January 16 Chapter 1
 * 1) I think the point of veiw is in the first person because there are " I's " in the story
 * 2) They told the people to go to the center of the ship because everyone wanted to see the Statue of liberty and that was cauasing the boat to tip and they had to get to the center so that the ship was not unbalanced or tip over board
 * 3) Marget Rose's tought that the statue of liberty was an amazing site to see but her mom wouldn't let her go see it and she thought that it was worth not listening to her mom to go and see it
 * 4) I think the last line means that THey are in America and that is what they wanted all along because what you order is what you want

Chapter 2 Chapter 3
 * 1) I think that Marget Rose was excited and didn't want to get checked by doctors and was anxious to get through the lines and off to thier new life in New York but when they found out about everyones heart sank and that killed the mood of everyone and everyone was worrying about if Joseph would even be ok
 * 2) When little Joseph was going through the inspection part and the eye checking part of it Joseph had Trachoma in his eye so he had to be sent home.
 * 1) The problem was that Joseph had to be sent home because of his eye disease Trachoma
 * 2) They solved the problem by having t hier dad go home with Joseph and then coming back to America leaving Joseph with his grandma to care for him
 * 3) Joseph's Grandma thinks as children as cabages all it is to it you have to keep pulling the weeds out (or in other words taking the bad out of them)
 * 4) I would not feel good about we move into a better place and already your family has to be spliten up when you just sailed a 14 day trip I would feel horrible

January 19 Chapter 4
 * 1) It was very hard on Rose's family because they lost a family member and they had to sneak on the boat to even get to America because Uncle Patrick wasn't thier to pick them up at Eliss Island
 * 2) Rose said that thier were trumpets playing in her head because she felt so spiecal and proud to finally be in America and that is where she dreamed of being.

Chapter 5
 * 1) Ma pulled them into a big crowd and started to talk to Rose as if she hadn't seen her in a while is because she knew that Uncle Patrick wasn't thier to pick them up and she also saw that one girl talking to the boat loader and they had to sent back if thier family member wasn't thier to pick them up so she acted as if Rose was her family member to get through to America
 * 2) Because when they got on the boat they started talking about that they been sent back could have been sent back because if thier family didn't come they could have been sent back like Joseph and just by her face.
 * 3) Rose thought that the streets were paved with gold because of all of the big buildings and homes that had all this furnature that was inside

Chapter 6 January 22 Chapter 7 > > Chapter 8
 * 1) The reaction was when they got to Patrick's house that they were unwanted because of his wife tried to shut them out of thier house and when she found out that they were going to stay with them she and her girls acted very rude and snotty
 * 2) I think that the main Idea of these chapters was getting to Uncle Patricks house and being unwanted guests to Patrick's wife and her girls.
 * 1) A Privey is a bathroom outside in a shed type
 * 2) By the way uncle Patrich's family talks about them behind thier backs and also how Elsa's girls and her react to them andthat they don't go to chruch
 * 1) Because they don't go to chruch anymore
 * 2) It means that she put on her shawl (scarf used as a sweater) very rapidly like a madatlor(the person who is on the bull for bull fighting)who is very fast and rapid

Chapter 9
 * 1) Because in Ireland they had a famine witch means that there was a shrotage of food and if they wasted it it would be like saying I'm so rich, I can afford waste food
 * 2) Because ma was mad that Uncle Patrich didn't fo to chruch and that ment that everyone had to obey her and if she didn't they would get yelled at
 * 3) I think that ma apoligized to uncle Patrich because she was worried that there would be no one talking and a lot of tension in the room and also because they are staying with them and if they got him mad they may have to get out of his house and rind another place to stay

Chapter 10
 * 1) I think that means that they would be embassasing her in front of her friends
 * 2) Rose's plan to help the family is to help her family by getting a job so that they can rent out an apartment because Uncle Patrich thinks of them as if they are so poor and they can't do any

