I stood against the far wall of the shabby lobby avoiding eye contact with the doorman as my dad checked us in for the night. We

’d hoped to make it as far as Scranton, but the weather had interfered, leaving us instead at an eyesore of a truck-stop motel. My ear buds were jammed in as far as comfort would allow in a vain attempt to block out the motel’s vibe. Still, I could not ignore the looming presence of the doorman. He stood in the dim portico, sweeping and re-sweeping a pile of lint on the floor, watching the parking lot with his watery eyes, and occasionally signaling to the whiskered clerk behind the desk.

Identify why socialism was gaining ground as a movement and explain why people would be drawn to its ideas in light of the event
bixtya [17]
Socialism evokes the idea “everyone is equal” and “everyone has equal pay.” Leading to this appeal for lower class families who don’t have much money and want to be more equal to the wealthier class, they see this as socialism making everything equal pay, this can fix many issues they had previously with money, they no longer have to work a extra shift to produce this money, they can sit back and receive just as much as any class. During the industrial revolution new technology and companies expanded leading to more wealth and varying jobs and different length of wealth, promoting that “how come I don’t get payed as much as much as that other person” with new open jobs during the industrial revolution, comes new comparison of wealth that people thing they can fix with socialism.
