Workers' Rights Reflection

People who worked for Coca Cola were sometimes threatened, kidnaped and even tortured if they were or even started a union for there rights. This is pretty much violating the human right number 14 because they weren't safe there especially since they were threatened and even killed. I was really surprised that Coca Cola would even do this why would they even think of threatening people. Its really upsetting that major companies like Coca Cola are doing this I wonder if other major companies might be doing the same thing like Coca Cola is.

In the poem "Sweatshop" it doesn't exactly say how they might be treated wrong it just says "I don’t know, I don’t know! I’m a machine!" while in the article it says "business affiliates of using paramilitary death squads to murder, torture, kidnap and threaten union leaders at the multinational soft drink manufacturer’s Colombian bottling plants." Coca Cola argument was about how they will stop threatening unions so it can be a safer environment for the workers. It affected on how to understand the meaning because in the article it gives examples on how they feel when they are working. So in the poem it says the feeling and by reading the article in our heads we will be thinking maybe thats how the workers felt or maybe this is happening to them.

"Dreamland" Blog

In the book Dreamland you can finally find out what the council does to the decision Riley made by intervening into a souls world when she wasn't because it wasn't assigned to her. The council didn't punish them because she was new at this instead they did congratulate her because she got a bunch of souls to cross the bridge. As a reward she got to have a break from soul catching so she can just relax in the Here and Now. Riley has a lot of fun spending time with her parents and grandparents she even learned how to surf, paint a landscape, and knit. She know that since the council saw she can handle convincing a hard task of getting a bunch of souls to cross the bridge then they would give her harder challenges.

I think my book is Science Fiction because its talking about stuff that could happen but isn't going to happen. The thing that I like about this book is that it isn't like a ordinary book that takes place on earth because this book takes place in Here and Now but also on the earths plane. I have read this type of genre before because of the other books in the series. I would like to read more types of book of this type of genre because it isn't just taking place on earth it can be taking place on somewhere else that we might have never even thought of.
