Read Evicted book from chapters 6-7 & 9-12 and answer the following 2 questions:
Question 1: Using your sociological imagination, identify 2 specific issues around poverty then explain/examine/analyze how and why those issues emerge and impact those families (issues like inequality or poverty are too broad and not acceptable; think about something like minimum wage, health etc… and connect with poverty)
Question 2: Using your sociological imagination, explain/examine/analyze how poverty is structured around ethnicity and age (analyze those 2 issues separately)
This is how your answers should be structured:
How does this theme help us understand the issues faced by people in poverty?
Provide in-depth analysis around this theme and how it is linked to poverty
Be sure to provide sources to support your claims (refer to Power & Poverty).
Introduction of a common theme identified in the stories
Explain this theme using your sociological imagination
Provide short examples from the stories
Repeat for 2nd theme
The answers to each question should be roughly 2-21/2 pages each.
