His purpose is to show how a person’s daily life is affected negatively by being illiterate in order to prove that illiteracy in a broad sense is a moral dilemma. Kozol’s intended audience in writing this essay would be the public. The essay made me aware of how little I initially thought about this issue in the context in which he put it. Kozol made the dangers of

Jonathan Kozol describes the conditions of several of America’s public schools. Between 1988 and 1990‚ Kozol visited schools in approximately 30 neighborhoods and found that there was a wide disparity in the conditions between the schools in the poorest inner-city communities and schools in the wealthier suburban communities.

Former teacher John Kozol‚ when being transferred to a new school‚ said‚ "The shock from going from one of the poorest schools to one of the wealthiest cannot be overstated (Kozol 2)."
