Longing for a New Welfare System Para. 1 A
welfare client is supposed to cheat. Everybody
expects it. Faced with sharing a dinner of raw
pet food with the cat, many people in wheelchairs
I know bleed the system for a few extra dollars.
They tell the government that they are getting
two hundred dollars less than their real pension
so they can get a little extra welfare money. Or,
they tell the caseworker that the landlord raised
the rent by a hundred dollars.
???
8
Back
Para. 2 I have opted to live a life of
complete honesty. So instead, I go out and drum
up some business and draw cartoons. I even tell
welfare how much I make! Oh, Im tempted to get
paid under the table. But even if I yielded to
that temptation, big magazines are not going to
get involved in some sticky situation. They keep
my records, and that information goes right into
the governments computer. Very high-profile.  
???
???

Back
Para. 3 As a welfare client Im expected
to bow before the caseworker. Deep down,
caseworkers know that they are being made fools
of by many of their clients, and they feel they
are entitled to have clients bow to them as
compensation. Im not being bitter. Most
caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals
with high ideals. But after a few years in a
system that practically requires people to lie,
they become like the one I shall call Suzanne,
a detective in shorts.
???
???

Back
Para. 4 Not long after Christmas last year,
Suzanne came to inspect my apartment and saw some
new posters pasted on the wall. Whered you get
the money for those? she wanted to know. Para.
5     Friends and family. Para. 6   Well,
youd better have a receipt for it, by God. You
have to report any donations or gifts. Para. 7
    This was my cue to beg. Instead, I talked
back. I got a cigarette from somebody on the
street the other day. Do I have to report that?
Para. 8     Well Im sorry, but I dont make
the rules, Mr. Callahan.
???
???
11
Back
Para. 9 Suzanne tries to lecture me about
repairs to my wheelchair, which is always
breaking down because welfare wont spend the
money maintaining it properly. You know, Mr.
Callahan, Ive heard that you put a lot more
miles on that wheelchair than average. Para. 10
    Of course I do. Im an active worker, not a
vegetable. I live near downtown, so I can get
around in a wheelchair. I wonder what shed think
if she suddenly broke her hip and had to crawl to
work.
???
???
12
Back
Para. 11 Government cuts in welfare have
resulted in hunger and suffering for a lot of
people, not just me. But people with spinal cord
injuries felt the cuts in a unique way The
government stopped taking care of our chairs.
Each time mine broke down, lost a screw, needed a
new roller bearing, the brake wouldnt work,
etc., and I called Suzanne, I had to endure a
little lecture. Finally, shed say, Well, if I
can find time today, Ill call the medical
worker.
???
???
13
Back
Para. 12  She was supposed to notify the
medical worker, who would certify that there was
a problem. Then the medical worker called the
wheelchair repair companies to get the cheapest
bid. Then the medical worker alerted the main
welfare office at the state capital. They
considered the matter for days while I lay in
bed, unable to move. Finally, if I was lucky,
they called back and approved the repair.
???
???
14
Back
Para. 13 When welfare learned I was making
money on my cartoons, Suzanne started visiting
every fortnight instead of every two months. She
looked into every corner in search of unreported
appliances, or maids, or a roast pig in the oven,
or a new helicopter parked out back. She never
found anything, but there was always a thick pile
of forms to fill out at the end of each visit,
accounting for every penny.
???
???
15
Back
Para. 14 There is no provision in the law
for a gradual shift away from welfare. I am an
independent businessman, slowly building up my
market. Its impossible to jump off welfare and
suddenly be making two thousand dollars a month.
But I would love to be able to pay for some of my
living and not have to go through an embarrassing
situation every time I need a spare part for my
wheelchair.
???
???
16
Back
Para. 15 There needs to be a lawyer who can
act as a champion for the rights of welfare
clients, because the system so easily lends
itself to abuse by the welfare givers as well as
by the clients. Welfare sent Suzanne to look
around in my apartment the other day because the
chemist said I was using a larger than usual
amount of medical supplies. I was, indeed the
hole that has been surgically cut to drain urine
had changed size and the connection to my urine
bag was leaking.
???
???
17
Back
Para. 16 While she was taking notes, my
phone rang and Suzanne answered it. The caller
was a state senator, which scared Suzanne a
little. Would I sit on the governors committee
and try to do something about the thousands of
welfare clients who, like me, could earn part or
all of their own livings if they were allowed to
do so, one step at a time?    
???
???
18
Back
Para. 17   Hell, yes, I would! Someday people
like me will thrive under a new system that will
encourage them, not seek to convict them of
cheating. They will be free to develop their
talents without guilt or fearor just hold a
good, steady job.
???

