Max is Jewish and lives in America, while his friend, Martin, returned to Germany with his family. Max attempts to continue to believe in his friend in spite of Martin's indoctrination into the Nazi ideology. The book is similar in many ways to the focal text Uprising, while still maintaining its own uniquity. The book is told through letters exchanged by the two friends, with two separate perspectives, similar to Uprising was told through three perspectives. Additionally, the stories both focused on times before the event that gained its historical significance. The different time periods undoubtedly distinguish the two, but the identities and changes in character witnessed within characters differs between the novels. In Address Unknown Martin becomes a believer in the Nazi ideology, turning his back on his friend and what can be assumed as his former beliefs, while in Uprising the characters, for the most part, are in agreement on the major issues within the book. Martin's original traits, as an outside observer, could be interpreted as being somewhat open minded due to his close relationship with Max. However, in the state of Germany at this time, these traits would lead to his ruin, resulting in a drastic change seen within the character. ]]> 2023-05-17 11:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2594613601 Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2594833153 2023-05-17 14:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2594833153 Summary https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2594833940 In Uprising, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, the main characters, Yetta, Bella, and Jane, all from different backgrounds but come and fight for the same goal, to end the suffering of factory workers. Yetta, an activist for factory workers' rights and a worker at the Triangle Factory, always stood against society if she needed to, and Bella, a young Italian girl who came to America to support her family, understood the importance of what Yetta was fighting for her and adapted her same traits against society. Jane, a wealthy girl who realized what kinds of experiences factory workers were going through, joined a union with Yetta and Bella to fight the community. Their lives intertwine until the end when the Triangle Factory goes up in flames, and Yetta and Jane die from helping others. Bella lives to tell their tale.]]> 2023-05-17 14:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2594833940 "Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire" by geneologytrails.com noteman3 https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595099832 2023-05-17 18:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595099832 Quotes https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595107724 "Yetta didn’t answer that, because it had been just her and Rahel and three or four others" (Haddix 19).

“I am finished, Jane thought, but it wasn’t like she was giving up. Giving up would have been marrying whatever boy her father picked out for her, drinking tepid tea the rest of her life with women she didn’t even like. This was more like a blaze of glory, seeing all her choices tallied up, seeing what her life had meant”(Haddix 304).

However, this resource revealed an inaccuracy within the book. The Blanck daughters present during the fire were named Henrietta and Mildred, Henrietta was twelve years old and Mildred was four years old at the time of the fire.]]> 2023-05-17 18:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595151816 "LOUD" by Sofia Carson noteman3 https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595155220 2023-05-17 18:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595155220 noteman3 https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595156094 "LOUD" by Sofia Carson concerns the loud manner of the singer. Especially as a woman, though better in current times, this trait is often unappreciated. This connects to the question of character traits in opposition to the expectations of the time. The song begins by mentioning the previously non-confrontational disposition of the singer, the protagonist of the song. The procession of the first lyric suggests that the protagonist begins to chafe against such meek manners. However, the most apt part of the song for this question is the refrain. "Are you getting uncomfortable now? I'm a little too loud for you now? Don't try and calm me down, I was made to be LOUD" (Carson). This connects to the essential question, as it details a trait of the singer that is not appreciated, the fact they are loud.]]> 2023-05-17 18:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2595156094 Summary https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597013130 The article “Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire” by Genealogy Trails compiles multiple newspaper stories written about the fire. The first stories were about the buildings' conditions before and after. Some of them included why it was an important event in history. Later on, they go into the details of the people involved in this fire, including the owner of the business and his family, the workers who died, and stories from people who survived. The police investigated every dead body found and identified it so their family and close ones knew what had occurred to the victims. ]]> 2023-05-19 02:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597013130 https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597046584 2023-05-19 02:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597046584 "The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire" by John Sloan https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597057318 2023-05-19 02:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597057318 Summary https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597078906 Sloan created this drawing for a Socialist paper, the New York Call. There was controversy, which is why it is an important piece. It was first published on March 27, 1911, and now resides in the Delaware Art Museum. The words “rent, profit, interest,” inscribed in the triangle represent what Sloan believed were the factors held responsible for the tragedy. The dagger in the form shows how the law would not protect the poor workers and how they’re also held reliable for this event. ]]> 2023-05-19 03:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597078906 Connection https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597733213 This artwork represents the historical occurrence of The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, recorded in many newspapers with drawings and stories. This artwork was one of the drawings released, and it represented what the artist thought were the larger forces responsible for the tragedy and the struggles of working in the factories at the time. It reveals what the workers went through to create safer laws that protected them while they worked. These struggles and the fight in the artwork represent the traits all of these workers had that collided with the expectations of the era. The only way they could make a change is if they changed themselves against society.]]> 2023-05-19 15:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597733213 noteman3 https://padlet.com/noteman3/khz8bsukus758sqs/wish/2597881570 “LOUD.” Performance by Sofia Carson, YouTube, YouTube, 24 Mar. 2022, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE9xKyJkq80&t=1s.
