There was no fire safety rules implied and forced and also there was doors that opened inwards so when they were all crammed in a small space trying to escape they couldn't open the door because there was to many people in the way of the door. There was one stairway they had but it lead down into a fenced in yard and the door to the yard was wooden so it would feed the fire even more. Those are some reasons why he could be responsible for the factory fire like the inadequate safety laws, but in contrast, the fire department could be also. The fire department didn't get there fast enough and they're ladders were too short.
Remembering the Triangle Shirtwaist fire Disaster hit March 25, 1911 at 4:40 pm at the Triangle Shirt Waste Factory when it caught on fire by a cigarette bud or burning match. The employees were mainly young women and girls of Italian and Jewish decent and 146 died that day. The workers wanted out of the building but one of the doors was locked in the stairwell. Speculation was that Isaac Harris locked the door. Some of the women and girls jumped off the building and out the windows to trying to survive which was interfering with the firemen trying to put out the fire.
Around the time 10:15 P.M. The Ignition of synthetic palm tree decorations is what is believed to have started the raging fire but it was never proved. There are many theories on what happened, but the ignition of fake palm trees by a match is believed to be the case. The main suspect Barney Welansky, had locked exits, concealed others with draperies, and even bricked up one emergency exit to prevent customers from leaving without paying] Coincidentally, on the night of the fire, he was
Joseph Awe the owner of a pub in Harrisville WI. On September 11 2006 a fire was started at the pub while Awe was at home about 30 miles away. After extinguishing the fire, firefighters labeled Awe as a suspect and the fire was not listed as an accident. The insurance company that was handling the case hired a fire investigator to help determine if the fire was an accident. If the fire was deemed an accident the insurance company was liable to pay at least $200,000.
I, myself, can think of many possibilities of what caused the fire. One possibilities could have been that he was making something on the stove and didn’t notice and/or didn’t smell something weird. Another possibility is that the smoke detector
Another result of the fire was the creation of the American Society of Safety Engineers. Which was Designed for all buildings to fall under the code to make them safer? The American Society of Safety Engineers did just that, and there has not been any other building tragedy fire not caused by arson as severe as the shirtwaist fire. I will now like to return to the original question.
The Triangle Shirtwaist building was reported to be fire proof. So what fueled the fire? Isaac Harris and Max Blanck owned
In the story, When a Southern Town Broke a Heart, Jacqueline Woodson uses a variety of symbolism and metaphor to show that when you get wiser, your perception of things change. One example of Woodson conveying this theme is when she writes, “When the deep green beauty revealed my place and time in history and laid claim to that moment all children know, when the tendrils of adulthood move toward us, showing themselves long before we are ready to see.” This quote describes when she realized the nostalgia of her home was masking the bitter and unfortunate side that “adulthood” is showing her. This directly relates to the theme because as she becomes wiser and more experienced, (the tendrils of adulthood) her perception changes. (showing themselves long before we are ready to see.)

On February 15th 2018 Rita Panahi published an opinionated newspaper article for the Herald Sun all about gender based and gender-neutral words. People kind is the last word in stupidity is written to show us how “ridiculous” and “unacceptable” the word mankind is and how people kind is more “inclusive”. This article started out as mocking and sarcastic but ended as a more serious and attacking tone. This is aimed at young and middle-aged adults, because of the references to Kim Kardashian and Zoolander as some older people wouldn’t understand it.
We watched the movie Harold and Maude in class because it shows ritual which is which is a commonality of all religions. Harold is ritualistic in his suicide enactments he prepares for each one with the seriousness of a real suicide attempt. His mother is weary of her son’s dramatics and tries to make him normal through serial dating, introduction the military, counseling with a psychiatrist and buying him a car to match their level of affluence. Trying to be normal from day to day can take ritual effort. Finding meaning in this movie is most difficult I feel like I’m pulling on loose ends.
Nellie Bly was the penname of Elizabeth Cochran Seaman (1864-1922), a trailblazer in the field of investigative journalism, not just for the fact she was a woman but due to the nature of her work. Bly was known for breaking down gender barriers and taking on daring assignments. Her most famous work was “Ten Days in a Mad-House," published in 1887, her full account of how she went undercover to reveal the harrowing conditions and abuse facing the patients of the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island in New York City. Her work inspired significant reforms in the treatment of mentally ill patients and helped to advance the women’s rights movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While Nellie Bly’s groundbreaking work “Ten Days in a Mad-House" was considered atypical for the 19th century, it remains significant and relevant due to the impact her work has had on social reform efforts, journalism, and the continuing struggle for the rights of the mentally ill.
Liquid Death “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl. What makes this story such a great mystery is the way Dahl makes the characters, the characterization in this story plays a big part in this story. The setting affects the mood as soon as the story starts. In one of the first sentences Dahl describes the air as, “deadly cold”. That creates a pretty dark and hostile mood.
