My book was about the life of a family in poverty narrated by the wife and mother of this family. She explains how hard it is to live in poverty in America and the day to day life and goings on. She talks about each facet of her life. She begins by talking about healthcare and medical for people who can not easily afford it. As she continues through the book she uses wit and sarcasm to talk about how hard it is just to scrape by. She explains how people view the poor and what the actual reason is for that. They don’t understand how hard it is for the impoverished to get by in America today. My book is Hand to Mouth by Linda Tirado.I picked challenge one a topic I don’t know much about. I picked this challenge because I knew that that way of life was going on in America but didn’t know how hard life for those people really was. This book met the guidelines because I have not known what it was like not to even be able to have healthcare or be able to know that I will have a good meal that night. This book has made me look to people in a didn’t light and think about how their lives might have something going on and they are probably do the best they can and being stronger than anyone knows. America is run vastly by people working jobs that really can’t be lived on by their salary. A majority of jobs that you may go by day to day and not even realize how important they are are being worked by people who have no idea how they may make rent or pay bills that are piling up.“Being poor isn’t a crime-It just feels like it”. People in poverty feel segregated and mistreated because they can not provide a good lifestyle. By Brendan
