A Story

I have nothing to blog about so here's a story I'm coming up with as I go.  There once was a ogre named Jeffrey.  Jeffrey was a lonely ogre who went to ogre school with lots of other ogres and mythical creatures.  Jeffrey had no friends mostly because of his face.  His face was upside down and horrendously ugly.  His eyes were a mysterious black which struck fear into those around him.  He was nearly deaf and had bad sight but an amazing sense of smell.  One day he was walking about the hallways of his school to the bathroom to wash his shirt which one of the ogres had poured yougurt on.  He washed it off and when he got back to his classroom he saw that no one was there.  He was careful not to trip over anything as he searched the classroom.  When he got to the window he came across a faint smell like flowers and pizza.  He rushed out of the school, closed his eyes and followed the scent.  Crashing into several buildings he made his way to a wall he couldn't find his way around.  He opened his eyes and there stood a line of buses stretching as far as he could tell and each bus filled with pizza and ice cream.  When he ate the ice cream it repaired his sight and when he ate the pizza it repaired his hearing  Jeffrey was never sad again.

Apple

TOday in class we learned about the factory Foxconn in Shenzen, China, which is one of the largest producers of Apple products.  This factory in particular has a suprisingly high number of suicides, 17.  This is astonishing and many are shocked.  All of these deaths have been workers who jumped off the top of the building to their deaths so Foxconn's solution was to put nets on the sides of their building to catch falling workers.  Manyare angry about this but the company argues that their suicide rate is lower than the national average of China.  Many are also upset with Apple saying they know about the child labor and suicides that go on but do not care about them.  Apple says that they are taking the matter seriously and are attempting to limit the hours Foxconn can force onto their workers.
