In the novel “Hard Times” by Charles Dicken, Mr. Gradgrind refers to Sissy as “girl number 20”. Charles uses this labeling of Sissy to criticize the dehumanization of students and the stripping away of their individuality.
Mr. Gradgrind is so unbiased that he doesn't use names when referring to his students, instead he uses numbers like he does with Sissy.
According to the article "7 Reasons to Get Rid of the Penny," one difference between pennies made in 1909 and pennies made today is:
A. Pennies made in 1909 contained <u>mostly copper</u>.
- "7 Reason to Get Rid of the Penny" is an article by Jeff Nilsson in which he explains why pennies are not worth being produced any longer.
- Nilsson explains that pennies were introduced in 1909 for the centennial of Lincoln's birth. Back then, they were made of 95% copper.
- Because copper was valuable then, a penny was actually <u>worth 2.5 cents</u>.
- Nowadays, pennies are only 2.5% copper. Also, a penny is <u>worth 1 cent, but it costs 1.8 cents to make.</u>
- Therefore, that is one of the reasons why<u> producing</u> pennies is <u>not worth </u>the trouble anymore.
