“Maid to Order” response

This article was really well written. While it appealed to logos, it didn’t overburden the reader with information. It appealed to ethos because the reader is allowed to view the character of the different class structures in the United States.

“Maid to Order”

As we discussed in class, this reading definitely had a lot of facts mixed with the author’s own experiences.  Because of the personal feel to the story and the use of first person narration, Barbara Ehrenreich’s work was easier to read and better to follow than “Corporate….”

And now for something completely unrelated

I found the latest wo readings to be a very stark change of pace, I’m fairly certain that i tripped when I started reading it because they are very unlike all the other readings we’ve done. I didn’t know how to repond to them for the longest time, but our class discussion on Thursday cured [...]
