Regina Borgenicht's Summary

After getting home, Gussie offers Rose a job at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Rose accepts the offer and begins to practice on pieces of fabric that Gussie’s boyfriend smuggles when leaving the factory. On the way to the job on her first day, Gussie tells Rose that “at eight o 'clock sharp they lock the doors to the factory.” On Rose’s first day, she stabs her finger with the sewing machine. Gussie helps Rose pull out the thread, as Rose gets back to work.

She alerted Woodhull by what laundry she hung on her clothes line: a black petticoat for his arrival and several handkerchiefs to specify which of the coves Brewster was hidden in. Taking part in such an activity had severe consequences, and Anna Strong was well aware of this fact. That’s what makes her so courageous. She was born on April 14, 1740 in Long Island, New York. Ironically, she grew up in a family of Tories.

The play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry debuted on Broadway in 1959, and the movie was made in 2008. “A Raisin in the Sun” is about the Younger family, the fifth generation of lower-class African-Americans living in Chicago’s Southside. They are faced with problems such as racial discrimination, poverty, and conflicting dreams. As the family decides on how to spend the insurance check of $10,000 from Walter’s father’s death, these problems cause many conflicts to rise. Reading the 1959 play and the 2008 movie, I have realized certain similarities and differences in how the story plays out.

Similarly, one of the themes of “A Raisin in The Sun” is racial discrimination and the need to fight racial discrimination. In the play, the theme of racial prejudice and racial discrimination is mostly delivered through the character of Mr. Karl Lindner. Mr. Lindner is a member of the governing body of the neighborhood in which the Younger family is looking to live, once they purchase their new house. The neighborhood in which the Youngers are to live is called Clybourne Park and Mr. Lindner is a member of the Clybourne Park Improvement Association. Mr. Lindner begins by introducing himself to the family in their apartment and the meeting begins as if it were a cordial welcoming meeting, however, it very quickly turns into anything but cordial and welcoming.

One reason this book should not be banned from schools is how it teaches mature students how hard things were during the Great Depression for adults. This is clear towards the beginning of the book when Steinbeck talks about getting work cards. On page five, George expresses how hard things are for them when he asks Lennie to remember things from the past. “You remember about us goin’ into Murray and Ready’s, and they give us work cards?”

Lorine Niedecker’s poem “Poet’s Work” definitely engages in issues about laboring and working class tragedies, such as being fired. For example, she begins the poem by saying that her grandfather told her that she must “learn a trade” to make a living for herself (Niedecker, 3). This is a time when women have begun working, so her grandfather wants her to learn a marketable skill in order to survive. In the second stanza, the speaker begins to explain that since she must learn how to do something, she decided to sit at her desk and learn how to “condense” (Niedecker, 6).

Throughout the majority of the play, Walter wants to change the way they live and constantly tries convincing his mother to use the insurance money to start a liquor store. I chose this excerpt because I thought it was interesting how Hansberry chose to use Walter having the same breakfast as him trying to express there not being change around the apartment. This connects to the U.S history packet when it talked about the African Americans headed off to war and being treated better out there than back at home, and then when they got home they wanted home. Near the end of the play on page 148 when Walter has to decide if the family keeps the house or receives the money he says this to Lindner: Walter.

It was her Uncle Al’s birthday party and beth needed to get pants. When Beth got to the mall she walked by Madge P. Groton the stocky, ugly security guard. Beth started to try on pants when she went to get another size and that when the trouble started. When she went to look for pants the security guard thought she was stealing and called the cops. When the cops arrested her she said she had evidence to show the cop that she didn´t steal.

These differences leave Baba perpetually frustrated. In small ways, he continues trying to reclaim his life in Kabul, like when he buys everyone drinks the night of Amir’s graduation. Mousumi Paul maintains that Amir after having reached to America “evolves over the course of the novel” in an attempt to assimilate in “newly-adopted” culture to rediscover his identity and “the modern West American and Traditional

The movie “Get Out,” focuses on the budding, yet cynical relationship, between Rose Armitage, her family, and her boyfriend, Chris Washington. The Armitage’s are an upper class, white, educated family, that come from a different class system than Chris. Chris’s mother passed away as a child, and he is a black photographer living in urban Chicago. It’s clearly apparent throughout the movie that Chris grew up differently than the cookie cutter, white, Armitage’s. As the movie begins, Rose is prepping Chris about her family as he is packing for their journey to her house.

While substitute teaching at a school in New York, Gertrude began working on her advanced degree at New York University graduating in 1941 and then took night classes at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. Unfortunately Gertrude was unable to complete her PhD as a part-time student and made and critical decision to quit school never finishing her PhD. In the biochemist later years, she was awarded an honorary PhD from Polytechnic University from New York in 1989 and an honorary SD degree from Harvard in 1999. Gertrude was an American biochemist and pharmacologist who wanted to make a difference in the world; the only way

This era sought to heal the nation after the Industrial Revolution and the corruption and greed of the Business Elite. One major feat of Progressivism was the establishment of settlement houses beginning in 1989, which sought to benefit the working class by providing childcare, classes, and food for labor workers. This relationship between the upper and lower classes provided a sense of empowerment for laborers, especially women. This would eventually lead to the “uprising of 20,000” of 1909, in which Triangel Shirtwait Company workers would march for their rights. These rights were then denied by the government, until the tragic fire that lead to the death of many Triangle employees.
