I Have chosen 2 quotes relating to poverty seeing as we are focusing on poverty this term.
Quote 1:
The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer, it’s by making poor people richer.
By:Marco Rubio
In this quote we have to different type of meanings in 1.Marco says he does not want rich people to become poorer but for poorer to become richer.In my opinion I believe this would mean for the rich to donate to ways of improving the lifestyle of the poor people and also benefiting them profitably as well, a good example of this would be to start creating jobs for them there and creating houses so you would being to create an economy which would need to be founded at the start but will soon expand and balance itself out and then your profit will begin to enter.
Quote 2:
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Henry David Thoreau
In this quote Henry says that life will become much simpler as it goes on and on and things will be lost as life goes on such as poverty hate.He in others is trying to say us humans will create a better place in this world . The writer makes you think that this is true by putting himself in your position and a thoughts in a way.He uses the power of your to persuade you to think that in your mind you know that it’s actually happening.
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
Sholom Aleichem
In this quote it says that “life” is like a dream for the smart ones.For the dumb ones its just a game you get to the end at it is over.For the rich ones life is just a joke(comedy) and for the poor the worst thing ever.

I read this with interest, and saw clearly that you have considered poverty in some detail. Unfortunately there is no real parsing going on here, and as such you mainly explain the meaning rather than beginning to explore how the speakers make their points. This limits you and does not allow for analysis.