Chapter 11
 * 1) A sheo maker- because she had no experience, a sales woman-because there was know job avalibe, a muffin shop-no room
 * 2) a peddler is some who travels and sells and a peatler is a person who puts petals togeather to make a flower
 * 3) someone who just arived in America
 * 4) I think that it was the best thing to do for her family to get a job but not the right thing to do in life

Chapter 12
 * 1) the main idea is starting the job as a flower maker
 * 2) A question I have is why did the muffin maker say that it was good pay if it is a sweat job

Chapter 13
 * 1) They were fighting over Rose's job being a sweatjob effecting Uncle Patricks job and how it's unsafe being there
 * 2) I think that she shouldn't because her boss is just using her
 * 3) it means bad behavor or unworth
 * 4) It means that would you be leaving early every day early

Chapter 14
 * 1) Trudy was mad at Rose because of the words that she said about her
 * 2) What do you mean, about what?

Chapter 15
 * 1) Because Elsa was home and Rose went to the sweat job but her mom said how was your walk so she knew that they were lying on the same page
 * 2) Because she wanted the flowers done and done the way that she was taught and fast before Elsa came home
 * 3) Because she didn't want her friend to see her cousins that were such an embarassment and that they took work home from a sweat job
 * 4) Because ma was just as mad as her and wanted to do the same thing

Chapter 16
 * 1) If I would have noticed the bad behavior I would have them stay and kick some people out a room and then everyone but Elsa and her kids would stay in it
 * 2) Ma started to cry because they had to leave Uncle Patricks house and I think that she didn't cry at her parents death is because she was prepared for it to happen
 * 3) Because he thought that there would be a better for the family and it was a richer country
 * 4) Because she was looking forward to it and she belives that there was a great future ahead of her in America
 * 5) Yes because if someone got scared they were there for eachother and it is like the buddy system

Chapter 17
 * 1) It was small and had warmth from the heater in the other room and it also had a window in it too

 * 2) The money because she needed it badly
 * 3) She leared that sweatshops are a bad place to work and also she needs to stand up for herself and not let anyone touch her

 * 1) Chapter 19
 * 2) Gussi was talking about thatstanding up for what you believe in and that would be getting Rose's pay and not to treat her like that and She is telling Rose the stories of strike so that she can see that they worked and how powerful they can be

Chapter 20
 * 1) When Rose and Gussie go back to the flower shop Rose is very nervous but then she started to stand up for herself and she got her pay and more because she was starting to say things that Mr.Moscovitz dosen't want the other girls to hear because it may end up they quit
 * 2) I think that Rose got strong is because she got mad and angry at what all happened in America and that all just came out and she was standing up for what she thought was right
 * 3) I think that Gussie said that meaning that she dosen't aprove of little kids working instead of getting education

Chapter 21
 * 1) So that Rose could practice for her job at the triangle

 * 1) Rose dosen't like elevators because she dosen't like how crowed it is and she thinks it is wierd going up in a moving box
 * 2) Rose didn't want to jump like her friends because she would die then and she thought that there was still a chance to live

Chapter 28 > and the elevator was slowing down and they knew it was the last trip so Rose and some other girls jumped down and laned on the elevator and that wieghted it down so it droped down and then firemen helped them get out to the ground.
 * 1) Rose got to the ground by first jumping from table to table to get out of the crowd like Gussie said to and then she went to help someone and then she met the Rose's and they said the only way out was to jump and then her friends jumped but Rose couldn't jump with them and then she went back inside and she had to get to the other side of the room to get to the elevator because it was the only way out, so she pored a buket of water herself and then went over the fire to get to the other side and she was worrying that she would die in the fire when she did this but she made it and pushed her way to the front to get to the elevator

Chapter 29 and 30
 * 1) Because she was the one who made them go or move up to the 9th floor and also because she pushed a bunch of people out of the way and Maureen and Gussie could have been in the group that Rose pushed aside to save herself
