Brianna Calamusa "Factory Girl" by Lois Leveen



Just Like Camila I couldn't chose just 1 photo. I picked the Image of Dora The Explorer because the article flat out talks about her, her helpful friend Boots (the monkey) and the stars that they catch along their adventures. For the most part this article was a little more difficult for me to understand...atleast until the end. But what I got from it was that there is a major problem with factory contaminations. This effects not only the products being exported from the factory but the people that work there too. Along with them, their families are also effected. The article talked about how most of the workers are either undocumented immigrants (im pretty sure) or hispanic workers, if not foreign. This relates to Dora in two ways: she too is hispanic and just like the unsafe products leaving the factory, there was a recall on Dora the Explorer toys for having a unsafe chemical in them. So that's pretty much what I got from this article but I'm sure there is way more you can take from reading it.
