In What Category Do We fit?

   In the book Sold by Patricia McCormick the conditions that they live in are really low. We in our country we always say that we are so poor; but one thing that we don't consider are the conditions that other people in other countries live in. For example, in the book it says that to even have a tin roof it is a sign of luxury. Something so simple as a tin roof is worth millions for them. We usually always complain because don't have a television. They survive everyday with what they can afford; even if it means a tin roof with a hut made out of clay. When we have a brick home. We are so selfish that we only care about what we have and not others.
