How Much Would You Risk For a Stranger?Why or Why not?

Jonathan definitely sympathizes the little boy. He understands how it must be hard to live without your parents and seeing them die in front of you. Not everyday do you find someone going way out of their way to help a little boy, especially not in New York. We simply ignore and carry on with our lives. However, I would certainly consider helping that little boy. When my parents and I see the homeless, I usually insist on giving money to them. No one is so heartless that they see someone in trouble and ignore. If you cannot help your own kind then what use are you of. Though that is one's opinion. Unfortunately, there is sometimes a limit that you can put yourself to. Though it depends on one's character. Jonathan has seen and gone through the feeling of missing and grieving for your family. Although, he can only imagine what it feels like to know that their not there for you anymore and won't be able to assure nor comfort you. I am sensitive towards these situations. Sometimes I feel I could do much more for the unemployed and homeless however I'm merely just a kid. Jonathan was determined to help the boy. How could he just notice him and carry on, leaving the boy to die? No! " More than once did he stagger, but did not fall." " He held the boy again. Holding him tightly though his arms ached." He was even tired but did not stop. Jonathan is more courageous than I could ever be but I know I would do anything I could to help one in need. Truly, it is true what they say " It depends on one's character and sometimes upbringing."
