BLOG THREE!

Crossed
by Allie Condie

      While reading my book, "Crossed" I have come to realize how hard the choices they have to make. Cassia and Ky have finally found each other and have been together a few days now.They have stayed in the township with Indie, and Eli trying their hardest to survive and not get caught by Society. They notice a light in the township, finding Hunter one farmer who stayed because his daughter was ill and passed away. There group and Hunter make a trade that put them in risks because it alerted the Society of them because he broke something that set off an alarm. So then they have to go on their own ways to the Rising or with the farmers. 
    The plot of this book is slowly unveiling as you get deeper into it. Basically the plot is about the choices they have to make, Ky and Cassia, they love each other deeply but have different choices on one important topic. Where to go. Cassia wants to go to the Rising and Ky wants to go somewhere else. Indie finds a map leading to the Rising and shows Ky, Ky then attempts to burn the map but Cassia and Hunter arrive before he can do so. Cassia and Ky get into an argument on how Ky was about to take away a choice from her. I believe Ky will go with her because she went through so much to find him and he doesn't want to lose her again.

BLOG TWO!

   Crossed 
by Ally Condie

    So far in the book it has gotten to the intense parts. Both of the characters have been separated because the society intervened in their relationship an reclassified Ky as and "Anomaly" which means he is no longer a citizen in society. Ky was sent to work in the Outer Provinces where he was meant to be killed by the Enemy. Cassia was being sent to different locations until the day they starting taking girls from her group and reclassifying them as Anomalies as well she made her way into that group so she could find Ky. Ky had already escaped the group with two other people into the canyon so he could find the rebellion. They both somehow want to get together and want to be part of the rebellion.
       I feel like they're many genres for this book like one action/adventure and another romance. What I like about these genres is the action/adventure merges with the romance and it's very entertaining because you really want to know what will happen next. Personally I do not dislike anything about reading this genre. Most books I read do something with this genre and I prefer this. Most of these chapters have me biting my nails wanting to know what will be happening is Cassia and Ky will see each other soon!

Workers' Right Blog (Assessment)

      Assessment

    The argument given in the article I read was that where company owners were charged of homicide. The reason why they were charged of homicide is because a 112 workers were killed in a fire that destroyed the factory because they were being held back by their managers. I think this issue is incredulous and I can't believe people would could have prevented all those deaths just watched it happen. What was so upsetting is this didn't happen years ago it was just in 2012 and these were workers in an unsafe place and lost their lives.
     The argument of the poem "Sweatshop" was to show how much time of her life this job took to still have almost nothing no feelings, thoughts, or understanding because the worked consumed her. The worker said "I have no thoughts, feelings, or understanding" another example is "I don't know, I don't know!" meaning that she has become a part of her job. Also another example would be "It seems to me that the pendulum urges me: "Work, work, work a lot!” showing that that is all she seems to worry about. The poem was different then reading the article because it went more in depth and had more feeling in it you could almost feel the person's pain. I think the poem did affect the way I understood it because of how it was written you need read it more or slowly to understand what the person means.
