Amazing Grace by Jonathan Kozol

Jonathan Cosol's "Magic Grace" book analyzes the lives of people living in aged areas of South Bronx, New York. Kozol spends time with his children, talking to his parents and discussing the shocking living conditions and security issues that struggle for the inhabitants of downtown New York. He explained the strict lifestyle that the poor family was forced to enter strictly every day in detail. Diseases, starvation, crime, drugs are everyday problems that Kozol book people face, but many people continue to maintain a very religious and positive outlook on life.

South Bronx in New York City is the poorest national parliament ward of the United States. Drugs and violence are major problems, and living conditions are almost impossible. Jonathan Cosol's "Magical Grace" brings in stories of eyewitness testimonies and personal stories to the forgotten place and understands the real causes and problems of poverty. Poverty is much more complicated than at the ground level. Magic Grace breaks this obstacle and shows that government unfairness, separation of classes, lack of opportunities is a factor leading to extreme poverty not only in South Bronx but also around the world. I agree and I think that poverty is caused by government negligence and lack of opportunities.

As a part of this summer reading task, I read a book called "Magic Grace" by Jonathan Cozol. In this documentary style book he conveys the most poor, debilitated community of New York City and terrible but perfectly realistic situation of the area. Kozol wrote this book and told the story of the children living in the city. His goal was to tell the reader that the slums actually existed and that children living there should not live in such poor areas. The question is, "Why is their childhood different from other countries?" It often appears and needs to be reviewed again by everyone

Jonathan Kozol 's Amazing Grace is a book on children' s daily lives in South Bronx, the poorest country parliament district of the United States. Their life seems to be unusual for us, but for them they are as normal as the others. What is normal? For South Bronx children, living in pollution is the only lifestyle many of them know, only diseases, medicines, and violence. In this book, children are openly and honestly speaking the feelings of "abandonment", "hidden", "forgotten" of the country. Studying people simply informs us what their community is so far and why they are doing so. Jonathan Cosol really knows these people. With his knowledge and stories, I can better understand the environment they live in.
