I already started the summary part of the essay here it is: “How the Poor Are Made to Pay for Their Poverty”
From this article, Ehrenreich states that employers can steal from the poor since they can program their machines to deduct some dollars from every paycheck. These employers can also ask the workers to report to work earlier by around 30 minutes and fail to pay them. The poor are forced to work on this type of stand because they want to retain their employment. The poor are made to pay for being poor through stealing from them in an impersonal, systematic, and covered means that they cannot notice. Lenders are also charging the poor a tremendous interest for the loans they acquire on the street corner loan shark. The government also is a looter of the poor since they do not put any effort to evaluate the figures and amount looted from the poor. The government has turned a blind eye to the amount charged as interest by businesses to the poor or the unfortunate people in society. The author also states that the local government is the predator because they are paid to ensure that the community is safe. Instead, they do not set any agency responsible for tracking local records and local level law enforcement.
SUMMARY ON Ehrenreich (Links to an external site.), “How the Poor Are Made to Pay for Their Poverty” (pp. 364-368)
PART 1: outline of your Summary/Response paper. This is to ensure that you take the time to compose your ideas before diving straight into writing your first draft; it also ensures that you’ve carefully considered your use of logos in your essay.
You are welcome to submit your outline in any of the following formats below that works for you:
- traditional bullet-point outline (sample template here (Links to an external site.))
- a voice recording where you go section by section describing how you will organize your paper (“In the summary, I’ll talk about … My thesis will be … The first point the author makes that I’ll address is … My response will be … The second point from the article I’ll be addressing is … My response will be … The third point I’ll address is … My response is … My concession is … My rebuttal is … My conclusion will state …)

If for any reason the “Canvas Studio” feature does not work on your device, you can record yourself by going to Vocaroo.com and then sharing the link from vocaroo in the text box. - a mindmap (like a traditional outline, but more visually appealing)
Here’s a free resource online (Links to an external site.) (here’s another one (Links to an external site.) that’s an app) to mind map your ideas, or you can hand-write it and upload a photo of your mindmap
PART 2:STEP 1: Find your sources
Search for two articles that will support the response that you presented in your outline in Module 7.2.
One article MUST be a scholarly source. To access City’s Library databases, go to the City LRC website (Links to an external site.), then click on “EBSCO Articles” under “Start Research Here!” (or click here (Links to an external site.)); you will need your 10-digit student ID and last name to log in.
The other one can be a popular source (like from established news outlets or magazines).NOTE: Research takes time! And your argument is only as best as the evidence you use to support it. So, before you get started, I highly recommend you read these tips on narrowing down your keywords search (Links to an external site.).
