This book generates the notion of day-to-day theater, and this is the chronicling presumption of Ehrenreich in this book. There are a fury of disclaimers that the author adopts at the beginning of this book, which are aimed at distinguishing between her own endeavors and what the actors could exercise in the course of acting. This book is scientifically constructed since the author in most cases aligns herself with scientific concepts, and not performers (Ehrenreich, 2011). This book is unlike other stories that are written on fictions that only delve into the paradigm of real life without considering the importance of prose. However, Ehrenreich’s story is constructed based on factual evidence of life than these mere fictions. In her story Nickled and Dimed, Ehrenreich is pioneered by her own constructions; example of these elements include; the ATM card she holds firmly to, the situational case of hunger and homelessness, among other elemental constructs in this story (Ehrenreich, 2011). Some rhetorical question that emanate in this book, like asking questions about poverty with a limit seems to point pot that the social discourse is diverse and hold relativistic confines to these social underpinnings.
The introductory pint of this story holds a critical point to the author’s social manifestation. In this accord, the author reiterates that it’s imprudent for one to act poor, her case in a real manifestation of poverty. Indeed, the author’s assertion of her poverty status was not a mere pretense, but a real fact. For instance, the introductory point state that it’s hard for one to pretend to work a low-wage job, it is either he works it does not (Ehrenreich, 2011).
The hardest point is the contest between reality and anecdote fictional setup, something that Ehrenreich disputes in this novel. This book is fascinating, and revolutionary in manifesting real idea of what social situation lives by people. Subsequent chapters entail justification to the author’s assertion in realizing reality in a literal work. This is the introductory summary to Ehrenreich’s book, Nickel and Dimed.
