读后感
在准备GT考试时，读了许多励志文章，作者都描写自己准备考试的不易最后终于通过的故事，看了太多，这都让我对自己产生了一种感动，一种我在受难但结果将会是值得的感动，升华到认为经历苦难是有价值的，只要你努力了，一定会获得回报。我甚至会假想自己在异国他乡遭遇许多不顺...
评分以前说过的那个调查，富人们会说很多穷人之所以穷是因为他们不努力。知道几个人亲自去试。。还记得说第一天清洁大楼因为速度太慢，垃圾没赶上垃圾车，熟练了一阵子以后勉强能按时下班。。 下班后躺在破烂的临时住所里，累成狗了突然体会到穷人们光是维持生活都精疲力竭了，体力...
评分看到豆瓣上的那些吐槽，怀疑真的读了这本书吗？ 让人拙计啊。 这说的主要是一个中产女作家，为了体验blue collar人民的生活，分别跑去了美国的三个地方，做角色体验：没有住所的单身母亲。 她必须找到工作，最低工资 必须找到住的地方，这个有点复杂，因为她会付更多的钱住MOTE...

We are so used to social status we reside and hence lose the view of the whole picture. The rich does not understand the middle class. Middle class does not understand the working class. The working class does not understand the poor. It is so hard to move between the classes even if you try, try, and try.
评分有时候就碰上这样突发奇想的人，也真没办法。实在够狠。
评分篇幅可以减少到一章。。。

评分写得太condescending。虽然很大程度上可以理解，以作者的背景，所看所感肯定不是从普通working poor的角度。如果是我去体验，估计想法看法也是一样的。但可以写得更好一点。有些时候感觉她要表达的是好的意思，但听起来却有相反的undertone。
