Answer:
Help readers under stand why Alcatraz was turned into a federal prison
Explanation:
This section was written to help the readers understand the events that led up to the decision to make Alcatraz a Federal Prison. It happened that during the 1930's, there was an increase in crimes in the United States by some hardened armed robbers.
These hardened men when convicted and sent to prisons, escaped and were no match for the prison warders. This led to the decision to construct a federal prison that was escape-proof. Alcatraz was considered the best choice because it was desolate and isolated. The worst prisoners were sent to Alcatraz.
<span>The iron is a symbolic representation and a mirror of the struggles of the narrator as a mother. Tillie Olsen, the author of the book became a young mother during the 1940s. This led to her shifting her dreams of becoming a writer into taking care and raising her four children. <span>
</span>The story was focused on the struggles of working-class women who wanted to balance their family life as well as provide for their families. Ironing people’s clothes was one of those home-bound activities that women can do back then while at the same time help them raise their children.
The iron is also a symbolic representation of motherhood, and that it can be a tiring but also a fulfilling task that a mother can do. The story talks about humbling experiences (i.e. being a working class woman) that can still lead to values that are life-affirming. The setting of the story was during the period of nuclear war and economic recession and what women have to go through to raise their families and portray themselves as mothers in a struggling environment. <span>

How ferociously the sun glares these days! It was scorching hot today. Is it the effect of global warming? I am certain; this heat wave is unbearable because of the global warming. If at the onset of summer the mercury is so high, what will people and animal do in the month of June? The sun was biting the skin on my arms and neck! I felt it might wear holes in my skin! Thank God there are still some trees left in the city along roads. If I had not taken refuge under one of them I would surely have burnt myself of the intense heat of the sun. I know it is all because of man’s recklessness towards the environment. If man had not cut forests on such large scale the world would not heat up so much! If man had controlled the emission of green house gases, global warming could have been checked. But alas! Man learns from tragedies only. What can I do?
