Examples Of Someone Going Hungry

Before reading this book the thought of someone going hungry did not quite cross my mind. I guess I do not think about things like this because I have not experience anything like this before. Although, I see things on social media and on television it still does not hit me that much. Just thinking of people who are starving makes me wonder what are they going to do to survive. To think of someone going hungry is sad enough and sometime can be emotional. Its emotional because I see people starving and doing all that they can to stay alive. When I think about those who are going hungry, I think of people doing all that is possible to provide for themselves and love ones. I see people going through trash cans eating leftovers from what someone
She had rough life from the start as she told Schwartz. Her and her family grew up with nothing and it was hard on them because they did not have much to begin with. Her mother began drinking and things got worse for them. Her mother started drinking a lot and eventually started whopping her and her siblings. Things were so hard for their mother that she attempted to jump out the window, but Bertha was there to stop it (Schwartz 2003).

Her past had come back upon her when her husband began beating on her and their kids. Her husband constantly beat on her because he felt that she bought too much food and spend too much money.
