The description of the setting in this chapter is very different from the previous one, but also very similar in other ways. It is different because the mood is generally more threatening and ominous, but also because our vision of the characters in it is different, and we have fears, hopes and general suspense coming from the previous chapters, while in the first description it was a completely new setting. It is much more ominous because small bits of the description make a fundamental difference. For example, there is the snake gliding smoothly on the pool surface, only to be eaten by a silent heron. There is also the presence of wings, which puts everything in motion and can be quite creepy sometimes at night when suddenly it goes away. There is an uneasy stillness and Lennie is also much more preoccupied and sad. This chapter is also very similar to the first however, because it is in the same location, at the same time (sunset), and with the same characters. Even the same words are repeated and the dream is a central point of discussion.…

It is hard to believe that in the twenty first century, slavery still exists especially here at home and right under our noses. This has been an ongoing problem since the nineteenth century. A lot of people were trafficked into the United States and sold as slaves. Back then there were no laws that stated that it was illegal to traffic human beings and turn them into slaves.…

The world has yet to eradicate one of the largest criminal rings and illegal profit makers in the world. Human trafficking, an act defined as “taking someone by force, coercion, or fraud, for purpose of commercial sex or slave labor,” is an insidious violation of human rights, while also being an extreme breach in the law, involving abduction, rape, imprisonment, physical violence, blackmail, and drugs, to say the least. It’s an international problem, as well as a problem within nations, even those considered free. Human trafficking is proof that slavery still exists, and needs to be stopped at all costs. The illegal money that it circulates, the psychological and physical damage it causes, and the social issues that arise from it are just…

I think that the phrase “human trafficking” does not explain how terrible it actually is. I think the phrase modern day slavery is a way better way to capture what happens. Women and children are sold to someone in another country and are drugged up so they can't resist and they just lay there and are violated. Sometimes never to be saved or…
Human trafficking has been around for the same amount of time as inequality among people; so basically, all of human history. People are bought and sold, and treated and traded like objects. This has always been part of our society, however dominate. Slavery, prostitution, illegal aliens - all of these things have roots in human trafficking. Since ancient Egypt, when thousands of Hebrews were forced build the pyramids, to present day Italy where hundreds of women are forced to submit their bodies every day. We are thankfully becoming less and less tolerant of this cruel practice in the modern world. Yet, because our tendency to look the other way, to pretend to not know the truth, hundreds upon thousands of people are still being trafficked every year, some right under our nose here in America. We’ve created anti-trafficking laws, passports, citizenship papers, as well as heightened border patrols and increased airport security.
