I can not stress enough that The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was a real life event that truly did happen. The tragedy has effected millions of people, and, that's right, if you have a job, or are going to get a job, it has or will effect you.
Because of this fire, we now have workers rights, such as Workers Comp., minimum wage, and other laws. For instance, the overhead sprinkler law and that fire escape doors can not have a lock on the outside.
Because of these women and girls, we can thank them for these laws. They did not die in vain, they died for the future of our country.
Society was advancing so well, which is why I don't understand how we backtracked so much. I haven't witnessed the advancement--only the aftermath. The gap between the higher and lower class reached its breaking point, especially with an exponentially expanding population and and an equally decreasing food supply. That's when the lower class became that sustenance.
Erin was a young adult whose only goal was to survive. Until she met Ethan and Jenn, who pushed her to act on her wants. Only--how far will she go to achieve her ultimate desire: freedom?
