The End of Neumark

I was very happy that Neumark had a happy ending, or as happy as it could get in their situation.  I liked how throughout the whole book she talked about all these terrible problems that are present in the South Bronx, but in the end still left hope with the reader.  I was actually not surprised to learn she was leaving the congregation.  I feel like no matter how hard we try to not get tired of something, we always do.  I think she lasted a lot longer than just about anyone else could, but sometimes you have to change things up for the better.  I know that God ask us to live our entire lives in pursuit of justice and to not really care where we are or how well off we are, but it's just human nature for us to want to be in the best situation possible for ourselves.  Now with that said, I believe that her whole book was simply a way to make people truly feel for the people who aren't as well off as ourselves.  She did a great job too.  With her numerous allusions to Bible stories and her dreadfully true statistics, it really made me think that we need to do something to change how America treats it's people.  Sure, some of us have no problems, but in my eyes, none of us should have problems and we need to try to get to that point as soon as possible.
