Answer: “The other half”, described in Jacob Rii’s story How The Other Half Lives, is represented by the poor side of New York City. This story specifically narrows in on the plight of working children. Through out his writing, Rii shows compassion for “the other half” and blames the greed and neglect from the wealthy for their situations. One example of this comes from a statement towards the end of this story. It states, “The greed of money that created this evil must undo itself. That is, as far as it can now be undone after this much damage has been done. Homes must be built for the working people by those who hire them.”
