In The Street, by Ann Petry, Lutie Johnson, faces many obstacles within her environment and surroundings. Being a minority woman, single mother and living in Harlem, she becomes a victim of her environment in a way. She is vulnerable and at risk due to many obstacles she faces due to society and her relationship to her surroundings and the environment she lives in. Being a minority woman living in Harlem made it difficult to show and prove how intelligent and successful she can be. Other people see how beautiful Lutie is and describe the way she looks and automatically fit her in the category of prostitution due to the simple fact that she is minority and lives in Harlem.

While Eighner and Ehrenreich are both well educated, their experiences with poverty, finding food and where they live are vastly different. Two people of high intelligence see poverty in very different ways. Eighner is a published writer; however, he lived on the streets as “dumpster diver.” He viewed poverty not as living on the streets and eating out of dumpsters. He saw poverty as mankind wasting so easily and taking things for granted. Ehrenreich is also a published writer; however her view on poverty is living in a crowded apartment or in car.
Mr. O 3/4/13 Period 9 Thematic Essay Poverty is something that affects many people and may result in making bad choices. In the short story Cordelia the Crude, by Wallace Thurman poverty is a main problem in the story. Throughout the story many decisions Cordelia made were probably because she didn’t have the best opportunities. Even though the author didn’t say poverty was a problem it was an underlining cause.

He and Esperanza were in love with each other but could not marry because of the different classes. Miguel was very poor but he was hard working and caring.

In this paper, I will contrast as well as compare the settled living and hard living girls at Waretown High from Julie Bettie’s book “Women Without Class.” Both within working class come from similar yet different family backgrounds. They amongst their race and gender are distinguished from each other based on social identity within working class people. Also as Bettie described both groups, that led me to believe that settle livers have a better chance of succeed due to their different outlook informed by upbringings. Both hard livers and settled livers come from families with low income as their parents could only land jobs based on their educational level. The injury for both bard and settled living white girls is that their parents lives have influence on their personal inadequacy that lead to the sense of individual failure in which their class is variously displaced.
Lengel is very conservative being he is a Sunday school teacher and as Sammy tells is also very observant. “Lengel’s pretty dreary, teaches Sunday school and the rest, but he doesn’t miss that much.” (89) Lengel’s external conflict is not only between himself and Sammy, it is also between himself and the three barely clothed girls. His conservative nature and Christian morals will not allow him to just let these girls make a habit out of wearing only a bathing suit into the grocery store. “’That makes no difference,” Lengel tells her, and I could see from the way his eyes went that he hadn’t noticed she was wearing a two piece before. “We want you decently dressed when you come in here.”’ (90) From this we can also infer that he is sort of bold.
