Chapter 2 summary: The rich and the
rest of us
This chapter of the book tells us how the recession has impacted
different groups of society from people who are about to retire; like jack who
is still waiting on his pension, to the future of America, whom the author in
the book describes as the children. Also this chapter emphasizes the point that
various politicians of important caliber haven’t once embedded the word that
starts with the letter “P” in their speeches that they have made. The word that
starts with the letter “P” is poverty, which is an important issue that the
author is trying to make as a point because you can see various charts and
examples on how people of the different social classes have suffered in their
class due to the lack of funding such as education for the children and
retirement funds for the elderly. In fact, you can see that various people of
different social classes get bothered when they hear that poverty is going
around their neighborhood, which In theory shouldn't happen. But what is put special attention to is the
fact that various children are losing their chance of opportunity to prosper
due to the fact that their classrooms and homes are missing funds to support
the children education wise. The lack of technology and parental education is
what holds back a lot of the youth in the society of poor Americans. One example
of this is the little girl Chasity, who lives with her grandma who can’t help
her with her education due to the fact that the grandma can’t read nor write.
