Today we went to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. It was a very interesting place, making me think towards more important things. As we entered the center I seen what I thought was an art piece, though it was not it was a homeless guy standing inside the center. As we went down the hall their different pictures on each side of the hall. About half way down the exhibit there was a tv talking about a few family’s the center had helped. As we neared the end of the exhibit there was a picture of a little girl setting in some sunflowers. It just made me think of all the people that are homeless but some never think of the kids that are homeless. It just sad that the little ones must suffer just like the rest of us. She just looked so helpless making it show how helpless the homeless are deep down. The flowers making it seem like a happy picture seem happy, though you see that helpless little girl setting in the grass with no one around but the outdoors. We seen other exhibit’s they were really neat too, though there was nothing like the safe haven exhibit. We then moved to down town Nashville which some wouldn’t think there would be an abundance of homeless on the streets but as soon as we started walking the streets of Nashville there were homeless setting on the benches. It was sad the amount of homeless that go to the shelters but that there are still so many sleeping on the streets or not sleeping but moving about the streets during the night. Today was another eye opening day even though we have already been to the shelter but it was another thing to actually see them out on the streets. Its nothing like the people on the streets at home there are so many out there needing a home but no where to put them.
