DBQ essay In the historical past of the labor movement in the 1800s, the Untied States of America had reached the second industrial revolution. In its occurrence, labor movements had many factors which affected the company and laborers themselves. Laborers were strongly determined to the union; they accepted any measures from the government or their factory owners. And the government itself was willing to use any measure, such as killing, to those did not cooperate and help maintain peace in their factories. Laborers were all tired from being treated like slaves and work under unbearable conditions.

What started off as a local labor revolt against harsh conditions for workers of the Pullman Palace Car Company turned into a cataclysmic nationwide showdown between labor and capital. Workers in conjunction with the American Railway Union vociferously protested against abusive labor practices and policies. Eugene Debs, the zealous leader of the American Railway Union, strategically strengthened the strike that soon mushroomed into a boycott. The railroad strike and boycott paralyzed half the nation and ultimately interfered with the United States mail delivery. President Grover Cleveland stated, “if it takes every dollar in the Treasury and every soldier in the United States Army to deliver a postal card in Chicago, that postal card shall be delivered” (Papke, Pg.
Ethan Frome. Edith Wharton.375 Hudson street New York, New York, 10014, USA: New American Library, 2000. 157 The book Ethan Frome was written by Edith Wharton. Ethan has had a hard life, and in the story is trapped between his sickly, overbearing wife, and loving his house girl, Mattie. This tragic romance seems to be aimed more towards the female psyche, and this affected how I interpreted it.

Sinclair was inspired to write a book about the working class of America (consisting mostly of immigrants), primarily based on the packing town of Chicago and the different attitudes they can have and actions they carried out. Sinclair developed his story and his characters in an unusual way by using the third person and almost completely having no dialogue but instead used intricate details and imagery. Jurgis’ character seems to be caught in the trap of capitalism. Jurgis originally follows the harsh rules of capitalism and at first there seems to be hope that 12 hour working days (excluding Sundays) and low wages can support his big family but the society he lives beats and diminishes his expectations and hope until Jurgis completely changes and turns his life around for a life as a criminal. As a criminal, Jurgis finds money to come easier without working as hard but Jurgis learns that politics, crime and business is intertwined in Chicago and Jurgis fails again losing confidence and hope.
Al Smetana, the president of a manufacturing firm Rayburn Unlimited, is considering what to do to deal with Craig Lindley, who misuses company time and resources watching pornography on the Web. In my opinion Al should fire Craig to send a message to other employees not to misuse company time and resources. Additionally, Al’s this action shows his employees that he treats everyone fairly in working condition. Moreover, Al had better help Craig Lindley to overcome the psychological problem for sake of his contribution to the company and to show friendship. Al should fire Craig Lindley for several reasons.
When Huck almost sells Jim out, it is a constant internal battle between Huck’s heart and society. Under no circumstances would I consider Mark Twain to be racist. Mark Twain may use the word “nigger” often, but he creates these racist comments as satires to ridicule society during these times. He uses one of the best works of art to show how life was at one point and to remind future generations how depressing it was for black people in the South during the 1800’s. Twain is like Huck Finn in the aspect that they grew up in racist environments and eventually realized society was wrong for what they were doing.
There are many examples of this principle: Zora Hurston’s 1926 short story “Sweat,” Guy Maupassant’s 1884 short story “Mother Savage,” and Ralph Ellison’s 1997 short story “A Party Down at the Square.” These works of literature demonstrate that whatever you do will eventually come back to you, whether it be good or bad. “Sweat” is a story about Delia Jones, a black washwoman who seeks revenge on her husband Sykes for the way he has treated her for the past fifteen years. The reader immediately acquires examples of Sykes’s mistreatment toward Delia (Hurston, 137-138). He was rudely awakened when Delia defensively struck him with a skillet after he had dirtied, and scattered a pile of clean clothes that she had just washed. This is the first illustration of cause and effect, displayed by Hurston in this short story.
