Chipped green the polish segregated to each individual fingertip fell, unable to hold on. Everything would burn, decease to exist. Color, no more raging a twisted eye. Description no longer coherent, reality crippled, melodies cracked. Dying. Burnt Alive.

    In preparation for this paper I chose to read Fire in the ashes: twenty five years among the poorest children in America by Jonathan Kozol. In this book Kozol has followed these children and their family’s lives for the past twenty five years. In his writing Kozol portrays a point of view most from his background and standing would not be capable of having. He portrays what life is like for those who have been let down by the system that was meant to protect them. Kozols writing style can be very blunt at times, not for shock value, but for the sake of portraying these children’s realities, and not sugarcoating the inequalities that they are faced with.