Back
The passage explores the problems of the present
welfare system first and then expresses the
desire to have a new system. According to the
author, a disabled person with spinal cord
injuries, he is forced to account for every penny
while enduring lectures by the caseworkers. It is
hard to have his wheelchair repaired and even
harder to make a gradual shift away from welfare.
That is why he longs for a new system under which
the disabled like him can earn part or all of
their own livings.
20
Back
The passage is composed of three parts how
people behave under the present welfare system,
what the problems are with it, and what solutions
should be applied to the problems. The
organization of the whole passage goes after the
problem-solution pattern, spiced throughout with
examples taken from the authors own experiences.

Part One Paras. 1 - 3
Part Two Paras. 4 - 14
Part Three Paras. 15-17
Current situation describing
Problems with the system
Solutions to the problems
On one hand, most welfare clients cheat the
system for more money. Are there any examples
here? (Para.1)
Problem 1 Clients are forced to report anything
new to caseworkers. Is there any example here?
(Paras. 4 - 8)
Problem 2 It is difficult for clients to have
their wheel- chairs repaired. Is there any
example here?(Paras. 9 - 12)
Solution 1 There needs to be a lawyer to protect
the rights of clients. Example?(Para. 15)
Solution 2 The welfare system should help those
who are to earn their own livings. How?(Para. 16)
Problem 3 If clients make money, as the
authors own experience reveals, they have to
account for every penny.(Para. 13)
Problem 4 The law does not encourage clients to
make a gradual shift away from welfare.Evidence?
(Para.14)
Solution 3A new system is needed to encourage
clients to develop their talents without guilt.
(Para.17)
All the same, some like me have opted to live a
life of honesty. Are there any examples here?
(Para.2)
On the other, welfare case-workers, like
detectives, expect every client to beg. Why?
(Para.3)
22
Back
Main idea?
This part is about how people concerned behave
under the present welfare system Clients cheat
the system for more money while caseworkers, like
detectives, expect the clients to bow down to
them and beg.
Devices for developing it?
Deduction (???)
23
Back
I go out and drum up some business and draw
cartoons.
They tell the government that they are
getting two hundred dollars less than their
real pension so they can get a little extra
welfare money.
I even tell welfare how much I make!
If I want to get paid under the table, big
magazines are not going to get involved in some
sticky situation.
They tell the caseworker that the landlord
raised the rent by a hundred dollars.
??
24
Back
Main idea?
Several events are narrated to illustrate the
problems with the present welfare system welfare
caseworkers try to find anything unreported,
welfare clients have difficulties in obtaining
help, and the law does not encourage clients to
make a gradual shift away from welfare.
Devices for developing it?
Narration (???)
25
Back
Narration is used throughout the whole part to
tell the events as examples. For instance, the
account of the first event goes from Para. 4 to
Para. 8, with specific charactersSuzanne and I,
timenot long after Christmas last year, and
locationmy apartment.
??
26
Back
Main idea?
A lawyer is needed to act as a champion for the
rights of welfare clients. Besides, the author
wishes that the government would help clients
earn part or all of their livings. And, a new
system is desired to encourage them, rather than
seek to convict them of cheating.
Devices for developing it?
Exemplification (???)
27
Back
In Para. 15, for instance, the author gives his
argument in the first sentence, and then with the
event of medical supplies as an example to
support it.
