I thought the whole part of the book that consisted of Chandra's family and herself moving around from one home to another due to something happening in the family. I think this is why they are so poor. Once the whole family has started to settle in, they find something has happened (someone dies, pedophile etc.). They then are forced to move somewhere else. It also might not help that there are 3 children as well as the mother herself. You can find these stories on page 18-24 approximately.
ReplyDeleteOn page 6 it states Mr. Bateman saying "Not possible.I'll be up to my ears in new costumers. I'm sorry. There're so many deaths these days. It's not me. It's the market." This quote refers to our essential question of "Why is there poverty?". We found this interesting because it shows how there was constant death at the time and how you couldn't depend on anyone for money supply due to the fact that they may be dead the next day. This caused part of the poverty problem because it was hard to get an income on a regular basis.
