Poem and Article


In this article, Bangladesh rescue operation near end; collapse death toll at 1127, the argument is that disasters like buildings burning keep happening. I know this because in the article is says "Bangladesh has been plagued by fires and collapses of sweatshop-type factories that supply large U.S. and European retail chain." I think people shouldn't be working in these kinda shops. Make the building more safer so the workers can have a better environment. Let the workers leave when needed. To save their own lives. In this article knowing that three managers kept the workers from leaving the burning building was kinda upsetting. What did they even want them to do? There was no point in keeping them there if everything was burning.


In the poem the argument is that these workers have no rest, they get tired out, and it happens everyday. I know this because it says " The clock in the shop never rests." "But suddenly the whistle, the 'boss' sounds the alarm! I lose my mind, I forget who I am" Throughout the whole story its the same thing, saying how they're a machine. The poem is different from the article because in the poem its from a persons point of view and the article shows facts that happened. In the poem it affects how I feel because it shows their feelings but in the article I understood what had happened with the buildings.
