fully aware of its circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e So, I hesitated a lot when writing a sentence with 'poverty' as the subject, but I wrote it anyway.\u003cbr\u003e Because someone else will write about poverty in the first person.\u003cbr\u003e The world needs compelling first-person voices that aren't captured by poverty measurement models.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the thing I received from the teachers' office was not sterilized milk but a college entrance exam textbook, I was still heavy, but I wasn't annoyed.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, a suspicion began to creep in that perhaps I had become resigned to poverty and had accepted these “small gifts.”\u003cbr\u003e --- p.15\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI know some people will argue that if you buy books or go to school, you are not truly poor.\u003cbr\u003e I also know that there is poverty where it is difficult to make ends meet.\u003cbr\u003e However, that does not mean that the fact that 'education' was still the way out of poverty in the 2000s when I went to private academies, eating up my mother's wages, body, and time, is 'fake'.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I developed chronic inflammation in the ligaments in both arms from washing breadboards at a bakery.\u003cbr\u003e I just stuck on a patch and held on, but my elbows started to hurt.\u003cbr\u003e Some areas such as muscle injections and physical therapy are not covered by medical insurance, so treatment was rarely received.\u003cbr\u003e The problem of 'unmet medical needs' for medical aid recipients occurs on a daily basis.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My acting didn't seem to end.\u003cbr\u003e I made up words and gestures to avoid being intimidated, not even knowing what was holding me back. \u003cbr\u003e…I was ashamed of my poverty, but I was also ashamed of myself for trying so hard.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was a shop near the Golden Gate Bridge that sold clam chowder soup in pancakes, and if you let your guard down, a seagull bigger than a man's calf will snatch the bread away.\u003cbr\u003e Did other people already know that having their meal stolen by a bird would become an unforgettable memory?\u003cbr\u003e Are we all living a life where we are both genuinely upset and happy about these kinds of happenings?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We reported our survival, showing off our scars, and strengthened our sense of solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e Look here, I'm here too.\u003cbr\u003e The scars left behind by not being able to report the perpetrator even though I knew him\/her have become scars.\u003cbr\u003e Still, I am living well and will continue to do so, and I made a silent promise to live on.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.89\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I talk about poverty, I put family last.\u003cbr\u003e I don't want to hear things like, \"It's because that's how my family is.\" \u003cbr\u003eI'm tired of the clichés that treat unhappy families and poverty as a set.\u003cbr\u003e My poverty wasn't caused by my family, but by car accidents, alcoholism, career interruptions for women, low wages, gender-based violence, and domestic violence.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poor people want to escape their current reality more strongly than anyone else, but they are more strongly bound to it than anyone else.\u003cbr\u003e …there is no time to continue worrying about what to do in the future or what kind of person to be.\u003cbr\u003e Because there is no one to pay me for the time I spend worrying about the future.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Putting aside the work environment and intensity, if you look at the annual salary alone, I was a 6th-year academy instructor who was earning quite well.\u003cbr\u003e …Once you taste it, you will never forget the taste of poverty.\u003cbr\u003e Even though people around me say that I have that much income and that it's quite comfortable, I don't feel comfortable at all.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.137\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Welfare website has four menus: welfare services, service application, welfare guidance, welfare assistance, and welfare reporting. It is significant that alongside the four items demonstrating the will to provide welfare, there is also a ‘welfare reporting’ item that advertises and encourages reporting of ‘illegal receipt.’\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.149\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eMarty's On Series Volume 5\u003cbr\u003e Thinking and Writing about Poverty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Young poverty born in 1997\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author, who is 26 years old this year, has been living as a recipient of basic livelihood security for about 20 years until 2019.\u003cbr\u003e But I know that I cannot represent the poverty of Korea.\u003cbr\u003e It's not that they're less poor, but because poverty takes many different forms.\u003cbr\u003e Based on the living wage, this is on par with the 2.45 million people earning less than 30% of the median income. However, the author knows firsthand that there are factors that income levels cannot explain, such as working conditions, health status, education level, family characteristics, and housing issues. \u003cbr\u003eThat's why this book is written entirely in the first person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But it's not for one person.\u003cbr\u003e His poverty is intertwined with social welfare, including the National Basic Livelihood Security System, EBS textbook support, milk provision during vacations, and activities of private scholarship associations, and it vibrates in the relationships with police officers, community center staff, school teachers, and peers.