SweatShop Blog, 1,127 people die when a building collapses.

People in a rundown, meant to be abandoned, building work making cheaply poorly made cloths for little pay. They work long hours in heat, winter, snow though the year for very little money. Not even the amount needed to support their families. And tragically on a monday a building full of families working in this run down old build collapsed. 1,127 people die. Many hurt very badly. Kids, moms, dads. All died in these factories that they all had to work in to just make the amount needed to get by. One sad case of a person who was trapped under the building for 17 days. Heard the crys of people asking for water in their last hope in survival but she wondered why for no one was their to give it to them. They all starved to death. She was lucky, while she was down their on the first day she found a pack of biscuits. She ate them as soon as she found them. She also found a bottle of water which she used slowly over the few days till it was gone. will then she lived it out for about 13 days with no food nor water. She said she was surprised in how much determination she had to move on. While many of the others around her began to lose faint.


The poem The sweatShop, talks about a worker. He/She says that life in the shop, their is no life you have no mind of your own to think. Just work work work till your done go home and come back early and get little to no pay. No life no feels, just a machine.

Scope Blog- Call of duty

Call of duty I feel I can make a connection to a different story from a article we read last year. The article was both about two soldiers in the same state. They both got hurt by bombs one did get hurt worser. In the article Call of duty he got his leg blown off and that changed his life and put him in a well chair, while in the other article the guy had his entire body burnt to a crisp. A grenade went off next to a car. When it exploded the car set fire to everything around it. The person from the article I read today was hurt by a bomb under ground put and lost a leg. While both accidents are extremely bad and tragic they both made it out alive. Both life changing, both expiring stores. I believe the theme is to never give up no matter how hard to gets. Both moved on with their problems and lived on.

Book summary Number 2

I made a connection to stone fox in this book, they where both hard working dogs. Both where wild and both where ones sled dogs in their book.  A chapter I found interesting was the fight with the bull dog. Wight fang did what he could, he hit the dog over and over but the bull dog stood his ground and tired white fang out. Them when white fang was open he bit him close to the neck. White fang saw though the fight that his attacks didn't even move the dog any. Even with the cuts and blood all over he stood his ground waiting for the perfect chance to get him. Warring him down so when he gets the grip he could hold on easy with out much struggle.


The idea if this was first person would have made this part even more intense. He could tell of the struggle and effort he put in to try to take this dog down. He could talk of the pity and how he thought it was over when the dog got the skin on the side of his neck as the dog drew closer and closer. I also believe the conflict of this book is very dependent on the chapters. Their are many conflicts in this book. Their are a few I can point out but they wouldn't be no more important then the other that I'm not. Do one conflict that was defiantly strong in this book was the conflict of trying to live on. The struggle to survive.

White Fang-Book Summary

A part in the book I found interesting was when he was on a sled team, he was chosen to be the leader of the pack. And because of this he was hated by the other dogs. Brutally followed and ganged up on when ever their master was away and they had a chance to. White fang alway felt like running away in this chapter. And he would talk about the gods. He then would go on late in the chapter that the reason he hated these kind of dogs because he wasn’t one he was wild. Unlike them he was a wild dog still caring on while the others where real dog where their true nature and freeing of being wild gone. I felt this was a good part of the book, it showed his feeling for his kind.


POV

It is told from a third person point of view, it uses words like he, him, his. In the chapter I used from above he says this.
"He reveled in the vengeance he wreaked upon his kind" I also would have liked to have had this from first person. I think it would have been better to know the true feeling he felt. it would have made the book better maybe in my opinion.
