Don't Buy Nike

                           
 The argument in this article is that the workers aren't getting treated fairly they don't get paid enough money to buy anything. In the article it says that the workers "make only 1.25. In order to buy anything they have to starve to make money" They have to live in an 8 by 8 house which is not really big. I think the workers need to get paid more money because the nike stores make to much money for the workers to only get paid $1.25. I wouldn't even pay a worker that if they work their behinds off every week. If i was their boss they would make $10 a hour . I learned that workers in Indonesia get paid minimum wage is only 1.25 for Indonesia but the workers in Illinois get paid less than minimum was. Minimum used to be $10. Now it's only $8.50 for minimum wage. I think that's why parent's aren't making that much 

money.

The argument in the poem is that when you work and work all day you're going to get tired because your doing the same thing every day. In the poem it says that " I work and work and work endlessly".  When I was reading the poem I thought it was different from the article I read because in the article to me it was mostly talking about how people only get paid $1.25. But in the poem it is mostly talking about how workers are always tired and they feel like machines because they get worked so hard. This form affected the understanding of the poem by the narrator kept on saying that he/or she was always tired in the poem it states that " The clock in the shop never rest". That meaning to me means that they never get a day off.
