Uprising: A Historical Novel

Why is it a good novel? Uprising is a good novel for several reasons. First, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the Shirtwaist Factory Strike really happened. In addition, all the characters were based on the real life of those days. In the novel, we can know about the working conditions in the factories and even know how the immigrant people had to live. In brief, we think that this novel is outstanding as a young adult historical work of fiction. (Erika and Daniel)

  2. You must be sure to find this pattern in the literary elements, such as plot, point of view, character, setting, symbols, tone, and style.

  3. We read this novel already. It is interesting and informative, so we understand what are you talking about, but for any other people it will be hard to understand because it is very abstract. It needs to be explained more.

    1. You misunderstood. The characters were based on the real life of the time, but they were not real people.

  7. this is a good novel that I liked because it explained a lot to me about poor working conditions and womens rights. I liked the characters in this novel because I can relate to them as an immigrant.
