In the world today things have majorly and severely changed. On the one hand we no longer have slavery, but on the other there is another type of slavery going on in cooperate businesses. In these two essays I chose and plan to tell you about the oppression in “Caged Bird” (Angelou, M.) and the oppression in “Life Under the Chief Doublespeak officer” (Lutz, W.) which he shows with the firing of people.

(Lutz, W.) makes me feel that the corporate world is becoming nothing but slavery now. Whereas, (Angelou, M.) is
