Question Number 7 on Pg259.

   I don't think its likely that anyone would go out to help any stranger. For all you know, they stranger could be a murderer or a rapist or some sort. I think the young man helping out with Mrs. Chen at last is nice of him. When I think about the big apple, I rarely hear that people help each other out. Instead of helping each other, all I have ever heard was that they are always being jerks to each other. I never would expect someone like him to be in New York City and help out with a stranger like that. I think everyone else in New York would not help a strange Chinese lady on the subway. One reason why I would not help out a stranger, especially in New York, is because I don't really know what the stranger's intensions are with me. He could want to kill me, or he could be trying to mug me and steal my wallet or some other nonesense. This student could be helping her just because he has a strong sympathy towards Mrs.Chen because she is from China. I think this young student has experienced the Exact same experience with Mrs. Chen. When he first came to the city, he could have experienced the exact same scenerio as Mrs.Chen. He would not know any English and no one helped him out. He then had a tough time finding his way back. I think he does not want anyone else to experience the challenge he faced when he first arrived in New York. I think that is the biggest incentives and reason why he helped her out.
