Year Of Wonders : A Novel Of The Plague By Geraldine Brooks

When manufacturing plants started booming, they found business. Women became valuable factory workers because of their ability to complete complex tasks in the work place. Also, having willingness to labor for an inexpensive pay rate because they were in need boosted their chances of employment. In fact, employers needed them and were happy at the fact that they weren 't too costly to hire. In the document, Morals of Manufactures (1837), it states, “Many of the girls are in the factories because they have too much pride for domestic service.”(Chapter 9 Page 223) As stated before, women were looked over as far being capable of anything else other than a house wife and or mother. Some women worked for pay, as well as to prove that they were more than what society labeled them. This allowed women to make their own money and not be forced to completely live off their husbands. Also, this gave women a freedom and sensibility to become more independent.

Women wanted to operate in places outside of the home, and worked in labor such as factories and mills;

One major argument throughout the book is that religion and the color of the skin effect social norms and how they are enacted but I also think it brought new prospects for women by the seventeenth century. For example, in the case of Eliza Lucas Pinckney. Eliza Lucas Pinckney has a new job that forced her “to master both male and female roles within her culture"

Women of this time period were never taught serious subjects however they were taught Grammar , History , French , Art , and Sewing. They were expected to know the Bible and the Christian faith. Jane Eyre may not be a typical governess, but clearly she has an excellent command of most of these

The seventeenth century was full of challenges; political, social, and economical. Across the board individuals struggled to live, although the conditions had much improved from the beginning of the colonies. Women in particular had a difficult time fitting into this patriarchal this society. Women were defined by men and were seen as an accessory to men. In the colony of New England women were learning how to have a silent voice, while still maintaining the proper role of time. The way women were seen by men, who ran the colony, and the way men thought, not only about women, but also about the world would sculpt the society and the

2.Throughout this time period they allowed many young women to work as well, so the system will function quickly. Women also gained higher status by this.

In this paper I will be talking about the book “ When Plague Strikes the Black Death, Smallpox, AIDS by James Cross Giblin.” I will also talk about how I think it connects to what we have learned this school year.

On one hand, upper and middle class women were educated up to a certain point. They were taught in modern languages, or classics for example, but they were not taught in every area in which men were educated, such as math, history, economics, etc. They were supposed to take care of the house by supervising the servants,

Despite being a well travelled man, Kael had not heard much about the plague. Sure, he overheard conversations about it on his travels, but he had no definitive information about what it was. That was until he spent his first night in a tavern for over 5 months. Kael sat alone on a chair at the bar, spending the lost of the coin he earned escorting some merchants to this small town outside of Bronzegate.

Everyday all over the news they talk about the plague and how it keeps getting worse and worse, more people get infected then more people die. I’m really starting to get sick of seeing all the death. In fact, the plague got so bad that the U.S. had to make special compounds. There are two types of compounds there are the compounds for the people who are not infected (where I am) and another type for the ones who are infected. At the compounds we all have to work very hard to keep the plague under control. My mom and dad who are both scientist who are working hard to find a cure for the plague. My job and my friend Will both have to job of testing people around the compound to make sure they are not infected. If they are infected we have to

During this time families did not believe that women needed to be educated. Instead they felt that education should be acquired only for womanly purposes, such as fulfilling

The 17th century was a time of restoration, revolution, and death. It became a time of growth and change. From death came periods of inovation and creativity. Aside from disease, insanity filled a period of strong violence because of certain belief. Events of our modern society can compare to the growth and change of the 17th century. Both centuries struggled with the extraordinary idea of religion and its beliefs.

Can you imagine getting up at the creak of dawn and then working for 12 plus hours? How about wearing a dress while having to use a loom or work in the mills? Well, the women during the 1800s where the heart and sole for the factories;not only did they have to work at such hours,but they did it with such a grace and many were eager to work for it gave them a sense of independence.

Now the time to extinguish the annoying flame that has burned her for too long it seemed arrived. Did it burden her that much, or was she excusing burden for something else. The word was at the tip of her grasp and no matter how close she leaned it always seemed further away. Never giving up for the first time, she touches it and instantly sees. Being able to see is one thing, being able to understand what is in your sight is another. Scared, she didn’t want him to know. She wanted his flame near her. Selfish thoughts, her actions never helped anyone. To preserve his flame she will do nothing. The secret must remain that. If he got his hands on it, the story would surely break him to pieces. Why must a monster intrigue an angel’s

“The earlier of the 17th century, and especially the period of the English Revolution (1640–60), was a time of intense ferment in all areas of life religion, science, politics, domestic relations, culture.” (Norton and Company,2017) The 17th Century marked the era of change. During the 17th century the English Civil war also took place. The 17th century was also the era that indicated a shift between age of religious beliefs to a times of reason and science. Life for many during the 17th century in the English society would never be the same again. With all the talk about the religious controversy and the civil war everyone’s lives were turned upside down and many people didn’t know what to do. Because of these difficult issues, they became the product to reformulating an individual’s role in society, along with their views on faith. The 17th century produced a lot of literature at the time that reflected the major change in society and how the individual’s roles in it changed.
