Summary Of Lyddie By Katherine Paterson

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not, and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices.

Some decisions can be easy, some decisions can be tough. In the Novel Lyddie, by Katherine Patterson Lyddie has to make a decision to sign the petition or is she isn’t going to sign the petition. Lyddie is working at Lowell, Massachusetts trying to make money to pay off the debt for her house in Vermont. While there are reasons Lyddie should sign the petition , there are more reasons why she should not sign the petition. Lyddie should not sign the petition because she need money to pay off the debt. Also, she wants Rachel to go to school so if she to that to happen…

When you have a decision to make and there is consequent with both it can be hard to chooses. In the book Lyddie, by Katherine Paterson a girl named Lyddie moved from Vermont to work in a factory to make money for her family. When she is working in the factory good and bad things happen. So bad that she is thinking about signing a petition. While some people believe that she should sign the petition because she could get less hours of work at the factory.

Fewer hours would be good for Lyddie so the conditions of the environment won’t get her bad enough to make her sick again. In the text, it states, “Now that she thought of it, she could hardly breathe, the air was so laden with moisture and debris… she had to get air, but the window was nailed shut against the April morning. She leaned her forehead against it, even the glass seemed hot… She coughed trying to free her throat and lungs for breath.” This just shows how much pollution is in the air. Lyddie wasn’t even able to open the window to get a fresh breath of hair since it was nailed shut. Something needs to happen or the death count of factory workers will go higher. This environment is unsuitable at all for Lyddie, let alone the mill not being safe for the others. Lyddie’s environment is just terrible and it’s making everyone sick. Lyddie should sign the petition before bad things start happening. If this is going to be where Lyddie is going to work, they should at least make it safer. This is why we are going to talk about the other point, shortening amounts of hours Lyddie

Girls as young as 10 years old start working 13-14 hours a day for 6 days at the Lowell mill. The book “Lyddie” by Katherine Patterson conveys the struggles girls faced in the 1800s because of the working condition in the Lowell. The book revolves around the world of a 13 year old girl who is separated from her family so she can pay the debts and save their farm. Some people say Lyddie should not sign the petition because she needs to earn money for her family. Lyddie should sign the petition because the environment at the mill is not healthy nor is it safe and the corporation makes workers work hard for very less pay and wears them out.

At this point in the novel, Betsy gets sick from the filthy air in the boardinghouse and the amount of work she had to do in the mill. When Betsy was leaving, Lyddie thought, "She'll never be strong enough again to work in a mill thirteen, fourteen hours a day" (113). This shows that mill work takes strength and it's often dangerous for young girls to work 13 to 14 hours a day. Because of how tiring the work is, workers often get sick, like in this quote, Betsy gets sick and had to leave. If Lyddie signs the petition, and it becomes valid, then workers only have to work 10 hours a day. Therefore decreasing the possibility of them getting sick. All in all, Lyddie should sign the petition because 13-14 hours a day is too

There was one moment in the book where she had to make probably one of the most difficult choices in her life, yet she did not hesitate to make that choice. Jeannette’s older sister, Lori, always wanted to move to New York to escape her delusional parents. However, she did not have enough money to pay for a bus ticket, wiping out any hope that she had. " ‘I'll never get out of here,’ Lori kept saying. ‘I'll never get out of here.’ ‘You will,’ I said. ‘I swear it.’ I believed she would. Because I knew that if Lori never got out of Welch, neither would I.” Then one day, Jeannette was offered $200 and a bus ticket back to Welch to take care of a woman’s two toddlers in Iowa for the summer. Instead, she insisted that the woman, Mrs. Sanders, should take Lori and her payment be a “bus ticket to New York City.” The fact that Jeannette easily made the decision of sacrificing her ticket for Lori amazes me; she knew how important the trip the New York was for her, so she wanted to make that dream happen. When Lori left, Jeannette still did not give up on her dream to go to New York and become a journalist. She joined just about “every extracurricular event at the school” to gain the attention of colleges, particularly in New York. The motivation that can be found in this is that you cannot give up on your ambitions

The book H20 is largely based upon decision making, each decision every character makes is vital to the story. The main character in the book, Ruby has many times when she has to make a very difficult decision and she ends up making what I think was the wrong one. An example of one of these decisions is near the middle of the book when her and her step-dad Simon have to go hunting for water and she refuses to go to her neighbors homes where she knows there is food, water, medicine and many other necessities. Because Ruby refused to go into her neighbors homes they went to other neighborhoods because the houses that were nearby didn’t have very much food or water. Because Ruby and Simon went to other streets they went to a house on a hill on the side of the road where Simon drank poisoned water and died. So if I were Ruby and had

There are a number of reasons how an issue of an individual’s capacity has an effect on them making an informed choice including: physical health, mental health, religion, social class, the law, financial support, family support. Even though the list is endless, it is dependent on the individual and their personal situation which will determine the choice they make. The issues which may occur for someone making a decision may influence how an individual makes an informed choice, a few examples are:

In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid explores the disillusionment faced by the eponymous character upon immigrating to the United States. The novel's style of narration allows Lucy’s thoughts and emotions to remain hidden. Despite this intense privacy, Lucy's disillusionment is clear. She had hoped that moving around the globe would solve her problems but she still struggles with homesickness and her relationship with her mother. Her move is disappointing. The erasure poem And Coldest also engages disillusionment. The poem suggests the speaker has become disillusioned by observing the world, and indicates their plan to be “shut tight.” The poem inspired me to consider the causes of Lucy’s disillusionment, and her failure to address her own emotions. As a recent immigrant, the causes of Lucy’s disillusionment are somewhat obvious. More enigmatic is her self-avoidant, “shut tight” attitude. In this paper, I argue that Lucy’s disillusionment causes her to avoid the discomfort that comes with self-reflection.
