In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance feels that the problem with poverty is entitlement. People feel as though they deserve better jobs and better pay but people aren't willing to do the work necessary to keep the job. One example he gives is the job at a tile company. The manager has a hard time getting people to stay in the position because it is hard work. Another example is a woman was hired for a front desk position as a favor since she was pregnant. The position paid well and offered insurance benefits. However, the woman did not show up to work reliably and had to be laid off. He calls this the "social rot". It's the way it has always been, so it's the way it always will be. The people don't see the ability to better or change their circumstances even when it's available in their town.

Geoffrey Chaucer, the greatest English poet of the Middle ages wrote “The Pardoner’s Tale.” It is one of the tales from the collection of the Canterbury Tales which was written between 1387 and 1400.
The tale is in the genre of an extended exemplum. The moral of the tale is that "greed is the root of all evil."
The three young men who were also known as the rioters, overhear to the funeral procession and comes to know that one of their companions just died. And they plan to kill the death (assuming death as a person).
The term pratty means behaving insanely; arrogant means being rude and greedy means wanting more of something. The three men were defined by the following traits: Gluttony, gambling, and drunkenness and they eventually met their downfall due to this.
