bartleby

All of this week we have been talking about this crazy guy named Bartleby. Basically this is a story about a law copier. The cool thing we talked about was how he could be related to real life. by the way this is a short story by Herman Melville. I recommend that all of you read this reading and see if what you think about what is going on. This is because he has this clever man who in the time of the industrial revolution goes against the system of a,if you will, a machine. So when he gets hired into this new place he works really hard and then starts slacking off and says his famous line,"i would prefer not to". This is really weird because if we were to do this to our managers today we wouldn't have a job. More thoughts next week.
