The Gadget Summary

So far in my book really weird stuff is happening. The main character in my book is a boy named Stephen. His dad is one of the best scientist in the United States. His dad and other scientist are trying to make a weapon that will end Hitlers army and win the war.  He was living in London but since Germany bombed London, Stephen mom sent him to the U.S. where his dad is living. His dad is living in a town filled with soldiers and scientist. Stephen make a new best friend called Alaie . The scientist are building a top secret device. Stephen and Alaie have to find out what this big secret thing is about. They go through series of obstacles to find out information.

The Plot is the favorite part of the book for me because Stephen goes to a field trip and gets kidnapped by guys disguise by nuns. He kicks and screams but the sound of bands are so loud. He manages to escape but the nuns keep chasing him. I can predict that Stephen will not be captured, he will be saved by someone.

Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike Article & The Sweatshop Poem


The article I read was a fair treatment of the workers in Nike factories. They are trying to fight for their rights because they are being treated unfairly. Nike was paying the workers $1.25 a day. These wages fail to provide the basic necessities of life of Indonesian workers. Also the bosses in the factories torture and abuse the workers. They kick them, slap them and throw stuff at them. I think they should do something about it and the workers should stand up for them. This article was upsetting because it shows that people take advantages of other people and make them work in the the hot sun and fumes.


The poem was about a girl that was working for many hours in a sweatshop. In the poem it states that the girl feels like a machine that never stops and just keeps working and working. Also she says she feels like a slave. The article talks about a workers perspective in a sweatshop. It shows how people are being treated in sweatshop. It makes me also sad because the girls says she feels like a machine and a slave.
