Bangladesh Factory owners surrender



The argument in this article was that 112 factory workers died because the factory in Bangladesh caught on fire.  The evidence they backed up was that they lacked emergency exits and other safety measures.  I think that this issue is because the factory owners where cruel with the factory workers.  Something that i learned that was surprising is that 112 factory workers died because of a fire in the factory of Bangladesh.  A interesting thing that i found was that the owners of the factory got arrested and then set free.  

The argument in the poem is that he works to much.  The evidence for that is "My self is destroyed, I become a machine.  I work and work endlessly, I create and create".  Reading this poem is different from reading the article why? because in the poem you feel like if its you working all that time it feels so real.  In the article it just feels like if someone is telling you what happened.  What a poem has that a article don't is that in a article you don't have a person talking to you and in a poem you do.  The investigation found that when the fire broke out managers and security guards told the workers that it was part of a normal drill.

Fans were in war zone.  There was angry mobs running down the streets hurling with the rocks and breaking storefronts.  Policed fired with rubber bullets and shot tear gas into the mob.  Frighten parents took their child's into protection. 11.5 million of people watched the super bowl.  13.9 million people followed Lebron James on twitter.  Being a big fan can actually make you a happier person and healthier person.  Many fans are extremely devoted to their teams.

Last Shot Blog

The book Last Shot by John Feinstein is a good book for people that like basketball.  This book is one of the best basketball books there is well in my opinion.  This book is like many other kids that like basketball.  Basketball is like a dream come true to him.  In this book his dream comes to a ugly twist when the MSU's coach tells their star point guard they better lose the final game or else blackmail.

When they are in the game Steven Thomas shots a last second tree-pointer and makes it.  That was how they made it to the final.  You would come addicted to this book.
