Question 4: Zinn’s interpretation of late nineteenth-century labor unions and strikes differs from Schweikart and Allen’s by Zinn tells all the bad of the labor unions and strikes while Schweikart and Allen tell all the good of the labor unions and

Although many say that the bombing that caused the Haymarket Riot did not help the cause of the protestors, I claim that the bombing helped the eight hour work day movement by striking fear into the employers, which

Life in the early 1900’s wasn’t easy. Competition for jobs was at an all time high, especially in New York City. Immigrants were flooding in and needed to find work fast, even if that meant in the hot, overcrowded conditions of garment factories. Conditions were horrid and disaster was inevitable, and disaster did strike in March, 1911. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York set on fire, killing 146 workers. This is an important event in US history because it helped accomplish the tasks unions and strikes had tried to accomplish years earlier, It improved working conditions in factories nationwide and set new safety laws and regulations so that nothing as catastrophic would happen again. The workplace struggles became public after

different. They both share similar topics, in that they are two stories of cultures, but written from

In the social aspect, I also find a similarity in the division of the people, especially among the high class/politicians. For both revolutions, there has been people from powerful and wealthy positions who has admitted the injustices and are supporting the revolution. Moreover, there are also similarities between the monarchs or, in our case the president. For both revolutions, the monarch/president has decided to use force or was at least planning to use force to suppress the protests. The consequence of this decision of the monarch/president was similar as well. The force had only angered the people more and failed in suppressing them.

The two text are similar for various reasons. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. As seen in Harrison Bergeron this conflict occurs when Harrison

In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, labor was anything but easy. Factory workers faced long hours, low pay, high unemployment fears, and poor working conditions during this time. Life today is much easier in comparison to the late 1800s. Americans have shorter days, bigger pay and easier working conditions. Not comparable to how life is today, many riots sparked, and citizens began to fight for equal treatment. Along with other important events, the Haymarket Riot, the Pullman Strike, and the Homestead strike all play a vital role in illustrating labor’s struggle to gain fair and equitable treatment during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Both texts discuss the results of standing up or standing idly by, thereby explaining how taking action is important when faced with injustice. In Las Mantillas the women take action for what they believe in and stand up to the government. In the end they prevail and a new regime is born as the “revolution rain[s] down on the capital” (Channer 193). Since they are active in standing up for their rights as well as the rest of the citizens, they succeed in changing the government. In contrast, in It is Dangerous to Read Newspapers the author explains that because of her “passive eyes” (Atwood l. 22) nothing ever changes regarding war and “each time [she] hit[s] a key / on [her] electric typewriter … another village explodes” (l. 28-29, 31). Both stories use different examples to exemplify the importance of taking action. One shows that violence is perpetuated when the world stands idly by, while the other shows the positive effects. Ultimately, they come to the same conclusion: that to stop injustice a person must be proactive.

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

It may be the same era and the same basic theme between both writings, but there are two significant differences -- social class and physical location. The

In Document B, which was explained by David A. Wells, an engineer and economist, was informative on how working condition were analogous to a military organization, “in which the individual no longer works as independently as formerly, but as a private in the ranks, obeying orders, keeping step, as it were, to the tap of the drum, and having nothing to say as to the plan of his work, of its final completion, or of its ultimate use and distribution. In short, the people who work in the modern factory are, as a rule, taught to do one thing—to perform one and generally a simple operation; and when there is no more of that kind of work to do, they are in a measure helpless.” (Document B) Which meant that workers at the factory basically don’t hold responsibility to themselves, as workers mainly are only trained to one job, relating to David A. Well theory. Document F sourced by Samuel Gompers, also portrays how the conditions were explaining that there was too many workers trying to fit in one factory place, and poor conditions. This was how union were created, to regain benefits, as well for better working

The Winnipeg General Strike The year of 1919 has been one of the most influential years of strikes

It certainly won’t be hard to distinguish between these two stories about slavery in America during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries because their views are vastly different.

In the article True Teen Story from History : Dust Bowl He was talking about when he saw the storm come in and the article of Black Sunday was stating the same thing. Like The two articles were both talking about how the “great plains was hit by a record breaking heat and relentless drought”. Also a situation that happened in both articles was when it was the 1930’s the grain prices were falling and farmers that were in the great plains were in trouble. The two articles also state how the main characters were both caught in the dust storm. Those are my main reasons on how these articles compare.