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who believes that poverty should not be confined to personal narratives, connects and overlaps his own poverty with that of others through novels, poems, articles, papers, and books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe power of real\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author realistically portrays the details of poverty that only those involved can accurately understand.\u003cbr\u003e No, it creates a scene that was there but no one noticed.\u003cbr\u003e By doing so, it vividly proves that poverty exists in reality, not in a drama.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author's mother poured any income she had beyond the minimum living expenses of welfare benefits into private tutoring (p. 29). It may seem strange that families receiving welfare invested their income in their children's private education rather than in food, clothing, and shelter.\u003cbr\u003e This is what the author wishes for.\u003cbr\u003e Breaking the cliché of 'poor people' or 'poverty' that we have in our heads.\u003cbr\u003e This book vividly demonstrates how powerful an autobiographical essay, in which the author and narrator are in sync, can be when it speaks of \"reality.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat poverty brings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is difficult to find any description of emotions in this book, which revolves around actions, choices, and events brought about by poverty. \u003cbr\u003eThe author calmly recalls when he went on a trip to the United States with the support of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation (\"The Happening of Overseas Travel,\" p. 76), when he spent the winter bare-legged instead of wearing stockings that were likely to go out (\"Smoke,\" p. 64), and when he stopped his master's program at the completion stage (\"A Defense of the Master's Degree (Completion)\" p. 58).\u003cbr\u003e But the feelings of those around him about his poverty were all over the place.\u003cbr\u003e “The attitude and temperature of adults towards poor and young people fluctuated like this.\u003cbr\u003e He canceled, then apologized, then looked down on me, then brought me up.\u003cbr\u003e “He was businesslike, then affectionate, then cold, then seething.” However, the author quickly realized that “he was only intoxicated by his own boiling self, and in fact had no interest in poor and young people” (p. 88).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe emotions of sadness, joy, regret, disappointment, pity, compassion, and support that readers will feel as they watch the author go through his or her struggles due to poverty are left to the reader's own imagination.\u003cbr\u003e This book hopes that these emotions, easily triggered and then extinguished by the \"spectacle\" of poverty, will serve as a driving force for social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndividual poverty is the poverty of society.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poverty cannot be personal.\u003cbr\u003e This is because it is inseparable from unemployment, disability, career breaks for married women, the social atmosphere that leaves welfare to families and businesses, the selective welfare system, thorough welfare application-based system, and the entrenched meritocracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author writes that when talking about poverty, family is mentioned last. \u003cbr\u003eWhen talking about my visually impaired father who was an alcoholic and my mother who had difficulty finding a job due to the aftereffects of a car accident, the cause of poverty is often lumped together as 'family'.\u003cbr\u003e Once you remove the 'unhappy family history' from poverty, the situation becomes clearer.\u003cbr\u003e The author states, \"My poverty was a combination of car accidents, alcoholism, career interruptions for women, low wages, gender-based violence, and domestic violence.\" (p. 116)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The appendix, “Shortcut to Welfare Application” (page 147), shows that Korea’s welfare system cannot function without “applicants.”\u003cbr\u003e Even while working tirelessly at tutoring, academies, meat restaurants, and bakeries throughout college and graduate school, the author constantly checked for scholarship extensions and wrestled with government officials to resolve housing issues. \u003cbr\u003eThis book asks whether the desperation to avoid being excluded from selective welfare is not taking away even sleep from poor young people who do not have the time and resources to think about what they want to do tomorrow or what kind of job they want to have in a few years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBecause poverty doesn't end even after the book ends\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book, which consists of 33 anecdotes, is not very long.\u003cbr\u003e It won't take too long to finish the book.\u003cbr\u003e But the author has experienced and is experiencing these days over and over again.\u003cbr\u003e This is the key.\u003cbr\u003e Even if the book ends, the author's poverty will not end, and even if the author's poverty becomes a thing of the past, the poverty of our society is still ongoing.\u003cbr\u003e This book calls for ongoing attention to poverty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author does not offer analyses or alternatives for which he cannot take responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e He doesn't even try to find meaning in the poverty he has experienced.\u003cbr\u003e I'll just write it as it is. \u003cbr\u003eIt is now up to society to contextualize and cherish these fragments.
