Reviews on: Children of the Street
I am impressed with this piece on several levels. I like your observations, and the way you turn these observations into social theory and commentary. While seeming to form an attachment for the girls, you somehow banish that with academic postulation. But, I believe you want me, the reader, to see through your posturing, because you really feel something for these girls who are not, after all, mere subjects for study, human beings ‘uneducated’ and of ‘reduced options’.
You have a marvelous vocabulary, but I wonder if you might have laid on the adverbs and adjectives a bit thick. Forgive me, this probably just reflects my preference for less adorned prose. I really enjoyed the thought-provoking nature of this piece.

This is very well written, you did an excellent job writing this story where you see the street child playing her trade well. So sad when innocence is lost quickly.

I’m sympathetic with the plight of the poverty stricken regardless of what circumstances put them there. …..When I was a youngster, jobs were not difficult to come by. Society, for the most part, expected youngster to start in an entry-level job and work their way up. I found the system worked well for those willing to labor hard and be productive.
Unfortunately, today greed and evil seem to be the underlying motives of too many of our public servants. Exploiting the poor is a worldwide problem for which I have no solution.
You give the reader much to consider.
