Your thesis/ intro is really good. I think this is going to be a great essay!
ReplyDeleteThis essay is going to tug at some heart strings. Will you be discussing ways to deal with those who are in poverty situations until it is eliminated?
ReplyDeleteYou have a good set up! This is really going to be an emotional essay. I think your strength throughout this will be the emotional pull and one way you could make it even stronger is to add a part describing some personal situations. Like something about how you may see these people every day, but just ignore them. After all, a lot of children probably still go to school, if nothing else it is a warm safe place to stay so we even interact with them on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteLove your line up for the intro! This is going to be a great paper for sure. I like how you are ending with ideas to help and fix the problem too. Good job!
ReplyDeleteJust by looking at your thesis I could tell that you are very passionate about this topic. You seem to have everything extremely organized and planned out for when you type up your essay, this is going to be a very emotional and amazing essay.
ReplyDeleteThis will be an interesting paper, Emma. It's often something we don't like to discuss as a society at all, but definitely something that affects every day life whether it be socialization, academics, etc.
