My PWA Essay

Hello my name is Yoana Rodriguez. Today I'm going to write about the novel Kindred by Octavia Butler. What the novel Kindred showed how slavery resisted and how it's affecting us. "Slavery countinues in our society and in order to stop it, we need to have our own rights."

In my opinion I think slavery still keeps on going in our society. For example of this is that in Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua Mexico is an example of Economic Explotation, women are slaves because they don't get payed as good as they need to get payed, to include that sometimes they work for free.
Kevin and Dana  resisted slavery by helping the black people that were free and they will give them shelter, food etc.
 One connection that I have with this is when my uncles or anyone in my family had come from Mexico, what my parents do is that they helped them with food, clothes and help them in what my parents can, and while they have a job they can served their needs.
"If you wish to have what you want in life you must Focus on the Dream, if you focus on the pain and fear you will only want to scream!" by Rebecca J. Burns The Last Straw.
Now you understand that my theisis was correct "slavery continues in society & in order to stop it, we need to resist by speaking up for ourselves and we need to have our own rights."
What I think about this is that now what should happened now is that people would look for a full time job and/or move to another state or country and tell them you are a refugee and that you been abuse by your manager or any kind of person. they also can protest for females rights for women that work in "maquiladoras." my advice is to go to women's to have their right and to be respected as human beings as we are.
