Recommended: Neat people vs. sloppy people

Even though messy people are unorganized and messy, they are still overall better then neat people. The start of the essay by Britt is effective in telling the reader what’s going on.” I’ve finally figured out the difference between neat people and sloppy people” (644). After that is when she push’s that” neat people are lazier and meaner then sloppy people” (644). The reason Britt says this is because she trying to demonstration that neat people are uncaring in the essay but she insistent on being comical throughout the essay. When I read the essay I didn’t really get the comical aspect she was strafing for. I took the essay a lot more serious because I think of myself a sloppy person and yes Britt says “sloppy people never get neat” (644). In my defense I’m trying to make myself change into a neat person. That part really threw me off like in Britt eyes sloppy people and neat people cannot change their ways.
Generally in the essay I do agree with her about neat people but she puts the neat people in a bad light throughout the essay. Then Britt says “Sloppy people live in Never-Ne...

Exemplification causes the audience to realize the extent of their materialistic nature. A definition of the average homeless person’s terms allows him to build his ethos and consequently allow the audience to believe and follow his purpose. A majority of people are a part of the middle class, and this majority tends to judge the poor for their lifestyle whether it be through Dumpster diving or begging on the streets. However, as proven by the essay, these people have no right to do so because the poor do, in reality, have a greater sense of self than these middle-class people, similar to the rich. The middle-class citizens must no longer act the victim; instead, they should be working on becoming more sentimental.
