Wake Up America

Anna Quindlen uses article, “School’s Out for Summer”, to address child hunger over the school break in America. Normally when people in America hear child hunger, they think of 3rd World Countries and Feeding Africa etc., but what they’re failing to realize is that the issue goes on in America, it could even be happening in your neighborhood. Quindlen has made this issue evident and gives voice to the issue that is otherwise soft spoken. Quindlen kicks off this article by using a shocking statistic, “During the rest of the year fifteen million students get free or cut-rate lunches at school, and many of them get breakfast too. But only three million children are getting lunches through the federal summer lunch program.”
