In the United States there are 25 million children without their father (Horn). These are some sad statistics. It is important for families to spend as much time as they can to their children and the best way for that to happen is that you need to be married that is Horn’s belief. Then there are people like Edin and Kefalas who bring out human element to single parents. When you bring more of a human element to a reader you tend to have more people towards your side. They may not have had all statistics for this argument but, the ethos and pathos were well written. The America we live in today has single parents 1 in 3.
Single parents for the most part do not want to be single parents they would like to have another parent in the house in order to help their kids to grow up to be fine adults. Their where stories from Jen talking about Rick not denying the paternity but, she did also mention that Rick was criminal since he was in an out of juvenile hall. Jen also admits if you do have a kid sooner it tends to make things harder since the kids needs go before you own. When you feel like that your in love with someone people want to have kids for the most part. When a boyfriend makes all these actions to a girl that loves him the girlfriend wants to follow through. It was quite unfortunate it did not work out the way she wanted but that is not an uncommon theme when 40% + of marriages end in divorce.
Although there were not as many statistics used they used someone elses story to bring perspective to the whole situation. Jen by no stretch of the imagination was well off in her situation she suffers like any other person that likes anyone else in those impoverish conditions. She showed how having her son helped her it gave her feel had given a sense of purpose since the rest of society has shunned her for doing something that was socially unacceptable. Although Jen would like to get married she does not want to just marry
