The problem Quindlen has choose to write about in her story “School’s Out For Summer” is child hunger. The paper is a very good paper on explaining to someone why we should help end child hunger, although I believe that the paper could have been a little more interesting.I feel as if the evidence Quindlen used was effective, and it is information that would make a reader think about helping to change things. However, Quindlen did not name any resources of where she got some of her information from, so that would make it hard for us to validate her information.
Child hunger is a problem that does need to be put to an end, and I believe this is a paper that may help people understand why. This essay states reasons as to why a family might have so much child hunger or even starvation at all, such as “The people who run food banks report that most of their clients are minimum-wage workers who can’t afford enough to eat on their salaries.” this quote shows one main reason why families have so much starvation, and it’s because one person working doesn’t make enough to pay bills, to buy clothes, buy food,and do much more for …show more content…
the providence of one whole family. It is simply to big of a task to be put on one person, without the right amount of money.
The evidence used in the essay is some that I may have used to backup my support.
All of the evidence given, looks like factual evidence, but we wouldn't be able to know what would be true or not because the author did not provide any resources, or websites on where she got her information from. There is some evidence in the essay that may have not needed citation such as “And some kids don’t get enough to eat no matter what people tell themselves.” the reason that doesn’t need to be cited is because it is not factual evidence. On the other hand, “The Agriculture Department estimated in 1999 that twelve million children were hungry or at risk of going hungry.” is evidence that you would need to provide a resource for, because without the resources it would be hard to believe that you just did not make the evidence
yourself.
Overall, the essay that I have read is a very explanatory essay, and it does help me understand why we should end child hunger. The author did good will the topic, and worked really well with finding evidence to go along with it. And although the essay had a flew flaws with the textual evidence, it was very good. I believe that the author had a very good mindset on where she wanted to go with the essay, and she did prove her point.
