In my book touching spirit bear there is a teenage boy named Cole. He is very independent in a bad way because he feeds off of other people's fear and anger. His parent are divorced which is probably making things worst for him. His dad is a good lawyer and he has got him out of most of the things that Cole has done. But one day he has finally pushed his luck and gets himself in a big pickle and his dad is letting him take the consequences. He is given 2 choices he can either go to prison or take this other thing called the circle of justice. His punishment will be to spend a full year in isolation. Cole thinks that he can escapes and attempts to but fails miserably He is attacked by a mythical white spirit bear and almost dies. That is where I left off.

I really enjoy reading this type of genre which is fiction. I like reading it because it is fun and it in some way relates to people. I have read books similar to this one. One of them is Hatchet by Gary Pulsen. These books are alike because both kids parents are getting divorced. They are also similar because books are about a teen boy that is in the wilderness alone. Except Touching Spirit Bear Cole is stuck on that island intentionally and as a punishment/rehab for his soul. In Hatchet Brian gets stuck do to an accident but is later saved.

Workers Rights Assessment

 The argument in the article was about how Nike garment workers are being mistreated and are working under unsafe conditions in factories over seas. I know this because in an article it said that 111 workers were killed in a factory fires. These fires were caused by unsafe working conditions and lack of safety inspections. This makes me feel like we live in a world like the hunger game except on a larger scale. The reason I say this is because in the hunger games there is 12 districts and the capital. I imagine the U.S to be the capitol and other third world countries are the different districts. This makes me feel bad because we watch that movie and probably think that we will never get to that point in society but yet we are already here and and we don't even know it.

The argument in the poem was that this woman was being over worked. I say this because the narrater said that she worked so hard she was starting to feel like a robot. The poem was different from the article because this shows the prospective of one worker. and in the article it was showing it like a narration. The meaning changed from the the thought that all sweatshop workers are zoned put during work but but this poem showed me that they dread every second of it.
