Question

How much money do you want? When I was your age, my grandfather used to tell me that he would go down to the store on the corner and buy a sandwich and an apple for five cents. Five cents! Can you imagine that? When I grew up here it cost two dollars to get a soda and turkey sandwich at that same store and now you’re asking me for 7 bucks!?”

identify one enduring issue that Adrian’s father discuses in the passage above. Why is that enduring issue significant to him?

Answer 1

Answer:

The enduring issue is the cost of things increasing over time.

Explanation:

The enduring issue is significant to Adrian because his grandfather used to be able to get a sandwich and apple for 5 cents. Adrian could get a soda and turkey sandwich for 2 bucks. The price for that is now 7 bucks, which is super overpriced. I wouldn't want to pay that amount for a soda and sandwich. It's simply unfair in my opinion.
