Tales of an American Hobo

Tales of an American Hobo was a collection of short stories about the life of a Hobo. This book taught me a lot of lessons in life one being, "Treat everyone with the respect that you would liked to be treated with." The hobo in this book was always disrespected and discriminated against in his life. The cops in the towns that he traveled to would tell him to leave and never come back. They didn't even give him a chance to start over and get his life going. He meet some nice people on his journey. He was as kind as possible to them and never took more than he would need to survive. There were the other people who tricked him into thinking that they where nice and gave him water that was bad and made him sick.
