Detroit

Questions:
  1. Where is the government? Why aren’t they taking action to fix Detroit?
  2. If the government can’t help, why don’t the citizens of Detroit take initiative? Rather, they make the city worse for themselves.
  3. What can we, as a nation, do to improve Detroit’s living conditions? If neither the government nor the citizens doesn’t take initiative, who will?

I anticipate more chaos and government incompetence in the book. Also, I would like to see more of the reasons why Charlie went back to Detroit. Is he trying to solve the problem of the city? Or at least suggest what we could do? There are times where Charlie suggests that having a dream as a Detroiter is useless, but hey it’s free to dream. I look forward on connecting more of these instances to the class’ theme: American Dream.
