    Think of the Children in America Summer is the time when most kids enjoy their free time out of school, and for some kids, summer is the time where they’re not so lucky food-wise. Anna Quindlen, the author of the essay “School’s Out for Summer,” stated that children often were not able to receive the appropriate nutrition during summer because sometimes families do not have enough money to provide nutritious meals as they are served in school. The essay proves, with factual evidence, that, although most people tend to deny the problem, starvation occurs as well in the mighty country of America. Quindlen explained that “During the rest of the [school] year fifteen million students get free or cut-rate lunches at school... but only three million children are getting lunches though the federal summer lunch program.”

    Structure and Proofreading are Important Hungry children, humiliated parents, and confused focus groups; all things involved in Anna Quindlen ’s essay “School’s Out for Summer,” but how do these things tie in? In her essay, Quindlen effectively uses evidence to support her claim that hunger is a significant problem in America, particularly with children during the summer, yet she fails to make a cohesive argument with her eclectic evidence and fails to acknowledge and refute any noteworthy counterclaim. First and foremost, her argument is most definitely towards persuading people that child hunger is a problem that needs to be recognized and changed, not only in poor countries, but in the heart of the west; the United States. She starts out with giving the example that focus groups unanimously thought that child hunger would not happen here; “not in America.”
