ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Question:

Use the passage from Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives to answer the question.


“Caught in the street by the truant officer, or by the agents of the Children’s Societies, peddling, perhaps, or begging, to help out the family resources, he runs the risk of being sent to a reformatory, where contact with vicious boys older than himself soon develop the latent possibilities for evil that lie hidden in him. . . . The risk of the reformatory is too great. What is done in the end is to let him take chances—with the chances all against him. The result is the rough young savage, familiar from the street.” – Jacob Riis


In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, analyze what Riis is saying about the lives of young boys in New York City’s slums.

my answer:


The passage given shows the consequences of child neglect and abandonment. It is possible to see how marginalized the child becomes, having to beg on the streets for money to survive and being arrested for it. On the reformatory, which should be a place to help raising this child, he would mingle with older boys who have become criminals and be under their influence, considering doing the same. At the end of the passage, it is said that this city in which he lives has no Truant Home to shelter him, and therefore the people responsible for making children attend school cannot guarantee that he will. Also, is states that the boy is likely to end up at the reformatory, due to all the socioeconomic problems that are being brought up.
