Summary Of Child Labour By Henry Divakaruni

1. Divakaruni’s purpose in this essay is to explain what is happening to children who are working in factories in third world counties when child labor laws were passed in the House. “They could be free and happy, like American children. (Divakaruni, par. 1) There is something unique totally to the situation of child work in outside countries than just "children need to stop working and be free" because of the way that they need to work to help themselves else they would not have the ability to survive. “I am not sure” (Divakaruni, par,2). Furthermore, the paragraph 2 makes it clear she can't help contradicting the House's answer and later on she explains it why.
2. Divakaruni’s thesis is stated in paragraph 8: “A bill like the one we’ve just passed is of no use unless it goes hand in hand with programs that will offer a new life to these newly released children.”
“Third World countries” (par. 1) are the developing countries of Asia, Latin America and Africa which includes as well capitalist Venezuela, communist North Korea, developed Saudi Arabia and underdeveloped countries.
4. Divakaruni implies that most Americans have just met their survival needs for "bread," as she puts it, and in this manner can manage the cost of the relative extravagance of looking for flexibility and different needs at the top of the pyramid (Divakaruni, par.5).
5. In paragraph 8, Divakaruni suggests some of the reasons that the children lack “food and clothing and medications,”and that are no schools for them, also their government can not provide these things and no one takes liability for them
