library. There was potential for things to become dire if there was no swift response made. I take pride in the fact that I possibly saved the school some repair cost or even lives. This all leads to the biggest influence the book had on me as a professional. It influenced me to continue to be alert and aware of everything that is going on in the vicinity. Although I work in a facility that is equipped with high tech devices that can detect when there are problems, I will continue to take the initiative and ensure there are not variables that can cause problems. There are numerous times throughout the week where the system bugs and there are false alarms for minor problems.

Although this fire has had a huge influence on progression, by this time it was too late. The horrors from the event have since been a piece of American history. Preparing for the worst is the only way to ensure safety. If you do what needs to be done to prevent catastrophes from occurring there will be no need for reform.

This was mostly in part by the perspective he provides of families looking for their loved ones. In other instances where I have read or heard of the Triangle fire there is not much information provided on the victims and their families. They usually scratch the surface on the causes of the fire and the results of reform following the fire. Not much is provided on those directly effected by the fire itself. Drehle immediately engulfs you in the environment shortly after the Triangle fire. He eloquently depicts how hectic and emotional misery lane was. Revealing how relatives were forced to identify the charred bodies of their loved ones. How they were forced to inspect all the bodies just to find the smallest strand of evidence to identify their loved ones. This draws you into the book and keeps you hooked

Though there are countless wonders in this book, some areas could still use some work. For instance, right after Mackenzie’s daughter dies, the description goes downhill for a while and the intensity just drops, leaving the reader struggling to continue. After a chapter of this dull writing, Young picks up his description and storytelling once again. After reading this horrific story of a man losing his daughter, it seems to me, difficult to find a way to connect to the events and

The Great Depression was an economic crisis that affected the country for a decade and was challenging. Although both periods were concerned with creating better living conditions for the people and repairing the country after World War I, they had different views on government policies, the production of goods, and labor movements. Political reform during the Progressive Era was fixing the problems created by the industrialization of America. During this time, the presidents used government reforms to restore the country, which further corrupted the country and introduced more problems.

The book I am reading is called Fahrenheit 451 and it is a Science Fiction novel by the infamous author Ray Bradbury. This novel is set in a picture “perfect” parlor family world in the 1950s and is supposed to be a dystopian future where everything seems fine and perfect but it isn’t. It is supposed to seem like a utopian future but that idea is clearly discarded due to the fact that firemen do not put out fires anymore instead they burn books. The reason they burn books is because they cause ideas that could be happy but they could also be violent or rage a person so books are burned to “save” Mankind. The Main character is an employee or firefighter of the fire department named Guy Montag and he is a very curious and complex character that

I enjoyed reading this novel because it’s about a woman, Frances Ann Benedetto, who was abused, physically, emotionally and sexually, by her husband, Bobby Benedetto. This book is about her struggle of fleeing with her 10-year-old son, Robert Anthony Benedetto, who knows nothing of this abuse because his parents always tell him that her injuries are accidents. It also gives you a fitting example of how domestic abuse impacts you and the people around you. I chose this book because when I read the back I was intrigued as to what would happen to Fran and Robert.

The writing described the deaths and the Grievers very well to give you a hint of how it felt in the Glade. My overall response to the book is it was very interesting and even-paced.
