In “The Bean Eaters”‚ with its clear theme of poverty using terms like “plain” and “casual”‚ a lot of symbolism is used. When I first heard about the poem when I was writing my autobiography and reading about “myself” I my mind automatically brought me to visions of my childhood growing up near a rough neighborhood in West Orange‚ New Jersey. The living conditions in which those people lived resemble the conditions that Gwendolyn Brooks is talking about in the poem. And as she talks about these people’s’

The Labor Union Movement in America The roots of our country’s trade unions extend deep into the early history of America. Several of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1620 were working craftsmen. Captain John Smith‚ who led the ill-fated settlement in 1607 on Virginia’s James River‚ pleaded with his sponsors in London to send him more craftsmen and working people.

Trade unions are organisations that represent people at work. Their purpose is to protect and improve people’s pay and conditions of employment. They also campaign for laws and policies which will benefit working people.

The poem ‘’The Lotus-Eaters’’ (NA II‚ 1119) by Alfred Tennyson is based on a short episode from the Greek myth Odyssey in which Odysseus and his marines get to the island of the Lotus-eaters.

many workplace issues are easily resolved without union intervention. Federal regulations now govern minimum wages‚ work hours‚ safety and health‚ discrimination and other issues.

Today‚ the influence of the unions and the labor movement are still there but not as
