    When a child is not properly taken care of they can pick up bad habits. A child that isn’t thought properly will most likely fail economically in the future. They won’t just fail because of bad habits they pick up but also because of the corrosive relationship that uninterested students and unequipped teachers have. They will not be able to do well in school and feel as though a good education is too far for them to reach. Children that grow up in poverty are missing too much and it leads to a cycle that continues generations of impoverished people that will have impoverished children. As Leslie Lenkowsky wrote in her review of Shipler’s book “Still, he is convinced that the key fact about the working poor is their lack of income, which gives them and their children less room for error in everything they do. "Without the buffers of family affluence, achievement, and ambition," he writes, "a child is dangerously exposed." Children in poor families don’t have much room for error if they want to leave their poverty…

    Poverty is something that will bring you down a dark path if you let it. It’s needs and problems will only pile if you don’t take action. In poverty there will be people holding you up and providing you a platform to grow, but it is up to you if you want to step off of their help and into the life of uncertainty that comes with it. But in poverty the most important thing you can have, is people who will provide you with a good platform and lead you to stay with it, and not people who will stand there and simply not care…

    " There are no secret economies that nourish the poor; on the contrary, there are a host of special cost", meaning that there isn't any help for the poor but yet they have to pay for everything they need and have. Although it may be true in some cases but I disagree with the statement. The reason why I disagree is because it all depends on the person's situation. As for Barbara Ehrenreich she bases it on her co-workers life on how some struggle just get by without support. Unfortunately they are in a bad position where they are not able to receive support from others around them or simply because they're not motivated enough to do something about it and move on.…

    The aspects of a person’s life are not entirely determined by the circumstances he is born into – his decisions, the actions of others, and luck plays a large role as well. Since people are autonomous, they control how their lives turn out, but everyone’s life prospects are more “deeply shaped by a social structure that he or she did not choose” (page 130). This means that the poor are not entirely at fault for their living conditions; society’s structure may also affect their life outcomes. Not every citizen is granted equal opportunities, so not everyone should have the same social…

    After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…
