In life, one comes across their fair share of closed, and locked doors. Sometimes the door slams shut just as you begin to cross its threshold. Sometimes you spend hours, days, weeks, months, and even years, hoping that by some miracle of chance the door will open. Yes, it's true some merely rot away waiting for doors that have closed, stuck in their same simple mindset that solves nothing. If only they would try thinking in new ways, because maybe then they’d be able to open it. But no, It’s the

The first piece of evidence is the lone gun hanging diagonally on the wall to the left of the door.

been locked. The owners locked these doors for multiple reasons. Being that the bulk of the workers were new immigrants who were living in poverty there was a plethora of thefts taking place. The immigrant workers would then sell garments or materials outside for their own profit.

As I was pouring it, I heard a gunshot and my brother scream bloody murder. I dropped the mil and
Lizzie Borden is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of slaughtering her father and stepmother in cold blood. She had very compelling motives for doing this. One of her motives was that she had a lot to gain, including upwards of $10 million in today’s money (“9 things you may not know about Lizzie Borden” p. 1), which would be like winning the lottery if she got the money by legitimate means. This would be very good for her because, even though her father had $10 million (in todays money), he didn’t

As I stepped through the creaky old doors I could see the windows were covered in dust, and in much need of cleaning.

Because the workers received low pay, they couldn’t support their family and provide themselves with basic needs. “Most factory women earned 1-3 dollars a day. A factory worker could not expect to receive decent pay(Entry 15).” This only proves workers had a hard time getting paid. Also, factories had locked doors and narrow hallways. If there was an emergency, the workers wouldn’t be
to the play is the "door [is] fitted with a bizarre collection of locks and bars" (3). The image of the locks is referenced a multitude of times within the duration of the play, as the two men, Black and White, sit at a table and debate the ways of the world. This conversation stems from Black saving White from committing suicide the previous morning and ineffectively tries to keep White from leaving to end his life.
