Question

In the book Uprising, what question does Harriet wonder, years after the fire?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) Why that tragedy is remembered so clearly by the public.

Explanation:

The novel "Uprising" by Margaret Peterson Haddix revolves around the lives of a group of immigrant women who were killed in a fire that burned down their workplace. The story delves into the themes of women suffrage, rights, the rich, and the poor, the truth, and also most importantly, the theme of sacrifice and hardships.

Harriet is the daughter of the owner of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory where the fire happened and killed many people, including two of the major protagonists of the story. When the incident occurred, Harriet was just a small child and was not much privy to the details of it. But after she became an adult and is capable of inheriting her father's money, she came to Mrs. Livingstone to ask in detail about the fire and what really happened, "flesh and blood" and not through the newspapers and what people say. She wonders if she can get the money, "blood money" and use it in a better way. But the question that she wants to be answered most is why people seem so interested and focused on the factory while there were other major incidents too.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
