How to save for a baby


In the article "How to pay for a baby" by Kool A.D. Kool A.D uses a very informal vocabulary which is used to hide the fact that what he is talking about is not how to pay for a baby but he is using the article so that he can criticize society. He has used this language so that only an educated person would be able to understand what the article is about. The informal language he uses in the article mainly consists of swearing yet he writes some parts of tthe article as if he was talking to young children as he explains what money is for even though it would not be an article that a kid would read. In the article, he also does not talk about the main reason for the article which is "How to pay for a baby."
