Blog #4

One thing that I noticed about the writings on commonplace is that each writer is trying to prove a point in their essays. There are trying to show how important a certain issue is and how as a society we can do to change it or help prevent it.
The similarity between my RAP and commonplace is that they are each trying to show how important an issue is. I think that I could change my essay to just focus on one issue instead of showing how one major issue can lead to many others. I could just explain how many things can lead to poverty and how it can happen to multiple people. That it’s very common in today’s society. Or I could show how poverty is becoming a major part in today’s society. That will show that the topic is current and that the numbers of people in poverty will continue to grow unless the nation does something to help it or prevent it.
Both my secondary and primary sources can help show physical and emotional abuse can lead to a person living in poverty.
My ideal audience of my work would be college students because they are the people of the future and can play a big part in trying to end people’s life of poverty. They can work with people through volunteer work and just providing a helping hand.

  1. I think this will be a really interesting topic to use for your commonplace essay, I think you should find a way to make it timely which you plan on doing and this will be possible especially because you want to incorporate how your readers, college students, will be able to help with the situation.
