The Other Wes Moore Pages 14-15

“My father had entered the hospital seeking help. But his face was unshaven, his clothes disheveled, his name unfamiliar, his address not in an affluent area. The hospital looked at him askance, insulted him with ridiculous questions, and basically told him to fend for himself. Now, my mother had to plan his funeral” (Moore 14-15).

What is your reaction to this revelation? Think critically. Fully develop your response with evidence/reasoning.
