Bersani also writes that Flaubert detaches himself entirely from the community that he writes about. Although there are parts of the book that displays the narrator as a member of the society. For example in the start of the novel the introduction of Charles seem to me made by a person who was involved in the action.

“Homeless Veterans: Perspectives On Social Services Use”
Number of words: 726 | Number of pages: 3.... to the 1980’s until homelessness was documented, or at least “well” documented. I believe homelessness has been a problem for hundreds of years.

Each person must choose between bad ethical decisions such as partying all the time, drinking, cheating, missing classes, and not doing homework or studying; and more desirable ethical decisions such as choosing not to drink, getting things done on time, and never giving up.
