that Abramsky uses to support his ideas and providing the short stories of the
several individual lives. In their

3 3.. Have
any specific passages from the book have struck
you so far? If so, which ones?
All
the passages were very striking and they all were very informing. At the same time it all sounded so
familiar. I have seen the struggle and I
have dealt with it. I have close
relatives that still suffer from poverty today. These passages were more motivating to me
because it reminded of how much I hated living in poverty. It made me realize how much I hated going
days without food, how my mom lost her job, how our home went into
foreclosure. I remember all these tragic
nights all too clear. The passage didn’t
just motivate me but it also made to realize that I have to plan for days like
this. Anything can happen and it can
affect for life. It felt good to hear
other people share their stories.
