Argument Essay supporting or challenging Ehrenreich’s analysis.

In “Evaluation,” the final chapter of Nickel and Dimed, Ehrenreich observes:
 
            “Some odd optical property of our highly polarized and unequal
            society makes the poor almost invisible to their economic superiors.
            The poor can see the affluent easily enough— on television, for
            example, or on the covers of magazines. But the affluent rarely
            see the poor or, if they do catch sight of them in some public space,
            rarely know what they’re seeing,  since— thanks to consignment
            stores and, yes, Wal-Mart— the poor are usually able to disguise
           themselves as member of the more comfortable classes.”
