Irene Joseph Professor Johnson ENGL 1301-219 January 31, 2012 Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?

Everyday people continue to amaze me, how they value money over everything, including for some, and their own lives.

In his essay he argues, even in the face of various disasters that have befallen some of the poorest citizens, no efforts to combat poverty have been successful. The author uses logos, pathos, and ethos to get his point across. Logos is basic logic and reason an author uses to convey their point. Mr. Keyssar does so by pointing out, over the years there have been multiple attempts at solving the issue of poverty, the biggest of which was “The New Deal.” This allowed poverty to be viewed as a “collective responsibility” as opposed to being an individual issue (Keyssar, 2005).
