读后感
很多人总是把“寒门难出贵子”视作一种极大的不公 包括最热门评论里提到的 任志强他爸爸不是商务部副部长的话 他不会取得这么大成就 在我看来这不是一句巨大的正确的废话？ 这和你不去健身房就不会有好身材不做够前戏就不会有愉悦的性体验有什么区别？ 家庭难道不是一个人...
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...
评分大一上专业课的时候，有位讲师貌似简略提起过这本书，所以在网上碰巧遇到时就下单购买了。具体是不是这本书我也不是很清楚，但即使不是，内容也是相似的，起码讨论的话题有交叠。 读书最忌囫囵吞枣，而合上书本以后，我陷入思考，不想“浪费”，于是写下此文记录自己不成熟的看...

通勤時間聽完。
评分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。
评分SOCL102课无聊的Textbook, 太过于浅显易懂而且没有深入思考了，好吧最后的Evaluation部分还可以，但这种体验生活的Field Trip方式对我而言实在是既没有社会学调查的严谨，也没有理论思想的深刻，只能是作家的无聊小随笔? Chris
评分我觉得是同时因为工资低和不知道经营生活才会过得那么凄惨。
