Blah, Blah, Blah ...

Levine's poem introduces the reader to the issues at many of today's jobs. They are alienating their workers. Turning them into machines without feelings. Programing them that there is nothing beyond this job. Trying to make itself superior to anyone. Making them forget about anything in the "outside" world.

Many employers take advantage of their workers. They require too much from the employees. The labor follows these orders and gets frustrated too much. Work is becoming too much of a burden. Spending too much time at work pulls the worker further away from his social life. Slowly forgetting about the friends and family. They loose all of their motivation and begin to see no point in what they do. This leads to unhappiness, and carelessness. But they do it, because they have to survive.

This poem brings the feeling of sadness, and boredom that work is bringing upon people. Almost making me think that there is nothing in life that brings joy, only sorrow.

I'm above all...NoooT!!!

When I was growing up in Poland, my family would be described as the lower middle class. We were doing fine but there was always something missing. The reason for this might be that my parents were trying to save money. They had debts to pay for the house they were building (it's big house) and so a lot of the income went into the bank. I actually feel that my previous economic status gives me more hunger for success. I want to be better of economically than my parents, I think everyone has that dream.

Now, here in the U.S. my family is more like the middle class. Nothing essential is missing in our household. As always my parent continue to save as much money as possible but that doesn't put us in a bad economic situation. There is always money for something extra. If I compare the life over here to that life in Poland, I'd say it's better over here. But it's not like I wasn't happy over there because i was. My dream is to go back and live over there anyway.

Seeing how my parents struggled in the beginning and how much money they tried to save, made me respect the "value of money." I learned how to respect every job that is out there, believing that every job has a part in making someone a better person.

I'm out of ideas. Cya...
