Defend the author’s claim that jane addams was a social reformer. include at least three examples from the passage.

1 the progressive era was a great period in american history during which social reformers sought to improve many of the ills that plagued society. from the 1890s until the 1920s, leaders of the progressive movement tackled issues such as poor living conditions, women’s suffrage, equality between the races, better working conditions, shorter work days, child labor laws, and food and drug safety. one need not wonder why historians often refer to the progressive era as the “age of reform”. jane addams, the co-founder of one of the first settlement houses in the united states, was one of the many reformers who strove to make america a better place during the progressive era.

2 born into a wealthy illinois family, addams received a good education including a bachelor’s degree from what became rockford college for women. she considered a career in medicine, but poor health forced her to leave her studies. at twenty-seven, addams traveled to london where she visited toynbee hall, a settlement house that provided important services to underprivileged citizens. the visit encouraged her to act on an idea already forming in her mind. she wanted to open a similar facility in a poor area of chicago.

3 in 1889, addams and her friend ellen g. starr opened hull-house. the two quickly recognized the needs of the neighborhood they served. they obtained from local wealthy citizens and raised funds to expand hull-house’s services. they nursed the sick back to health. they started kindergarten classes for young children and taught night courses (similar to the continuing education courses offered by colleges today) for adults. over time, addams and starr added a public kitchen, a gymnasium, a pool, a library, and an employment bureau.

4 in addition to hull-house, addams made other contributions to the progressive movement. she worked to improve education and even served on chicago’s board of education. she supported the women’s suffrage movement, which worked to gain the right to vote for women. addams advocated peace and refused to support america’s entry into world war i. she could not abandon her humanitarian ideals, however, and agreed to the war effort by supplying food and other necessities to women and children in enemy countries.

5 as a result of her efforts to improve the lives of others, addams received a number of awards and honors. perhaps the most impressive of those is the nobel peace prize, which she received in 1931.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
