• How did the two games handle the issue of homelessness?

The first one, A Hobo's Journey, didn't teach you about the homeless and all it was, was a quiz about the homeless. The second one, Larry, handled it better by teaching you about one homeless person but still taught steroetypical things about homeless people.

• Do you think one was better than the other? 

I think Larry is better because you learned about one thing that can cause homelessness and what can cause people to stay homeless and other one you didn't learn anything but they need to stop using stereotypical things about homeless people.

• What would you do to improve either game?

For the first game I would make it so that you can learn all that facts before you take the quiz and also add some interactive game play. For the second, I would add another short story about another homeless person and you could learn different things.

• What kind of a game would you make about this issue?

I would make a game were people can learn about what causes homelessness and how people can prevent it and what you can try to do to get out of poverty. I would make it interactive and maybe have a quiz at the end.
