Summary

Composition ||, Overall, this class helped me grow as both a reader and a writer. I learned how to look beneath the surface, how to research with intention, and how to recognize the quiet messages authors hide in their work. Symbols aren’t just literary devices they’re bridges between the writer’s mind and the reader’s imagination.

What I Learned from Worker Control in Venezuela: Rethinking Labor, Power, and Collective Work:
This week in my ethnographic class, we watched Worker Control in Venezuela, a documentary by Dario Azzellini and Oliver Ressler. The film focused on Venezuelan factory workers who chose to run their workplaces collectively instead of being controlled by private owners. Hearing the workers speak in their own words helped me understand the emotional, economic, and political stakes behind their decision.
