Chauncy’s Identity
Throughout the encounter, Chauncy kept calling himself poor. Matt realized quickly that Chauncy had little money. However, he felt that “being poor” was part of the boy’s identity. Despite all that, he wanted to change those circumstances and was trying the only way he knew how.
His Goals
Chauncy told Matt that he hoped to become a rich entrepreneur. Once he made his fortune, he wanted to give some of it back to his neighborhood. Overall, he wanted to do what Matt was now doing, getting groceries and toiletries for needy people.
