The Big Bad Wolf?

Barbara Ehrenreich, the writer of, Wal-Martian Invasion, uses her article to express how she believes Wal-Mart exhibits a great deal of inequality to their workers. When researching this article, I found that Ms. Ehrenreich is very interested in socio- economic differences, and puts forth a great effort to help those that suffer from inequality throughout America. I also found, that she uses this as a career to uphold her comfortable lifestyle. To write this particular article, Barbara Ehrenreich took three weeks and worked as a Wal-Mart employee to see how a person living on Wal-Mart’s wages survives. Due to her interest in socio-economic differences, I feel that this article is biased and that Ms. Eehrenreich went to work at Wal-Mart in an attempt to find something wrong, and for information to write her book. It is my belief that this article was written in attempt to attract the American audience, so that they gain a certain sympathy towards Wal-Mart employees. Since many Americans use Wal-Mart as their source of groceries, and other home items, this article appeals to many U.S citizens and causes you to feel as though Wal-Mart is “the big bad wolf”. It is my personal belief that this article was written in attempts to help Wal-Mart employees, but in fact may be more of a hurt, than a help to them.
