Bangladesh Factory



The argument of this article is that the managers and security guards put many workers lives at risk. In the article it says, "In 2012 a Bangladesh factory caught on fire, killing 112 workers. As the fire started to spread, the managers and security guards told workers it was part of a regular drill and it was too late to escape. Workers noticed gates were locked from outside." I think that, that wasn't a good thing to do because those workers worked hard for them to have their lives at risk as a return for the hard work. What was upsetting that I learned overall from reading this article, is that people don't appreciate the hard work people put in for them and would still do cruel things to them.


     The argument of this poem is that you lose yourself or hope working so hard in these sweatshops. In the poem it states, "My self is destroyed, I become a machine." The poem was different from the article because in the poem it provides up with visualization and feelings of the character. In the article it just gives us information about what happened and what people did but didn't express feelings. This did not form affect on my understanding of the poem.
