Read the excerpt from "homesick blues." do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? i was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars. he said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. i told him i didn't have any cash, although i was holding $12.00 in my back pocket. the truth was that i didn’t believe him. i thought he was lying to me because i'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because i am tired of it. later, after i got back to the apartment, i thought about the man and about me. the poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars. when had i become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? i don't like that part of me, and i don’t like the city that has brought it out for me to see. which sentence best shows a conflict between an individual and society?
later, after i got back to the apartment, i thought about the man and about me.
