Week 2 discussion
The main themes of civil rights literature this week focused on worker’s rights, labor laws, and child labor laws. Focusing on just one (Ida Tarbell) of the writers featured in this week’s readings, identify a major theme or idea that stood out to you in this week’s reading selection? How did the writer impact his or her readers and make lasting changes to our laws (changes that still impact us today?). You could talk about tone, images, themes, etc that helped make an impact on readers both then and now.
As you write your response, consider what you noticed about the style of writing and how the writer connected with the reader.
Specific Instructions: Your initial post should be substantive and specific. Examples, questions, and original analysis and ideas are just some suggestions for how to respond to a discussion question. Please respond to at least 2 other students. Responses should be substantive and contribute to a discussion.
