How To Be Good

 
How To Be Good
 by Nick Hornby has quite a bit of dialogue about homeless people in England. 

Part of a sentence says, "...giving lasagne away to starving drunks." I benefited from many people's generosity with meals on the streets.  Mother Teresa felt even a drunk deserves a good meal. So do starving children in third world countries. (why are they called "third world countries" btw?)

Unrelated to homeless issues a woman thinks "I do suddenly have the sense of being worth that much, and this is an entirely new and not altogether unwelcome feeling."
