Chapter 11: Finding violet

nr77281 — 2025-04-24 13:40:59 UTC

Violet helps a woman who had fallen and was upset about losing her son in the war, and Violet gets angry about the way women have to sit in silence while men make decisions that affect them. It is unequal and unfair that women are not allowed to be a part of the decision-making process. We meet Miss Charlotte Rowe and she accompanies Violet from the train station to the hotel where she is staying. When Violet walks toward the entrance of the hotel, she is told by Miss Rowe that women use a different entrance at the side of the building. It is unequal that women and men cannot enter by the same entrance, and it is unfair that women have to enter at the side of the building, as if they aren’t important enough to enter at the front.

Chapter 9: Mr.Martin's escape

nr77281 — 2025-04-24 13:42:53 UTC

In Chapter 9, Violet and Myrtle realize that Mr. Martin is running away from the police. They don't know what he did wrong. Two men called Palmer agents tried to find Mr. Martin, and they question the suffragists about him and accuse the women of not being very intelligent because they are female. The two men treated the women like they were dumb. We see examples of inequality with the Jim Crow car and Myrtle being separated from the rest of the group. Another example of inequality is between men and women, we can tell the agents don't think women should get the right to vote.

Chapter 3:

nr77281 — 2025-04-24 13:59:25 UTC

Violet got to New York and found that the train station was big, loud, and confusing. She didn't know where to go, and didn't know how to ask someone for help. A policeman asked her why she was alone, and she ended up tricking him and pretending she had found her sister. She entered the busy New York streets and became scared because it was even louder and busier than the train station. She didn't know how she would ever find Chloe. Finally she fell down into the gutter, and a young girl named Myrtle helped her up. She was in New York to go to a training institute for girls who would become maids, and was 10 years old. Violet thought how they were similar, because Myrtle was being forced to be a maid, and Violet would eventually be forced to marry some day. They found a hot dog stand and ate in a quiet alley at the very end of the chapter.
