Women, on the other hand, had traditionally served as spinners and weavers when textiles ad been produced in the home and they constituted and important part of the family economy”(2) Lowell uses his logic to bring young money into the factories because he believes it will be a better idea. He thinks that the use of young women will provide a better and faster working factory because men weren’t used to doing this work and it might cause an uproar if men were working making cotton. Lowell also has an engineer who makes many inventions to help the factories. He created many inventions one of which was the power loom. This was the most important invention and part of his plan because it was a kick off to all the factories.
Combs taught me that pushing through what you are scared of is only going to hold you back from being successful. I honestly feel that there is nothing holding me back in regards to my passions and my career and one day I will be successful in a field of work that I
As you can see in source 13 it shows a painting of a new railway station. My second change is the work the cotton and wool industry grew and grew this caused more jobs for the people. Many children worked in the cotton mills as you can see in source 10 on the handout. This helped countries trade and bring in money which helped the economy a lot. My final change is the health and the medicine a vaccination had been developed for small pox.
This would mean a much larger population working in factories and more people easily able to move to Manchester to work. While this would be good for factory production, it also meant overcrowding in the city. Thomas B. Macaulay, a liberal member of Parliament recalled in his essay “Southey’s Colloquies” in the 1830’s that conditions were much better in Manchester because of the effects of manufacturing. He said that because people
I have worked hard to build a trustworthy reputation to safely operate a reactor and perform maintenance, and I also understand that it only takes me making one poor decision to destroy the admiration for my integrity that I have worked so hard to gain. It was once said by the founding father of nuclear power, Admiral Hyman Rickover, “I believe it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him. Admittedly, one man by himself cannot do the job. However, one man can make a difference... We must live for the future of the human race, and not for our own comfort or success.”(Rockwell, 1992) I could not agree more with this quote. Ultimately, everyone must work together and perform to the standard that has been set for us.
16, 634). By the 1890’s, over two-thirds of the working Americans were in a factory working the floors and machinery rather than running/owning a farm, business or craft shop. In the fifty years from 1870 to 1920, eleven million Americans had moved to factory jobs.

Quote #1 “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” -Booker T. Washington Washington’s inspiring quote illustrates a deeply held opinion. The quote is not just about overcoming obstacles, but also measuring one's success from the strength and perseverance required to become a successful person. Based on the novel, as well as my personal experiences, one can begin to understand why this quote has stood the test of time. If success is truly measured by the obstacles that one must overcome, then the Walls children are a great example of success. For example, in the story we learn that they "lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire" (34).This is proof that the Walls children have a lot to overcome and can be considered successful.
