Equality in Lyddie by Kathrine Paterson

Since the early days of the Earth, equality may be one of the most controversial concepts afflicting human society, community and nation. Everyone deserves the same level of respect and acceptance, but no matter how attractive the idea is. Regardless of the situation, there are always factors that influence how humans treat each other (ie economic situation, previous slavery method, personality etc). Even if you try to understand your feelings, thoughts, and history as others, this is a foolish idea.

In Katherine · Patterson's novel "Lyddie", the hero worked at a textile factory in Lowell, Massachusetts, after his family farm had a lot of debts. Lyddie works with a girl named Diana who tries to make Liana sign the petition to reduce work time and better working conditions. Lyddie knows whether she signed the petition and may be fired and on the blacklist. This means that no other company will hire her. Lyddie has to make a hard decision as to whether to sign the petition. Some say that it is stupid not to sign because her work environment is very strict. Lyddie should not sign the petition, as she may be blacklisted and she may not be able to go after signing the petition.

In Katherine · Patterson 's novel "Lyddie", the hero went to Lowell to work at the factory. They had to work for 14 hours, there was dust and lint in the air, which made the workers sick. Before she left, she was on the farm, because they had no food, her mother and sister went to their aunt and uncle's house. Lyddie and Charlie were sold. Lyddie was fired for the butler, because of poor working conditions and long working hours she went to work at Lowell, and they pleaded to those who wanted to sign. Lyddie has to make a hard decision on whether to sign. Some people think that if Lyddie did not sign a petition because her friend was ill for a long time, it would be a foolish thing.
