Upper and lower class

In the essay the argument is that the rich exploit the poor. Even though this was the intended argument, the essay, to me, was more showing the difference between the rich and the poor. The part where the author uses the building blocks as a symbol for upper class, middle class, and lower class really put the gap of the classes in perspective, but it doesn’t show how the upper class exploits the lower class.

The author could’ve made a lot stronger argument if he would’ve used examples or more data. The author doesn’t use much ethos in his argument. He focused on the pathos hitting your emotional side, which makes you forget about the issue at hand and if he is actually making a good argument.

Overall it wasn’t a well written argument for what he wanted to say, but it does show you how much of a gap there is between the upper and lower classes and the advantages of being wealthy to begin with and how we always don’t get to chose or class.
