In the article “In the Name of Love,” Miya Tokumitsu covers the issue that doing what you love (DWYL) gives false hope to the working class. Tokumitsu reviews how those who are given jobs ultimately cannot truly love what they do because of the employers who make jobs possible. These same employers keep their employees overlooked. Providing the example of Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple, she says the people who work under Jobs break their backs at factories, yet he never credits the workers’ efforts to his overall success. Tokumitsu points out that the DWYL mantra is narcissistic for those who are overpaid for less labor, while those tricked into believing they love their job are less valued for the overall

Imagine losing everything you had, your house, your dad, and all your possessions all of that at the age of 12. Ghastly isn’t it? Well in the story, Esperanza Rising by: Pam Munoz Ryan, Esperanza had to go through all that and shift to America during the Great Depression, and even if you don’t know what that is, you probably know by the looks of it that it is not the most marvelous thing.

Throughout her essay, Ehrenreich continuously builds her focus with pathos in her use of parenthesis. Parenthesis is a form of hyperbaton that inserts whole words, phrases or sentences that function as an aside. With her use of parenthesis, she further clarifies and inserts her thoughts about the different aspects about her job. She criticizes how “Managers can sit--for hours at a time if they want” (pg 130). She wonders how many calories she burns doing the menial work she does to keep busy (pg 130). She uses these parenthesis to interject her thoughts and explanations about her coworkers and her time on the job. In the parenthesis, she clarifies a point, interject the own thoughts or to add supporting detail. Ehrenreich does this to help her strengthen her appeal to emotion by inserting different, relatable opinions others may have about their own occupancies. In

Gender roles play an important role in A Raisin in the Sun. During the time A Raisin in the Sun was written the idea of set in stone positions in a household and society were common. Women were supposed to do house jobs, keep their mouths shut, and support their husbands’ decisions and men were seen as the headman or boss. A Raisin in the Sun shows readers a window into the world where those gender roles have a twist on them.

While these facts seem to burn within Art and Mala and cause them much grievance towards him we, as third party observes, tend to have much more patience and understand for Vladek. He has undergone so much abuse and betrayal that it is simply natural for him to have so much reservation towards others. While he loves Art very much and maybe even Mala deep down, he has had to overcome so much that he has lost sight of what these struggles have brought him today. In one novel, written by Katarzyna Prot, a fellow Holocaust survivor named Oliver says:

Domestica: Immigrant Workers Cleaning and Caring in the Shadows of Affluence is a powerful book by Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, that exposes the everyday realities of undocumented female workers in Los Angeles, California. The purpose of this book is to challenge the reader to shape domestic policies that will bring basic principles of human rights and social justice into this invisible realm of domestic labor. Although domestic labor is clearly visible, this type of employment is treated as invisible because the employers refuse to view themselves as people that are hiring individuals to clean their homes. In addition, the employees being hired refuse to acknowledge domestic labor as a job because through patriarchal ideology house cleaning is attached to women, thus they view it as a type of hobby. By challenging the state of thought that patriarchy has produced, women will view domestic labor as what it truly is. A job, and thereby demand the recognition, respect and benefits which are owed to them.

In the book Breadgivers there seems to be an issue on how women are looked upon in the society. It is very interesting how Reb Smolinsky, the father, viewed women and their roles in not only in the society but in the family. Sara Smolinsky, the main character, struggles as a female in her family and society on many different levels. Information from chapter 18 of Documents for America’s History and information in chapter 18 of Give Me Liberty will help support my claims.

Women have struggled throughout the era of the 1970’s to gain equal rights to men. Marilyn being a woman in the era has brought her to make limited choices than she would in today’s date. However, women were just gaining the right to do what men can do but still were limited. But for most men and women, men were still superior. Women nowadays are equal to men or sometimes a tad better. Today women can be become a doctor or a plumper with no hesitant thoughts. They don’t have to worry about being judged that a women isn’t smart enough or good enough for a man’s job. Admittedly, in the 1970’s women overall carry a different stand than women today.

For many, we take great advantage of our lives. We are able to walk or drive to a nearby store, grab a carton of milk for two dollars, and drive home within an hour. For others, they do not get such a luxury. We can see these hardships through photographs taken by Jennifer Natalie Fish. She has spent most of her life, twenty-five years to be exact, photographing the lives of many domestic workers and how they live their life every day. As Jennifer explains, a domestic worker is someone who, “care for households, children, and elders throughout the global economy.” (Fish) A large population in the world are considered domestic workers. According to the International Labor Union, there are an estimated fifty-two million domestic workers living in the world. (ILO) So why is that a group with numbers so large which could be considered a country have almost no rights, are considered undervalued, and live such hard lives? The photos that Jennifer Natalie Fish took were created to show support for the fight for more rights directed to domestic workers around the globe. Her photos shed light on what it is like to be a domestic worker and the hardships that some face in order to survive.

On January 11th, 1912, things changed for the textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The company owners had suddenly reduced all their employee’s weekly pay by 32 cents to match the previous hourly reduction. The Bread & Roses Centennial Exhibit stated, “that difference in wages amounted to several loaves of bread a week.” Not only were there wages cut but the workers also experienced inhuman working and living conditions. According to Norm Diamond (2012), the “workers lived in fetid, crowed tenements. Working nine- and ten-hour days, six days a week, their main meal was usually little more than bread and molasses.” … “Life expectancy for mill workers was 22 years less than for non-mill worker residents of Lawrence.” These were the main issues that resulted in more than 20,000 textile immigrant workers striking. (L. Fernandez, 2014) The 1912 “Bread and Roses” strike was led by the industrial mill- textile workers of Everett Mill in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The woolen mills of Lawrence mostly employed young girls. Moreover, the mill in Lawrence, Massachusetts was made up of a very diverse workforce, according to Vapnek (2015) “the strike was notable for its ethnic diversity: workers of

“The Horse Dealer’s Daughter” by D.H. Lawrence describes the life of Mabel and her current situation after the passing of her father.
