Mary Schmich wants the reader to feel compelled to help those of need who don't have as much as you do and to not look and how little you think you got because later you will see that is was huge. she wants us to remember what you got and be thankful that you're not in poverty.
The purpose of the column was to be thankful for what you have.
Some of the diction and syntax she used was very effective in her piece. one thing she did was having very short paragraphs. this was effect because every time the reader paused to go onto the next paragraph they processed her message which helped her get her point across better. Also she uses high diction words like elated and mystified which is very effective.
This column is a eye opener to out society because its shows us the not do good side of the world. it send a message to society that for the society to get better we need to help the ones that aren't as lucky as we are.
I just watched a movie called "the good lie" which was a great movie but it was about a couple of Sudanese kids journey to Kenya after the civil war killed there parent and tribe. they then make to america and get jobs. this movie really opened my eyes and encourage everyone to go see it.
