Long Answer
1. Students can recall Boyle’s stance on compassion in Chapter 3: that true compassion consists not only in helping those in need but in seeing them as equals. They should highlight the many times Boyle confirms the humanity of former gang members such as Looney and the homeless helped by his Dolores Mission Church, and how he encourages others to do the same. (All chapters)
2. Students can point to the stories of Junior, Soledad and her sons, and Bandit and his daughter to show the success stories and the ways that Boyle’s work has touched people deeply. He finds strength in the strength of those around him, and he believes in his work.
