Old Workers

The age of retirement varies for everybody and people need to stay in the workforce because they need the money. They might have nobody to turn to and they are poor, so they must continue to work at an old age. It may seem they run out of uselessness at an old age and that is true for laboring jobs, but it is not true for others. I work in a gift shop at Kings Island as a part time job and one of my co-workers, Al who is 76 years old. He was one of the best on the sales floor because he was always able to strike up a conversation with anyone. Manual labor puts older men and women out of work seen in of Mice and Men “They’ll can me purty soon. Jus’ as soon as I can’t swamp out no bunkhouses they’ll put me on the county.”(John Steinbeck pg. 60) As soon as Candy can’t work anymore he will be fired and that will be the end of him. I don’t think they should be helped with their jobs because in our current society than can get a job which is capable of doing at an old age.

      "The golden splendor of day / the sable pride of night" (Cullens 3-4)These are clearly two different things. The day has the sun and life everywhere. The night brings the moon and cooler weather. day and night are polar opposites, but they really are not very different. Day right now is night somewhere else. Even though doesn't look like night it still is.”Oblivious to look and word / They pass, and see no wonder.” (Cullens 9-10) These boys can’t see the difference between night and day. When people make fun of one of them being black or white, they are oblivious to this because they don’t see any difference with each other. I wonder how these boys don’t see anything different about them? I probably forgot these are great people.This is what the Harlem Renaissance taught us, that people are people no matter their skin color.
