    Isaac Harris and the Triangle Factory Fire Isaac Harris was one of the owners of the triangle factory building, the one that caught fire in 1911. Nobody really knows who started the fire but harris didn't get charged for murder. Should he have been charged? Maybe Harris was not the one that started the fire, Despite the fact that he owned the building, doesn't mean the fire was his fault. If there was more safety laws included and more interaction with each other and trying to escape and stop the fire, the fire could've been easily prevented or stopped before causing the death of many young women that worked there.

    “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them and do nothing.” Evil is an unpleasant, wicked, or mean act(s) with some form of negativity. Burke ’s quote is very accurate because if evil is present it wont stop or be changed until something good comes forth or has an effect on it. Through Vahans trials in Forgotten Fire, Paul’s bravery in Hotel Rwanda, A priest standing up for a social community, and two of the columbine victims and a reporter standing up to a big corporation they will show that evil wont prevail if good confronts it.

    In preparation for this paper I chose to read Fire in the ashes: twenty five years among the poorest children in America by Jonathan Kozol. In this book Kozol has followed these children and their family’s lives for the past twenty five years. In his writing Kozol portrays a point of view most from his background and standing would not be capable of having. He portrays what life is like for those who have been let down by the system that was meant to protect them. Kozols writing style can be very blunt at times, not for shock value, but for the sake of portraying these children’s realities, and not sugarcoating the inequalities that they are faced with.
