Summary of the Time Period, Author’s Focus, and Purpose In the article “The Labor Problem at Jamestown, 1607-18,” written by Edmund S. Morgan, Jamestown had a major problem with labor. The citizens of Jamestown were lazy and wouldn’t work for their food, because their only intention was to look for gold. They’d rather play games than work in the field. It wasn’t until John Smith made them plant corn and force them to do labor for six hours before the citizens put their butt into gear. Eventually, the citizens grew tired of this and forced Indians to do their labor for them.
Getting treated like property, no respect or dignity, completely invisible to all growers, and seen as lazy, ignorant, stupid, dirty, and poor and that’s one of the reasons why they were migrant workers; they also got treated like crap. Another example that includes this topic is “…And the Earth Did Not Devour Him.” This book embraces some powerful, intense, and interesting stories about the life of the workers. In one of the stories, “The Children Couldn’t Wait” is about a little boy who was working with his dad in the fields. The little boy was tired and thirsty and kept asking his dad if he could go drink water where the cattle drank from, but his dad told him no. The little boy didn’t listen so he kept going every once in a while to
We ain't got no choice and if that means getting killed... its what we do around here to feed our family.” Another cause of this problem is the lack of choices they can make.

If that means risking their lives selling crack to make $3.30 an hour then that’s what has to be done. A final quote that supports this is “They did however pay dues to the gang-some for protection, other for the chance to eventually earn a job as a foot soldier.
In 1605-1612, the colonists experienced the longest drought (Doc B). Because of the lack of rain, they weren’t able to grow crops (Doc B). The seasons also caused diseases to spread (Doc E). The occupations of the colonists contributed to the colonist dying. They brought gentlemen, rich men that didn’t work with their hands, and they wanted other people to build their houses and hunt for their food (Doc C).
Beyond schooling he held very few jobs and preferred to claim unemployment benefits to provide means for an income. He was eventually committed to Boys Town, a juvenile detention facility, by his mother who found him difficult to manage. His father Ken, with whom he never shared a close relationship, left the household in 1981, leaving Travers as the head of the family. Finding it difficult to support the family, Travers relied on crime to provide food, stealing animals such as chickens and ducks from nearby households for food. The health of Travers' mother eventually deteriorated, and he and his siblings were sent to live with foster families whilst she was hospitalised.
daddy tucked in a blanket In The essays “Daddy Tucked the Blanket” By Randall Williams, and “Shame” By Richard Gregory both have the same conflict in their lives and that conflict is poverty. Randall has problems with poverty; However, Randall’s point of view with poverty is his house being so messed up and torn up with all the people living in it and is ashamed of bringing any friends over because of the bad shape it’s in. Richard version of poverty is different from Randall’s. Richard’s family receives welfare checks; however he makes his own little money by shoe shining and selling papers. As Randall only has the problem of his house, Richard has the problem of not eating food and is desperate for it that he even eats paste from school.
The script frequently switches from character to character in different stages of their lives to create the illusion of feeling lost in the story and not really know what’s going on. Jane Harrison’s intention was to make the viewer feel a faint sense of losing their place in the play to reflect the way the characters felt lost in a white man’s world. ‘Stolen’ depicts Jimmy as always being on the run and having to fend for himself and his mother from a young age, he would get into to trouble for thieving food supplies from different local places. He never really had a permanent home so he could let his guard and inhibitions go. He moved from relative to relative until he was finally institutionalized.
The city revolved around a “survival of the fittest” manner and would chew you up only to spit you back out for another beating if you didn’t comply. The unfair techniques politicians used to scam elections made it close to impossible for the weak to gain any strength. So the days carried on for the immigrants, who mainly worked in factories.
