Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

Alona [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Female factory workers had to work long hours, sometimes up to eighty hours a week.

Explanation:

Joan Dash provided a poignant and eye-opening historical account of the women's factory strike of 1909 in "We Shall Not Be Moved." This provides an insight into what the condition was like for women and also how the Women's Trade Union League came to be.

In the given passage from the text, the narrator reveals how the women's demand was simple: <em>"a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." </em>And in order to understand what the basis of the demands were, we have to know the situation of workers, especially female workers during the early 1990s. And the fact that <u>women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week</u> was too much for any living being to endure.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Hitman42 [59]

        As the lyric voice dreams and hopes all through the poem it means this subject is fantasizing of a different world, so it is implied that the speaker <u>lives in a time and place where equality does not exist.</u>  This is a common theme on Langston Hughes' poems, the need for equality for a better world. As it was written before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, there were a lot of segregation over the United States, and many black people were harmed and had struggles because of the racial issue.

How do the rumors about Gatsby tie into the theme of illusion and reality in chapter 6?
kykrilka [37]
There are lots of rumors going around about Gatsby. Some people say he is a spy and others say he once killed someone. The truth is a bit simpler than that: Gatsby was born into a poor farming family. He had to work to put himself through college. 

These rumors, as well as Gatsby's reality, illustrate the theme of illusion vs. reality. In this world, nothing is as it appears to be. Everything is an illusion -- everyone is pretending to be something they're not.

In this, Gatsby is no different. Many characters, Gatsby included, wear a mask that hides the real person underneath.

The author is making the point that the world of glitz and glamour is often all for show.
