In the first chapter the book is speaking about Manchester’s conception of the medieval mindset.

This tragic fire demonstrated how the fire inspections and precautions were noticeably lacking safety for these workers even though “a little more than five months before the tragedy Firemen Edward F. O’Conner made a routine inspection and said the Asch Building was ‘good’ and the building was ‘fireproof’”(28). The fire finally died down with over one hundred dead bodies piled along the streets. Sunday morning “thousands of people began to form into a slowly moving parade around the city blocks”(89). The people were walking in honor of these workers and would go around trying to identify the bodies and confiscate any items the bodies my have possessed for reminiscences. On the other hand, the departments felt immediate quilt for not stepping in to fix the Asch building before, because the departments knew of the horrible safety and health precautions the Asch building had but nobody emphasized the problems. “But who was to blame?” (113). Chief Croker was quick to blame

Regina Barecca’s poem “Nighttime Fires” explains a complex view of the narrator’s father. This poem recalls a part of the unnamed narrator’s life that she is still trying to understand it in her adulthood. This poem illustrates the long lasting impression that was made on a little girl, whose father seeks satisfaction by watching the destruction that is caused by the nighttime fires. The poem creates imagery in the audience’s mind of a father’s character, as his grown daughter still remembers the events that took place when she was five years old. This poem is about a father, who is a victim of the economic downfall that leads him to be without a job; yet, his actions and behaviors are very unusual and unforgivable. The disappointment with the society that has made him unsuccessful in Regina Barreca’s “Nighttime Fire” tells us the thoughts that the speaker has towards her father.

Even after the terrible tragedy happened, the new building the Triangle Waist Company used was not even fire proof and “the firm had already blocked the exit to the fire escape by two rows of sewing machines” (Argersinger, 105). The previous building where the fire had happened would only undergo a few repairs and re-open in the same condition it was in before the fire. This illustrates how the owners of the company did not care much about the safety of their factories, thus it comes as no surprise that the working conditions the shirtwaist makers had to endure were also terrible.

KYLE P-ROLE PLAY- Man guys those soldiers really have it tough. I just saw a 12 year old boy on the confederacy side fighting in the civil war. The life of being a soldier turned out to be way different than I expected. We don’t even have enough food and medicine for us to live.

The Triangle shirtwaist factory fire on March 25, 1911, was one of the worst tragedies ever back then, causing the death of 146 workers. This company was owned by Max Blank and Isaac Harris. They had a little shop by 1900 and it grew quickly, they moved their business to the ninth floor of the new ten-story Asch building. There were approximately 500 workers, mostly immigrant women, worked at the Triangle shirtwaist company. Bessie Cohen, who survived was inside the building and wrote a short story of what had happened. Most women either died from the fire or jumped from a high height. They jumped because the fire trucks' ladders could only reach up to seventh floor. The doors were locked to prevent workers from stealing or leaving, thus, they had no escape. According to fire marshal, cigarettes were the cause of the fire. Cotton is even more flammable than paper, more like explosively. Plus, the factory had woods and there were oxygen. After the fire, they had an investigation.

On July 10, 2001 four U.S Forest Service Firefighters died while battling the thirty mile fire. Six others injured including two hikers. The thirty mile fire was the second deadliest fire in Washington state history.

Chapter one of Stealing Fire is to lay down the fondation of what they want to build off of in later chapters. The idea of "flow" is a slippery concept to grasp, so the authors need to lay down a basic understanding of what flow is, and why they are trying to learn more about it. They explain ecstacy at work in many different situations and their two biggest examples are the Navy SEALs, who opperate on flow, and the didgital behemoth, Google, which hired a CEO based off his capeabilities at burning man and built a whole building for the purpos of flow. They go on to talk about why flow is so envaluable and it is because workers preform at their peek in a state of flow.

Wow what a fireball ChaCha is, and as you mentioned she is fiercely independent. Unfortunately, Bob has been out of town since early Tuesday but returns home this afternoon. ChaCha is my shadow and we have been spending a lot of time together. Tuesday and Wednesday we ran (jog/trot) and she did great, didn't over do it just about two miles, went out early this morning and walked the block which she enjoys, we do that twice daily - long walks that is. We spend most of the day out, we've been to the Red Cross office, Home Depot, Petsmart, Hollywood Feed and I took her with me to the university last night (I lent a friend a book) - she sure is a hit and your right she perfers men! Athena was the same way as well, she was Bob's dog and Apollo was

This story is like the rest of my stories in that I do not write them with much descriptive sex in them. I like to think that my style is more of describing the chase, than the actual catch. It is just a quirk I have. It's sort of like those old time radio shows where you have to use a lot of imagination. This story should have enough facts for you to use your imagination to fill it in though.
