regardless of the industry they work for. Thus, this will promote a prosperous nation that works
together to ensure that everyone has a prosperous future (perkins, 2017).
Critique
To start with, I find the information presented by the author to be very relevant
especially to workers who are earning a minimum wage. He uses real-life examples to explain
and even gives his opinion why employees need to compensated an adequately. Secondly, the
writer's information seems not to be accurate because he does not support his article with facts.
He used his personal experience and opinions from friends to support his arguments. The author
talks about how the people he had spoken to feel that fast food workers should not earn more
than seven or eight dollars.
Throughout the story, Perkins tries to give us his different side of the argument from
what others think about minimum wages. The writer also presents his article in a simple and an
understanding English which gives the reader a quiet time to determine which side he is
supporting and his position. We can understand that the goal of the article was an advocate for
equality among all workers so that as a nation they can prosper together. However, I feel this
article was intended for millennial such college and high school students. I do not think the
employers and consumers would support the author's position.
