    What is prevalent yet, not willingly talked about? Hunger is a severe problem facing America today. Millions of people are starving everyday in America. Soup kitchen help relieve this problem little by little everyday. So, why are soup kitchens not supported but fought?

    Mary Barber, in her article states there is resistance to helping those in need. She backs this up in the court summary that she wrote. She wrote the report not only to the side for helping but to show the truth that some people are selfish. The audience was mainly to lawyers and politicians who read this report.

    Basically this court case was about wanting to expand the current soup kitchen in LA. Their main point, for the against, was that the people that go to them are not the most choice and people don't want homeless people in the neighborhoods surrounding the kitchen. Also the opposing side says the kitchens don't try to fix the people's situation. This was good over all, it had strong points and weak ones. The opposing side argument was very narrow with only two main points. I would use this piece to refute this in my research essay.

    Vera Chinese states there are two sides on helping/ fighting the soup kitchens. To build up her statement she brings in both sides of the argument to effectively reveal the two sides. The audience meant for this article was probably the locals near the soup kitchen in Riverhead.

    Overall this was more of a compare and contrast of the two view points. The strong point for the against is the people do not like the character/ appearance of the people benefiting from the soup kitchen. Yet, the opposite side stated that they had to move because the people were heartless and cold, almost inhuman towards their fellow humans. This is a two for one special article, and I can use this to help overturn the heartless argument.

    Greer provides insightful statistics on hunger in America. This is effective because it shows the gravity of the situation and is clear and concise. The targeted audience is any sensible person with a heart.

    This web page was a very insightful. They listed on the page statistics and facts on hunger and their soup kitchen. This to me by adding statistics was an effective move to persuade people to consider to donate to help the cause. This can be used to strengthen the point of the severity of hunger in America.

    Feeding America, in their report of 2010 state that the people that need help to get food is huge and still rising. They back this claim up with statistics all throughout to reinforce their findings. They write to report the gravity of hunger in America in 2010. The audience written to is the average Joe American because they use meaningful words but nothing real fancy.

    This report is written by the organization. They use the statistics they have found in their report to effectively state the prevalence of hunger today. I can see myself using this report when a statistic is needed to help strengthen my essay later on.

    • Hunger in America 2010 is the largest study of domestic hunger

      • nger in America 2010 is the largest study of domestic hunger, providing comprehensive and statistically-valid data on our emergency food distribution system and the people Feeding America serves. Hunger in America 2010 is extremely detailed, drawing on data from more than 61,000 interviews with clients and surveys of 37,000 feeding agencies. 

         

        The report shows that hunger is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States, and our network is expanding its reach in response:

         
         
           
        • Feeding America is annually providing food to 37 million Americans, including 14 million children. This is an increase of 46 percent over 2006, when we were feeding 25 million Americans, including 9 million children, each year.
          •  
        • That means one in eight Americans now rely on Feeding America for food and groceries.
          •  
        • Feeding America's nationwide network of food banks is feeding 1 million more Americans each week than we did in 2006. 
          •  
        • Thirty-six percent of the households we serve have at least one person working.
          •  
        • More than one-third of client households report having to choose between food and other basic necessities, such as rent, utilities and medical care.
          •  
        • The number of children the Feeding America network serves has increased by 50 percent since 2006.

    In Share our Strength's donation page they create an atmosphere of charity and generosity. This is done by giving facts on what they do and how they do it. This was made to give people the chance to help fight hunger. The target audience is parents with children of their own.

    So the run down of this article was that it listed a lot of facts on what they do and why it is important to donate. This was very effective for them because it shows that they have nothing to hide. They are not going to take your money that you gave. So honesty really is the best policy or at least when it comes to gathering donations for a worthy cause. This can be used to show how soup kitchens receive support and show how to localize that process.

    Amy Tuteur, posted article, states that soup kitchens are unneeded and unfair competition. This is backed up by what Greedy, spokesman for the grocery industry, says what soup kitchens do. The article was written to complain about how unfair soup kitchens really are. The main audience written to is young to old adults.

    This entire article is about slamming the soup kitchens right into the ground. Soup kitchens were related to socialistic type of business in which the rich suffer to benefit the poor. This is a very strong opposing side to soup kitchens. This may be the hardest argument to refute in the research paper.

    Wikipedia's page on soup kitchen states what a soup kitchen is. They show this by giving a definition of a soup kitchen in the article. This was written to give a clear light on what a soup kitchen is and stand for. This was written for people looking to find what a soup kitchen is.

    This article was a basic definition of a soup kitchen. Yet, on top of that there are some facts relating with soup kitchens. This can be used in the beginning of the research paper to give the reader a clear, clean view of what a soup kitchen basically is.

    en.wikipedia.org/...Soup_kitchens soup kitchen

    • A soup kitchen, a bread line, or a meal center is a place where food is offered to the hungry for free or at a reasonably low price. Frequently located in lower-income neighborhoods, they are often staffed by volunteer organizations, such as church groups or community groups. Soup kitchens sometimes obtain food from a food bank for free or at a low price, because they are considered a charity.

  • Conclusion

    Much was learned from this research. An insight made by relieving the fact that people tend to be more heartless when it doesn't profit them to be charitable. I will use all of this information to help show a way to turn that tide and get the community to help just because they can.
