Annotated Bibiliography

Blow, Charles. Them That’s Not Shall Lose. The New York Times. June 24, 2011. Web. February 10, 2016. The first quote I chose was by James A. Baldwin, whos was an African American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. It has a much deeper meaning than simply stating a fact, and coming from someone who has experienced poverty first hand, it means a lot more. His quote states "Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor."

Patil, Pratibha. Speech of The President of India. Embassy of India. January 25, 2011. Web. February 10, 2016. Patil is stating that without taking a more sensitive and practical look at poverty, the issue will never become completely resolved. This quote could be used for a transition into the topic of how to go about resolving poverty in the world in a hypothetical paper. "Our goal of poverty eradication and of inclusive growth that embraces the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of society can be achieved when our actions are guided by a social conscience and are not devoid of sensitivity." Patil was the 12th President of India who had a Master's Degree in Political Science and Economics, and Bachelors of Law Degree.

Perry, Tyler. Tyler Perry's Open Letter to Penn State 11-Year-Old. Newsweek. November 28, 2011. Web. February 10, 2016. Tyler Perry is a very prominent actor, producer, director, screenwriter, playwright, author, and songwriter, and was actually homeless for a number of years. While the source of this quote may not contain any particular merit because it is coming from an article that is not necessarily related to poverty, he is a very accredited person, and this statement provides a very vivid description of what poverty may seem like to some; a very hopeless situation. "I was a very poor young black boy in New Orleans, just a face without a name, swimming in a sea of poverty trying to survive."

Piccard, Bertrand. How We Give. Simplexity Clothing. Simplexity Inc. n.d. February 10, 2016. If I was to include this in a hypothetical paper I would mainly use it as an aspect of ethos. Since he is saying that in the future, a person's character may perhaps be judged on how they fight for the less fortunate. "In the 21st century, I think the heroes will be the people who will improve the quality of life, fight poverty and introduce more sustainability." Bertrand was a swiss psychiatrist, and recipient of the Harmon Trophy.

Vajpayee, Atal Bihari. Looking at Poverty, Beyond Lack of Income. HubPages Inc. February 27, 2014. February 10, 2016. This quote would be a good backup to the logos aspect of the paper. Vajpayee is taking a very logical standpoint and looking deeper into the matter than just the surface of the problem.

"Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education, health care, political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation." Atal was a successful poet, journalist, political activist. Atal Bihari Vajpayee
