She’s so tired she can’t even make it upstairs, so she stumbles her way up the obstacle. “She had been coughing a dry, painful cough through the night that kept both Betsy and Amelia awake, though not Lyddie” (89).

Lyddie is struggling to breathe and is exhausted. This leads some to say that she must sign the petition. However, signing the petition could get her fired which will make it almost impossible to reunite back with her family. When talking to her roommates, Lyddie shares her own opinion on signing the petition. When talking, her roommates mention that if you sign the petition they wouldn't have to work longer. She says, “But we'd be paid less” (Paterson 91). This quote shows that signing the petition can decrease her payment which would make it even longer to reunite with her family. When Betsy finishes reading to Lyddie they talk about what they heard lately. Unfortunately, Lyddie has the possibility of getting blacklisted (Paterson 81). This quote shows that if she gets fired for signing the petition she could get blacklisted, which means that no other mills would hire her. Being blacklisted makes it difficult to reunite back with her family. It's tough working in the factory but Lyddie is strong enough to keep on working and

I am against the student councils suggestion to have an election for a "hero of the month". The student could access to private information, only 9 kids will be " hero of the month", and also they would miss a day of school.
Devin, in her email says (morning), "Amber Leitao missed the take home group yesterday due to an issue with her car. She never misses sessions with me so is it possible to not put a no show for yesterday so that I can put her in the February 2nd group." It's commendable that the patient attends to her counseling sessions since 12/12/16. However, her note contradicts her comment because it reports that the patient was stuck in traffic, not having a car issue. In addition, to reviewing Devin's note, the patient's work conference is not until 03/2/2017-03/3/2017 in NJ. Because of this, this will give the patient enough time to attend the THB group on the
