"My mind slides back to one of the "approve/disapprove" statements on the Wal-Mart survey: "There is room in every corporation for a nonconformist." But no,no,no! The correct answer, as we will all find out soon enough, is "totally disagree."
"Why, for example, am I supposed to leave her with my purse while she doesn't even trust me not to sprinkle some drug dissolving urine?But for all I know, any display of attitude might lead her to slant the results."
---- Barbara Ehrenreich experience when applying for a job, is to go through all the drug tests in order for the company to hire you, verify who you truly are and then they will start to believe in you. It is a "test" to the future employee who is willing to do a check up before they even get the job. They check everything you have done so they could feel "safe" and satisfied that they are not involved with someone who has done several incidents that has led them to go to possibly jail or arrested. Trustworthy is that main reason jobs look in you and are willing to overestimate you with all these tests.The drug testing is a requirement that everyone needs to do in order to be accepted in a job or you will be neglected.Barbara Ehrenreich used "pathos" the most because of how she feels when applying for a job drug testing needs to be done.She feels as if they want to know everything about you and make you doubt that you are hiding something from them.The one she used the least is "logic",because she doesn't use case studies to support her statements of how the necessity of doing drug testing is necessary to do when applying for a job and or how people feel when they do these certain types of tests.She probably wanted to avoid using "logic" because most of it take opinions not facts.Facts are simply true statements and opinions are just reasons.

"10) In Home Comforts:The Art and Science of Keeping House (Scribner,1999),Cheryl Mendelson writes,"Never ask hired house cleaners to clean your floors on their hands and knees;the request is likely to be regarded as degrading"(p.501)"
"So here I am on my knees,working my way around the room like some fanatical penitent crawling through the stations of the cross,when I realize that Mrs.W. is starting at me fixedly-so fixedly that I am gripped for a moment by the wild possibility that I may have once given a lecture at her alma mater..."
----Barbara Ehrenreich job as a maid was tough on her, because on how all the work she had to put in cleaning.Once she got in the job, the first thing she had to do was to forget all of her cleaning lesson tactics because it was what was most hated.She was instructed to look at some videos to demonstrate her "how" to do cleaning.The supplies that she was going to work with were going to be managed by using small proportions of water and to clean only what was visible(unclean parts) to the customer.Barbara Ehrenreich used "ethos" the most because she is saying her own version of story of how it is humiliating to do housecleaning on your bare knees.The necessity of placing yourself in those positions is not pleasing and is painful but mostly humiliating.The one she used the least is "logic", even though she used evidence, it was just a small part.What was most contributed was the use of telling a story of what happened and how she felt about it.The matter of using opinions is just uncountable but facts are what tell the matter of truth.

"7) In 1996 the number of persons holding two or more jobs averaged 7.8 million,or 62 percent of the workforce.It was about the same rate for men and for women(6.1 versus 6.2).About two-thirds of multiple jobholders work one job full-time and the other part time.Only a heroic minority-4 percent of men and 2 percent of women-work two full time jobs simultaneously(John F. Stinson Jr. "New Data on Multiple Job holding Available from the CPS,"Monthly Labor Review,March 1997)
"When I request permission to leave at about 3:30,another housekeeper warns me that no one has so far succeeded in combining housekeeping with serving at Jerry's:"Some kid did it once for five days, and you're no kid."
----Barbara Ehrenreich made the decision of working two shifts altogether, but didn't realize that it was going to be painful and stressing.She was going to go from Hearthside to Jerry's and that means changing from clothes to clothes. All the pain she was going to feel form all that handwork was going to kill her but had to manage it with some Advil's.She explains by using "logos" that through the research it is said how there is a certain percentage for both genders working two jobs.They either choose to have to full-time jobs or a full-time job and a part time job. According to the research the gender which has two jobs are women.Some reasons pop up in mind such as if they are single mothers,divorced or just alone.To maintain themselves or maybe others the necessity of money is mostly needed in order to move on.She used all of the ethos,pathos and logos, because she explained how it is tiring to have two jobs and provided as well evidence of how both genders work two jobs.She used all of them because she feels the same way as the rest of the people who have to jobs due to it is not an easy task to do and it is a way to earn some money.

"Equally draining is the effort to look both perky and complaint at the same time,for half an hour or more at a stretch,because while you need to evince "initiative,"you don't want to come across as someone who might initiate something like a union organizing drive."
"Then there is the threat of the drug tests,hanging over me like a fast-approaching SAT.It rankles-at some deep personal,physical level-to know that the many engaging qualities I believe I have to offer - friendliness,reliability,willingness to learn-can all be trumped by my pee."
----Barbara Ehrenreich was at a test during her first job and the first impression she was going to portray to her manager and to prove that she was a good option.No matter what you do everything has to be perfect or your image will be ruined and trust is gone.Nervousness is all that she has but has to hide it because every movement is being looked at.Effort is what they are looking in you, the effort to work hard, the effort to do what you are told to do without saying no and the effort of making the manager and the business to look good.Getting along with the ones you work are bonus points for you because no one will try to get you fired or in some trouble.Through the drug test you were passed and gotten a chance to get the job.But,as well it could be against you because they can possibly find something out of no where.She used mostly "pathos" of how her story may be similar to others first job experience.It is a connection to the audience that tells like yeah I have had that same similar experience, but mine was worse...It is that feeling that some people get on the first day and for them it is a test that they need to pass the first day or they fail.The one she used the least was "logos" because she did not use facts but opinions.Opinions are just responses unlike facts demonstrate the truth.

"Who,in real life,plops herself down in a totally strange environment-without housing,family connections,or job-and attempts to become a viable resident?Well,it turns out that my friend's aunt did exactly that in the early nineties..."
"I explain my mission in Minneapolis,although it turns out her niece has already briefed her,and ask her to tell me about her move to Florida ten years ago."
----Barbara Ehrenreich settlements were not always easy but hard because she had no acknowledgement of the place she was staying at.She even says that without a connection of a family member or friends its hard to even move around.Everything is new and you want to fit it but there is no one to help you in.As well,she gives an example of how her aunt's friend did the same thing and it wasn't easy.The project she is planning to achieve can also interfere with this, because at the same time she doesn't want to reveal her identity and be caught.Risks are terrible and can be sort of dangerous.Limitations to her personal life can't interfere and have to be reserved to herself.Barbara Ehrenreich used the most "ethos" to explain to the audience that feeling where you go somewhere knew, you feel that you don't fit in and need help to even move around.Without the help from someone you know everything is fine but if you are flying solo you are particularly doomed.The one she used the least was "logos" because truth speaks the facts and opinions don't have statements to prove everything right and exact.

"If you are constantly reminded of your lowly position in the social hierarchy,whether by individual managers or by a plethora of impersonal rules,you begin to accept that unfortunate status."
"...forced into a subordinate status withing their social systems adapt their brain chemistry accordingly,becoming "depressed" in human-like ways."
----Barbara Ehrenreich focused on how employees were seen by the people from above,managers and customers as low class.They were there to be demanded orders and to do them as they were told,because that's what they were there for,to serve the people.The employees had to accept what they were,the lowest class,because they are there to serve.The reason why was because that's what they applied for, to work and get paid to follow orders.In the second quote it proves that as employees accept their status in their job they get in some sort of depression due to how they are treated at work.The one she used the least was "logos" to demonstrate the cases of people of how employees get depressed by how they are treated.She used ethos and pathos to demonstrate the case in which she went through to demonstrate a connection with employees.
