Answer and explanation:

By saying that people around her have stories printed on their faces of hard lives, abuse and poverty, I believe Nellie Bly is stating that among the mental impatients, there are certain social struggles (homeless condition, abuse, extreme poverty) that may cause people to loose their right minds.

This, and probably not having the right companionship, is what leads people to no other place other than a mental facility.

When Nellie Bly describes the people around her as having “stories printed on their faces of hard lives, abuse and poverty,” and that it is “only an old story”, she is picturing a contemporary scenario of poverty, hunger, difficulties and abuse which is anything but new. The main character is emotionally touched by this scene: "I commenced to shake with more than the cold, and I looked around at the strange crowd about me, composed of poorly dressed men and women...". There has always been and there will always poverty around us and as it has lost novelty, we somehow get blind and insensitive: "Everywhere was a sprinkling of well-dressed, well-fed officers watching the scene passively and almost indifferently"

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Proximate cause

Explanation:

As it relates to law, proximate cause refers to something or an event that happened that causes some things or another event to occur. The court can deem an event to have been the actually cause of an injury even though the injury didn't occur at the place of the injury. In other words, the injury might not have happened if the event or action didn't happen; the event might not be a sufficient condition for the injury to occur, but it is a necessary condition.
