I Was A Warehouse Slave Mcclelland Summary

In “Labouring the Wal-Mart Way”, Deenu Parmar discusses Wal-Mart’s poor business practices and mistreating of their employees. Parmar is biased in that she focuses primarily on the negative aspects of Wal-Mart and discusses mostly from the employees’ point of view. The essay attempts to sway people to stop shopping at Wal-Mart because the author portrays it as unethical by focusing on the poor wages, anti-unionization, and paying off charges instead of properly addressing the laws being broken.

The essay title "Why I Love Shoplifting" is designed to immediately shock the reader.

The author complains that she lives as a wage slave, forced to work most of her life to pay for basic necessities while large companies make huge profits off of her labor. When she pays for something, she says she considers the exchange one of violence, rather than justice. Shoplifting 'levels' the playing field. The statement 'I love shoplifting' is an act of deliberate hyperbole to catch the reader's attention and hides a more serious message about the nature of modern capitalism, although the author's one-sided rhetorical style often causes the reader to raise objections to her thesis rather than nod in agreement.

The primary function of the American slave narrative in the eighteenth and nineteenth century was to garner the support of abolitionists and deconstruct the system of chattel slavery. Through authentic and personal accounts of slavery through the voice of those who endured slavery first hand, slave narratives served as proof to abolitionists of the corruption of slavery.
