However, the reader is exposed to the harsh, brutal truth of the lower-class society. Because George Wilson is a poor servant that has had little to eat in several days, we can not help but have sympathy for him. The upper-class is stuck up and oblivious to the needs and cares of their servants. However, those servants help with and take care of the needs of the other servants. While Wilson is on his way to see Mr. Carson, we learn that he is very hungry and hasn’t eaten in days.

In the poem he gets describes as 'A solitary mister' which reflects on the fact that he is isolated from the society. Similarly 'The Clown Punk' is a piteous man who is not accepted by the society because of his identity and the way he looks.

The structures of both poems have been written to convey the isolation of the characters for example the poet in T.H.I.T.P has divided the poem into seven stanzas, each consist of six lines.
Injustice is mostly endured by the powerless class of society. Throughout the texts studied, Oliver Twist By Charles Dickens and Slum dog Millionaire by Danny Boyle, injustice is perceived as neglect, poverty, and abuse.

Oliver Twist is a young orphan who is starts off in Mrs Mann’s workhouse, the children are tortured by slow starvation and Oliver is drawn the short straw to ask for more.

We see how selfish and self centered the narrator is as he has thoughts of, “this blind man” “coming to sleep in [his] house” and telling his wife “maybe [he] could take him bowling” (22). The narrator’s jealousy and lack of interest in Robert’s visit is blatantly apparent. While his wife goes to the depot to pick up Robert
daddy tucked in a blanket In The essays “Daddy Tucked the Blanket” By Randall Williams, and “Shame” By Richard Gregory both have the same conflict in their lives and that conflict is poverty. Randall has problems with poverty; However, Randall’s point of view with poverty is his house being so messed up and torn up with all the people living in it and is ashamed of bringing any friends over because of the bad shape it’s in.

It’s not only the barrier of the African Americans to seek their dream, it also affected and hurted African Americans’ life deeply. For instance, the treatment of Americans will usually better than African Americans in some restaurant or market.

The children in Lizabeth’s dusty community do not even comprehend that there is an entire world outside of rural Maryland. Lizabeth’s mind is so wrapped in the poverty that Miss Lottie’s marigolds frustrate her.
