"Common wisdom holds that men are socially programmed and biologically compelled to select women based on beauty and youth, physical traits that signal reproductive health. But many men date "across" and, increasingly, "up" the axes of education and achievement, with less regard for age, or for the notorious "arm candy" factor" (Siegel 386).

Jo Goodwin Parker’s, "What Is Poverty?" is a powerful essay. Parker wants people to listen as she reveals the meaning of poverty. Parker describes poverty with such vivid details that it makes the reader see the harsh realities of poverty. Parker was poor even as a child, resulting in her dropping out of school because the other children teased her tattered appearance. Parker was married, had three kids, and divorced at a young age. The harsh living conditions and stress make Parker look and feel older than her actual age. This essay generates feelings of emotion to the person who reads it, such as sorrow, empathy, and guilt. People feel guilty because they take for granted the amenities of hot water, soap, clothes, electric, and medications, but to Parker these essential needs are a “luxury” that she cannot afford. Parker knows the true meaning of poverty, sacrificing her own needs for the sake of her children’s well-being. In desperation, Parker puts aside the shame and embarrassment she feels and reaches out to ask the government for help. The staff in these government assistant programs makes Parker feel degraded and less than human. Parkers’ love for her children is stronger than the shame she feels for having to beg for help. In addition, she feels belittled because she has to tell her life story over and over again to strangers. Parker knows that people judge her for not being able to provide for her children. The essay closes with Parker confessing her dreams of wanting more, and challenges people to help or speak up.

"We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

"We are all familiar with the more usual résumé-padding story, whereby a public figure incorporates credentials or accomplishments to which he or she has no honest claim. Everyone agrees that this kind of cosmetic makeover is wrong. But what about lifosuction—the removal from one's biography of innocuous yet somehow unsightly elements that happen to be true? It is a common procedure" (251).
