Reread paragraphs 6 and 7.

I have met children in the sugarcane fields of Brazil who wield huge machetes close to their small limbs. The cane they cut sweetens the cereal on our kitchen tables each morning. They dream of easing the hunger pains in their stomachs.

Poverty is the biggest killer of children. More than 1.3 billion people—one-quarter of the world’s population—live in absolute poverty, struggling to survive on less than one dollar a day. Seventy percent of them are women and children. I dream of a day when people learn how to share, so that children do not have to die.

Why do you think Kielburger provides this kind of supporting evidence? What effect might he hope this information has on the reader? How effective is this information in supporting his controlling idea?

Kielburger provides this kind of supporting evidence to show us readers what he is talking about and gives us a image of what the kids go through. The effect he might hope this information has on the reader is care and giving. To help stop poverty and help provide food and other important products towards those in need. His information supporting his controlling idea is very effective because, who wouldn't want to help starving children, when one of those children could be there own.

Explanation:

yeah he is correct. Kielburger provides this evidence to show the affects that poverty has on children.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
