“Where Sweatshops Are a Dream’’ by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York times on January 15, 2009 is an emotional ride along that carry you though the need for sweatshops.
Like when Kristof said a mother hope her son grows up and get a job at a factory because she seen other children run over by garbage trucks, as well as say her boy never been to a doctor or dentist and the last time he had a bath he was 2 so a sweatshops jobs in comparison there are far more pleasant and less dangerous. The writer even talks about how sweatshop soared the living standards of his wife ancestral village in southern china. I’m pro for sweatshops the living condition that some people live in are just unbelieve, if a sweatshop can get people in a better environment why not take the opportunity with both hands and run with it. Manufacturing can give jobs to millions yet it not going to the poorest nation but the better off ones like Kristof said living wages have a large impact on production cost so companies push to operate more in capital-intensive than labor-intensive. If the companies where putting the factories in a better location it could help with economy.
I know a lot of Americans hate the idea of a sweatshop but would you want little Johnny day after day look though trash just to get paid less than a dollar for work.

  1. You did a good job presenting the author, title, and main idea. you need to identify authors purpose for writing and point out authors weaknesses and rebuttals and comment on his organization style... you did a good job at the end when you commented on the authors concluding statement but just need a more in depth explanation. overall I rank you under a level two, for pointing out his introduction and concluding statement. you did mention some of the points within an Analysis. Goodwork on trying to better your rhetorical Analysis.
