Jonathan Kozol's Amazing Grace

The world today is full of great tragedies and rich joy. In a crowded population like New York, walking along the street will encounter homeless people walking in the most prosperous places. Unfortunately, nine out of ten HNWIs do not hesitate to go directly to unnecessary people. If this happens constantly, serious problems may occur. When you enter another community, the problem becomes more serious and wealthy people overlook it. The most poor people live in many districts, but people do not mind crossing the city center or the park.

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.

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.
