His father and mother were quite different from one another, while they both influenced Carnegie from different point of views. His father was a weaver, before he was laid off, while his mother was the type of woman to do anything to make sure the family was financially stable. Andrew couldn’t help but admire both his figures, but he also had envy and a few bits of dislike towards them. He was always made the odd one out, as his parents always took a more liking to his older brother. Such other influences such as their family’s poverty and lack of opportunities has made him realize that he didn’t want to live such a life, as he got older.
After the first cleanup, Scanlan should have noted that the greatest methane danger is when the mine is inactive for a period of time.

However, even more people are killed if safety precautions are neglected. Secondly, Scanlan could have contacted the local news station or newspaper to report the negligence of the mine owners. Prior to the blast, the leaders of United Mine Workers Local 52 wrote to the governor, complaining of conditions in No.

The family signed an agreement to buy a house, but the house was poorly maintained so it was full of repairs which evidently would cost money that they didn’t have.

He completely depends on money to meet his family’s needs and thinks that “life is money,” more than he trust in his mama and family. Walter is a fairly ineffective man in his house, who has be unable to gain his financial freedom. It becomes expected of Walter in his growth in the movie that his economic inconsistency endangers his ability to meet house hold duties. Throughout the movie, he supplies accurate illustrations to live up to the expected character of Walter Lee Younger. He shows his dependency on money instead of the family with definite evidence of anxiety to acquire his father's insurance check, that the family was waiting for from the start of the movie, in order to attain his goals.
In this particular case, 111 innocent people lost their lives in 1947 because public officials in public administration did not regard the public safety of those people who depended upon them to enforce regulations set in place to protect them. The lives of many families were changed forever.

A main character, Terry, was an older middle aged man who worked for himself and built everything he needed on his families land. When the coal companies approached him about strip mining his land, he was left with a difficult decision because his business was not producing like it had in the past. A serious consideration in his decision was whether his house could withstand the blasts that the coal companies would need in order to mine the land to its fullest. In response to his indecision, the surrounding community of his friends, neighbors, and peers held nothing against him while fighting the rights of the coal company to attack their land. Beverly, arguably one of Terry’s best friends was a lead organizer against the coal companies, and they did not argue much over this incident.
But these immigrant children did not get any pay, this was child labor because the under aged immigrant worker was used and did not receive pay. It was more of a two for one deal for the factory owner because small bodies were needed to fit a certain job. “They are doing away with a great deal of mule-spinning there and putting in ring-spinning…for that reason it takes a good deal of small help…they get all the small help they can to run these ring-frames.” (65). These requirements cost many immigrants available work, leaving these immigrant men without pay unable to provide for their families. In an interview Thomas O’Donnell explains “…at Fall River if a man has not got a boy to act as “back-boy” it is very hard for him to get along…in many cases discharging men in that work and put in men who have boys…and that has brought my circumstances down very much…our children are very often sickly of not having sufficient clothes, shoes, food or something” (64, 65).
