Jonathon Kozol marks the only problem to the homeless is devoid homes. Homeless are usually known as people who were brought into the streets in the 1970s when many people started losing jobs. The mentally ill are not necessarily the ones living on the streets, but it was the conditions in which they were exposed to, mostly not having shelter to stay in, that made the homeless this way.The stress from the small wages with economical instability caused many people to gradually move to the streets. Kozol's points that we, who have homes have neglected the ones in need such as the people on the streets, pushing forth more people to be on the streets.
Kozol's essay is persuasive and clear. Kozol's way of approaching "homelessness" has a good flow. He starts the essay with an opposing argument. Around about in the second paragraph Kozol adds his argument and imposes the idea that homelessness increased due to many economical problems many people have to face everyday. He uses statistics and direct quotes from actual homeless people. These reliable sources make his essay firm. Kozol doesn't forget to sum up his thoughts about the cause of homeless in the concluding paragraph. Overall, i enjoyed reading this essay.
