what is work?
What Levine is saying in his poem that one don't know what work is or never done it. In Barbra Ehrienrich's book also show that others may not know about others work, because they never done it. In her experiment she learned about the work others done that she never did. In the Terkel's book Working, he interveiwed people of different work and learned about there experiences. I agree with what Levine's poem is say about work. I can't judge another persons work if it is not my work. I can't say some have a low status job because he is a janitor or say someone has a high status job because he is a police officer. The janitor might be making more money then the police officer, now who have more status? Bottom line you can't judge a book by the cover.

Great why of explaining what you thought about the poem and book. But what you said is kind of confusing but I dont think Levins poem was really about judgeing people and their jobs. Terkels book was about describing different jobs and how they feel about it. but awesome post none the less.
