Goal:

The goal of this paper is to persuade people in other communities of the struggles that some families face long term.

Audience: I would like to persuade the wealthy community to show them how much harder it is in low income homes and communities. The government would also be a target for persuading to implement more programs for poverty communities or single parent homes in rural areas. My audience think that providing childcare is not as hard. Not experiencing the low paying jobs while having kids or being raised in single parent homes. They would argue that affordable childcare is possible if you get a job. I would argue Not only does it affects childhood depression but education among those communities as well. My essay would persuade the affects to low income families because they can not provide proper Childcare. The values that I share with my audience is that Affordable Childcare would decrease Child poverty, depression among adults and education levels
