Question

My mother fell ill and the problem of food became an acute, daily agony. Hunger was with us always. Sometimes the neighbors would feed us or a dollar bill would come in the mail from my grandmother. It was winter and I would buy a dime’s worth of coal each morning from the corner coalyard and lug it home in paper bags. For a time I remained out of school to wait upon my mother, then Granny came to visit us and I returned to school. Through his personal experience, which social issue is Wright emphasizing?

Answer 1

it is D. the effects of poverty on families

Answer 2

The effect of poverty on families.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wright is emphasizing on the effect of poverty on families.

Family income has great effect on a child's life and development in different ways. Wright was out of school and his family was hungry always because they couldn't afford these.

Living on little income causes a parents stress level to increase, his mom is sick and this I'll health has limited her capacity to provide manual labour, causing a further reduction in income.

Poverty in families affect relationships and families. All areas of their lives are negatively affected by poverty in the home, school, friendships and more.
