The author, Andrew Braaksma, wrote "Some lessons from the Assembly Line." Working in the factory was somewhat of a life changing event for Andrew. In his article, he mentions work conditions, how his fellow employees felt and what he learned while attending school during his employment at the factory.
Andrew’s goal was to go into detail of how poor the conditions were at the factory. He spoke of the “sweltering production floor”. This made me feel as if I were in his shoes, standing next to the assembly line. He also added experiences from his co-workers that made it more valid.
