Here is the explanation and code for the Shoe Factory example and Alex's Scribblings
Lynn, Massachusetts, 1895 Alone at your stations, you keep sewing in tongues, another girl's job-- hand-stitch the eyelets. How many pairs did it take to unlock the door, step into a dreamless twilight-- At a boarding house in candle dim, a bit of time to wash away grit, and worry: The foreman hired by owners on the hill, what will he take? How many stillbirths did you bury? Peaked, your own shoes worn through and not a dime to save, Taylor's way? All this kindled whispers and when hell could not be traded, your brave walked out into daylight. Men hired to knock billyclubs against auburn tresses said you spread backtalk against the boss, riled a strike. Who knew during taper hours you read Adam Bede and The Copperhead. The photo hides maimed fingers, bones bowed by rickets. After influenza, orphan-daughters owned no Sunday-best. They fashioned ladies' hightops and paid their mothers' debts. |
