The theme of Uprising is to use your voice and stand up for what you believe in. This is the theme because with your voice you can stand up for what you believe in. Yetta uses her voice and many popular, wealthy people speak out, and newspapers write about the strike. This shows that your voice is a powerful weapon when you use it for a good cause.

The Triangle Factory was a working sweatshop, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris located in Manhattan. The Factory mainly hired young immigrant women and forced them to work in crowded spaces with sewing machines, with pay below minimum wage. The teenage girls barely knew any English and had to work nearly 12 hours every day. When the International Ladies Garment Workers Union went on strike in 1909, for higher pay and sensible hours, Blanck and Harris´s company was one of the only companies that resisted, hiring police as thugs to put the women on strike in prison and paying politicians to look the other way.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire | History

# data[].attributes.body
On March 25, on a Saturday afternoon, there were 600 people inside the building at the time when the fire began. The manager tried to use the fire hose to put it out, but unfortunately didn´t succeed because the hose was rotted and the valve was rusted shut. The fire grew larger and so did everyone´s fear. The young workers tried to escape the building but the only working elevator could only hold 12 people at a time and the operator could only make 4 trips before it broke down from the flames. The girls who were left waiting for the elevator, jumped down the shaft to their death. Many were also burned alive after meeting the locked doors at the end of the stairwell. The people who were floors above the fire escaped to the roof and then to connecting buildings. The workers who weren´t able to make it to an elevator or stairs were trapped inside by the fire so they began to jump out the windows to escape it, making it difficult to put out the fire as the bodies fell on the fire hoses.

"Ashes of Roses" by Mary Jane is about Margaret Rose Nolan, who had just arrived from Ireland to work at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City just before the 1911 fire that killed 146 employees.
The similarity between Uprising and Ashes of Roses is that in Uprising, Bella was 15, Yetta was 14, and Jane was 17. And in Ashes of Roses, the main character Rose was 16. So the ages are close. They both worked at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City.
The difference in the novels is that Bella came from Italy alone, hoping to work hard and send money to her family. She later found out she was betrayed and the money never reached them. In Ashes of Roses, Rose came to America with her family hoping for a new life and freedom. Some family members are forced to return to Ireland. Rose and her sister stay in New York and struggled to survive.

Yetta´s character traits are fearless, and a little risky. Yetta puts herself out there when it comes to the strike. She has no fear and went to jail quite a few times during the strike. This collides with the expectations of the era in a bad way because, during this time period, all of the girls should act properly and perfectly and not break any rules.

Bella´s character traits are shyness and quietness, and when she gets to America she is a rule follower. This collides with the expectations of the era in a good way because she listens and pays attention to her work.

Jane's character traits are loving and rebellious. She is rebellious because she does not agree with what her dad is promoting. This character trait is bad or this era because they want all of the girls to behave and be perfect.
