As a writer, you must constantly read, to improve your writing skills. It can be inferred that Ida Tarbell would most likely read on the go, because she would value reading. Often, writers start out reading other people's work, and use that as their own inspiration, to create their own pieces. Later on, people read Ida Tarbell's work as one of the first successful women journalists, and it would inspire them to make a difference just like she did. Ida Tarbell, called out on big oil corporations such as The Standard Oil Company. By calling them out, on their monopolization, it resulted in the federal action of splitting up the the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey because of the 1911 Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

This quote could have been Tarbell's wallpaper, because it clearly applies to her. She wrote something worth reading; revealing a huge oil company, and impacting the United States. These works, eventually made into a book, became extremely famous and caused her to write more, therefore people to read it more. Many people obviously read it because it resulted in federal intervention. The other section of the quote: Do something worth writing, applies to Tarbell as well. It could apply in two different ways. One way would be how in her early days of journalism she wrote biographies on Abraham Lincoln, and Napoleon Bonaparte. They did something worth writing about, so she wrote it. This helped her gain knowledge and experience, that would eventually lead to her more well known writings. The other way the second half of the poem could be applied to Tarbell, would be that she herself, has many biographies written about her; she did something worth writing about. Her works, and biographies about her, are still read today, and used to influence people to change the world.

Remember The Name, by Fort Minor, is a song that discusses the struggles people go through, and how they come out strong in the end. Within each defined section, it talks about a new person's story, and how they started out rough. It states how they achieve success through creativity, and getting their voice heard. Fort Minor's chorus is this: "This is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill. Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure. Fifty percent pain. And a hundred percent reason to remember the name" Ida Tarbell, would most likely listen to this song because of the struggles she faces as a journalist. To be a well known journalist is particularly difficult, especially as a woman in the early 1900s. Often when people rise up to fame, their are numerous people that bring them down, because they are envious, and want to be as talented. Other people might have brought Ida Tarbell down, because she is a woman and back then, a lot of people didn't consider women's opinions to matter. Ida Tarbell could've used this song to motivate herself, and prove them wrong by writing about women's perspective of the French Revolution. In this work of hers she discusses how women's opinions due matter, because they brought compassion and moderation to the politics at the time, therefore making a difference. In addition, Tarbell's own father warned her that the Standard Oil Company would crush her. But she was relentless and kept fighting for the little guy. Another reason Tarbell could have listened to this song, would be for this lyric: "He doesn't need his name up in lights He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic." Tarbell may have related to this lyric, because her primary reason for her writings, wasn't to be famous, but to make a difference, and to have her opinions be heard. She wanted to make a difference by calling out Oil Companies, on their unfair treatment to employees, and their monopolization. Music can impact people, whether today, or a hundred years ago, it can still motivate people to make a change in the world, and that's what Ida Tarbell could have done while listening to this song.

Heal The World by Micheal Jackson, is about how people can work together to heal the human race. The particular lines display how Ida Tarbell could have listened to this song: "Heal the world. Make it a better place. For you and for me. And the entire human race. There are people dying. If you care enough for the living. Make it a better place. For you and for me." She may have listened to this song because it would have inspired her to make the world a better place. In the mid 1800s, Ida Tarbell, grew up in Pennsylvania which had a lot of black gold. Her father; an oil producer and refiner, was negatively impacted  by a price-fixing scheme in 1872, planned by the John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company and Pennsylvania Railroad. However, they were acting under the disguise of the South Improvement Company. Many small businesses were taken over by this company, and others attempted to stay afloat because of the large competition. As a young girl, Tarbell noticed the large impact it took on her family, and it stuck with her throughout time. Tarbell knew that these companies were monopolizing, and treating workers unfairly, so instead of standing by and just watching, she took charge. She took charge by writing The History of the Standard Oil Company, in 1902. This received so much success, that was once planned as a three part series, turned into a nineteen part series. In this, she revealed The Standard Oil Companies's negative tendencies. Such as the events that happened to her family, and other events that occurred in the same area decades previous to that. Her extensive research not only single-handedly create muckraking; a certain type of journalism, but it also diminished the extremely big business of the Standard Oil Company; who was eventually determined in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Tarbell describes this as Rockefeller's impact on the world: “our national life is on every side distinctly poorer, uglier, meaner, for the kind of influence he exercises.” By listening to this song, it could have motivated her to change the world, and make sure not everyone ends up like that.

Inkl is a current events App, that updates you on what is happening in the world. As a journalist, you constantly have to update your knowledge on the world, to stay up to date with your writings, so it can be inferred that Ida Tarbell would have this app, in order to be accurate in her pieces. Although, she never considered herself as writer:  “I was not a writer, and I knew it,” she states that her extensive research of; using spies, interviewers, and spending years researching thousands of documents, “ought to count for something. And perhaps I could learn to write.” Often times journalists from all eras need to stay updated on what's happening in the world, to be accurate, and help them right, or get inspiration. Ida Tarbell would have this app to stay updated on the go, instead of carrying around a newspaper, that is not as up to date, and can be easily lost.

Tarbell may have had this on her phone, in order to put it in another one of her pieces about the Standard Oil Company. The Kraken, or the large octopus like sea monster, is taking control of the country. The Standard Oil Company was the largest oil company. They had certain privileges, since there was a lot of product, which was good for the railroad companies. This would mean cheaper prices, for standard oil, than other oil companies would get. This then lets prices be lower, but the company is still making a decent profit. No other companies could compete, Rockefeller bought out all the other companies in the area, and the ones that refused to be bought, he would sink them under.  He would have the cheapest prices, he was so rich that he could afford to have cheaper prices and make less money for a little bit, just so he could sink the competitor's business. This is what happened to Ida Tarbell's father in the early 1860s, and later inspired her to make a change. When competition would fully be out, they would raise prices again to make profit. This monopoly continued until Standard Oil's oil became 90% of the oil America used. People didn't like that they owned most of the oil, but Rockefeller had so much money that he could bribe many politicians not to say anything. Monopolies had achieved so much power that they could essentially have control over the government. The Cracken, taking hold of the U.S Capitol, The White House, State House, etc. Is an example of how much power John D. Rockefeller truly had. Ida Tarbell could have had this photo in her phone to discuss how he had a such a large monopoly over the country. With the help of her exhaustive journalism, it notified the government of what was happening. The government then intervened with The Sherman Anti Trust Act, and diminished Standard Oil.

It can be assumed that Abraham Lincoln, was Ida Tarbell's roll model. This is because she wrote three biographies about him: A Progressive Look At Lincoln, The Life of Abraham Lincoln, and The Early Life of Abraham Lincoln. She must have liked Lincoln very much, and looked up to him, if she wrote three books on him. She would most likely have him as a roll model, because on his morals of equality for everyone. Ida Tarbell, would want to keep in mind the idea of equality for all; especially the small business owners being monopolized by larger ones, and women's rights. Lincoln continues to inspire people today and back then, because of his desire of equality for all.
