Sweatshops

 The argument in the article is that people should never buy Nike products. The people behind Nike are people who make the products. The people who make the shirts, shoes, and socks don't make much money as the people who have regular jobs. The issue is the conditions, have a 5 minute break, money issue, food supply, paying apartment rent, and etc. The worst parts about working is the time period, 18 hours a day and it’s not following the human/ workers rights!


  The argument in the poem is the working conditions in a sweatshop in first person view. The thoughts and feeling of this person. Like she/he forgets everything but her/his working tasks. An example in the poem, “ I have no feeling, no thoughts, no understanding.” The article and the poem are different by the point of view. The poem is first person because it says, “I” ,  “me” and etc. It felt like you were there working in a sweatshop. I feel sad about learning this but, it made me more interested to read more about this topic.
