Question

What does the author’s description of the characters’ actions reveal about the real-life working conditions at the factory? (lines 23 – 26)
"The bell finally rang, and Yetta and Jennie both stood up and stretched, reviving cramped muscles, unhunching rounded shoulders, stamping feet that had gone numb on the sewing machine pedal."

Answer 1

Answer:

The author's desription of the characters' actions reveal that the working conditions of the factories were exhausting, much like the factories of the Industrial Revolution (you can use this to compare).  

Explanation:

words (word choice) such as reviving cramped muscles signify that they worked for long periods of time

unhunching rounded shoulders show that they were always hunched over  showing either dedication or stamina

stamping feet that had gone numb shows they had no to little breaks or they were forced to work for that long
