An undergraduate in arts # 3

Poor older men, worn out from work in forestry and other resource industries. Prostitutes at the bottom of the pecking order. Refugees with no job skills. Aboriginal people how lost, or never found, their way in life. Men and women consumed by their mental illness, childhood abuse or rampant addiction. Or a combination of some of the above. (170)

Writer’s Text:

n Deborah Jones’ essay “Vision of Hell” she states that some of the addicts on Vancouver’s streets have “no job skills at all” (Jones 170) and when combined with the withdrawals they would go through during work, finding a job for the majority of addicts would be a challenge.

Writer’s comment:

I quoted “no job skills at all” because these are the exact words….If it is word for word from the book, I use quotations.
