"Nickel and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich explores the life of the low wage poverty of Americans. She joins the low wage poverty and disquises her identity in order to see the lives of many hardworkers that are in the struggle of surviving with their low pay of $6-$7 an hour. She keeps the reader attention by actually being a worker in a hotel or waitress and going through what these workers go through to feel the vibe that people in America are being taken by advangtage. She uses life experiences to prove that the working system is unfair and corrupted. She explains the lives and goes through every moment a disadvantage worker would go through trying to survive in the world. She doesn't enjoy what she is doing going through this prosses( everyday) but is urged to reveile and help this people. She has in mind to the general worker because she is informing the workers about places/ jobs that are in harsh living wages that are tough to survive in. Her purpose is to enlighten the reader about these jobs that don't care about how much or who works and are being payed only about $6-$7 an hour.
