Over the course of the book, Ron will go through great growth in character, so the first chapters provide the “before” picture of Ron’s transformation. When Denver is revealed as a homeless man, Ron comments on a homeless robbery of his store: “The incident firmly fixed my image of homeless people as a ragtag army of ants bent on ruining decent people’s picnics” (29). This episode foreshadows his later meeting with the homeless Denver. Ron’s prejudice against the homeless causes him to immediately dislike Denver before getting to know him. Ron's tranformation and his wife's encouragement assist him in overcoming his prejudice, and over time, he becomes best friends with Denver.
