Max is a Jewish art dealer that lives in San Francisco, California. Martin, Max's friend, and former business partner, moved back to Germany just as Hitler was coming to power. This book is written in letters back and forth between the two friends. 

Uprising and Address Unknown have many similarities and differences between the two texts. Some similarities include the time period and theme. Some differences are the topic, characters, and plot. 

They are both set in the same time period, the early 1900s. This was a time period of lots of immigrants coming to America. Bella and Max both came to America to start new lives. Both texts have the same theme, never give up. This theme is shown in Address Unknown because Martin has to live through the Nazis, which is a tough time. At first, Martin thinks Hilter is good for Germany. "I tell you truly, Max, I think in many ways Hitler is good for Germany, but I am not sure,"(17). This quote explains that Hitler gave hope to people in Germany because now they have a powerful government. 

Uprising and Address Unknown are very different too. These include the topic, characters, and overall plot. The topic is different because Uprising is about a fire and Address Unknown is about the Nazis. The characters are also different. Bella, Yetta, and Jane are friends that live together. "Jane lay in bed long after Bella and Yetta left for work," (212). This quote explains that Jane left home and is now leaving with Bella and Yetta because her father hired strikebreakers. Martin and Max are friends, but they live in different parts of the world, California and Germany. The plot is also very different for many reasons. They both have chapters that are with different characters' points of view, but the plot is overall very different. ]]> 2023-05-16 18:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2593499600 kennedy81 https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2593501435 Bella just came to America from Italy and gets a job at the Triangle factory. Bella is using the money she earns at the Triangle factory to send to her family back in Italy, yet does she know that her family dead right when she came to America? Yetta is from Russia, and she helps the factory workers go on strike. Jane is rich, and she becomes involved in the factory too, by going to some of the strikes. The factory goes up in flames when a worker's cigarette catches the shirtwaist on fire. Yetta died in the fire by falling off the building and the net to catch her broke. Also, Jane died because the elevator never came back and she was trapped in the building. Bella is the only one of the three girls that survived. At the end of the book, Bella is talking to Harriet, the girl Jane babysat, about the fire. Bella married Rocco, boy that she lived with, and had two girls, named Jane and Yetta.

In Uprising, Bella was trying to escape the building using the fire escape and it fell.

There is also a part where it talks about Clara Lemlich and how she had told the girls to go on general strike this also happened in the Uprising. '"It’s Clara Lemlich,” Rahel whispered,... I have listened to all these speakers. I have no more patience for talk,” she said as if she knew exactly what Yetta had been thinking. “I am one of those who feels and suffers from the things described. I move that we go on a general strike! Now!” The room exploded with cheers,"(108). ]]> 2023-05-16 19:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2593573644 girish6 https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2595095911 2023-05-17 18:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2595095911 gibson81 https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2596623958 How the fire started in the book was that the cutters were smoking and a spark fell into a scraps bin on the 8th floor. One thing that was wrong in the book was in the book they were no fire alarms that went off but in real life they were fire alarms. in the book, the firefighter ladder only reached the 7th floor and in real life, the ladder only reached the 7th floor. also in the book they are 2 elevators and it said that girls would jump in the elevator shaft this acutely happen and they broke the elevator with the weight. There are a lot of things in this book that are accurate. ]]> 2023-05-18 18:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2596623958 gibson81 https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2597640057 2023-05-19 13:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2597640057 girish6 https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2597869425 Are the characters in Uprising, accurately written?
The characters in Uprising are accurately written. According to aflcio.org, "The shirtwaist makers, as young as age 15, worked seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. with a half-hour lunch break. During the busy season, the work was nearly non-stop. They were paid about $6 per week. In some cases, they were required to use their own needles, thread, irons, and occasionally their own sewing machines. The factories also were unsanitary, or as a young striker explained, “unsanitary—that’s the word that is generally used, but there ought to be a worse one used." (Triangle Shirtwaist Fire) This was accurate to the book because in it Bella, Yetta, and Jane]]> 2023-05-19 17:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kennedy81/dj2dgakw3z6ep78c/wish/2597869425
