Read this excerpt from a passage. "Imagine a classroom of 20 children, ready for learning. In this class, 12 of them - over half - are considered low-income or poor. Of the 72 million children in the United States, more than 45 million of them are growing up in low-income or poor families. That is 64 percent of children in the richest country in the world living just above or under the poverty line (Jiang 1). There are many causes to poverty, but none as inextricably linked as education. In fact, children whose parents have less than a high school degree have a significantly increased chance of growing up in poverty (Jiang 5). Poverty and lack of education are connected in a continuing, ever-worsening cycle. In fact, poverty is both a cause and an effect of lack of education."

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
