Susie Bayer's T Shirt
The observations that George Parker must have made for his essay paying particular attention to the sensory descriptions are how people all over Africa are wearing the used clothes that Americans once wore but don't want anymore. People gives their clothes to charity not so much to help others but to help themselves so they can write off taxes at the end of the year. It is amazing to see the condition of the clothes that people give to charity. Some of the clothes that are exported to Africa has stains, never washed and are even rejected. They are described as the good, bad, and the ugly because some of it is so disgusting that you won't want to talk about it.Even though some of the clothes was not in good condition, people in Africa were very happy because some of them will go naked whereas for others it was their only means to put quality clothing on their body. The prices of the used clothes were very expensive. The merchant were over charging the people because they wanted to make money.One customer complained you are killing me. Even though the clothes were used, some of the customers were very picky and they would fight to get the first pick.The women's clothing could not be mixed with the men's garments.The observations and descriptions helped George Parker make his point because he gives clear and detailed information of the kind of clothing that were exported to Africa. It shows that some people are not thoughtful when it comes to others, they thinks about themselves and making money. They can be selfish, greedy, and unfair. Some people can't afford new stuff and have to content with used or hand down things. George Parker point is to show how people in the world can be so unfair to others.
