    The words around the cirlce (Scruffy Blighters , Crims , Invisible People , Dossers , Winos...etc.) are like the names that some would call a homeless person in a negative way.

    for #1 you just have to say what they mean and in what way does these names do or describe the homeless people (the question is very self-explanatory).

    #2 what other negative stereotypical names can you give about homeless people>?

    #3 what sympathetic way or positive names can you give out about homeless people and write it down in another chart.

    1) What these terms tell me about the way homeless people can be veiwed is that homeless people are generally viewed as inferior or in a bad way, and the impression created is a lowly, motiveless bum.

    2) Bums, Hobos

    3) (Just use the same format but put words about homeless people that present them in a positive way, like: Ex-Soldiers, and things like that)
