Tichi

Cecelia Tichi recognizes Nickel and Dimed as a significant, modern outlook on "muckracking". As Tichi states Ehrenreich enters into these visions of muckracking in america to once again show the harsh reality of the underpaid and overworked in the US. Tichi identifies that Ehreneich raises the issues that have been seen in relatable literature such as in The Jungle. But this time it is the contemporary worker in the reality of the 21st century US. Tichi shows us that Ehrenreich is bringin up issues that relate to basic human rights, which are going unnoticed in the American workplace, and the worker in these conditions is the "invisible" of society, to which Tichi also likens to being an inmate in prison.

I think that Tichi's view on Erenreich is to the point and exaclty how Erereich would want her work to be percieved. Tichi helped me again view the book in terms of the bigger issues, with human rights and the gap between the rich and the poor, but it is also about the narrative and how it attracts a reader to either see a different way of life, or maybe in some cases highlighting relatable situations.
