    1. I agree that one looked at the positive and one looked at the neagtive, but i think that the negatives needed to be fixed in order for everyone to be happy.

  2. 1)Andrew is for Capitolism. Fredrich is for Socilaism.
    2)She has a very good boarding place, and she also has enough food to eat.
    3)They would think that socialism is stronger and better. It would make them think that people would rather be in capitolism.

    1. I agree that the picture depicts socialism as being stronger.

  3. 1) Because Andrew was looking through the eyes of a multimillionaire. Friedrich was a manager of a textile industry and had seen all of the city slum and the bad parts of industrialism. Andrew has an easy life in the better parts of industrialism.

    2) Because she is a girl and girls didn't get as much working rights as the boys did. She was happy with her job because she has good opportunity in the spinning room. She feels equal.

    3) Because capitalism was seen as evil while socialism was rescuing. People might take that seriously and leave capitalism for socialism.

    1. I think that it is cool that Mary got treated well. Not very many women did, and i think that it was a big step in their life.

      Delete
    2. i agree with you first point. When you are on the positive and of the problem it is hard to see the negavtive effects.

    3. I agree that Andrew was looking through money basically. Very good Karni!

      Delete
    4. yes it was good that mary had a good experience working in a factory.

      Delete
    5. I totally agree with the answer to the first question. I too believe that the benefits that Andrew had caused him to miss everything else that was going on around him. The money made him lose track of everything else.

  4. Andrew Carnegie had alot of money and was a rich man and saw the postivie sides and the profits. Friedrich Engels sees the negative sides that the workers face.

    Her work place is kind and she gets compliments from her boss and other workers.

    It shows capitalism as a good thing, a positive and stronger point.

    1. Wouldn't it be socialism that would be the positive point here? Since the angel is supposed to represent socialism coming to the rescue

      Delete
    2. It is showing Capitalism as a bad thing and Socialism as the more positive point.

    3. If capitalism is a good thing in that cartoon, then I'm sure being eaten alive isn't all that bad either. I'd take an angel of salvation over a carnivorous bat any day.

  5. 2) 1)Andrew Carnegie said America will be competing in the market and they will end up with the best market. They will use the means of production as an advantage and the money they get for it will only cover the prices for them. Friedrich Engels said that nobody cares about the poor people as they are not doing good in the new industrialized life. The rich may be able to find a job. The wages of a worker are very low and they can hardly pay off. If the person can't find a job then they are left to starve.

    2) Mary Paul worked in a textile industry. Her overseer probably is in a socialistic economy. The workers are treated fairly rather than poorly in a capitalistic economy.

    3) The political cartoon may be useful because bats are commonly known as evil or bad animals. Angels are always a sign of peace and love. In this cartoon if a bat is eating a guy, that is bad, while an angel is over the bat. It will make people think that the angel is coming to save the people. In other words that socialism is coming to save everyone from capitalism.

    1. I agree with everything you said. You put it in a very logical and understandable way.

    2. i like how you put that the bats are known as evil and the angels as good. I agree with everything you said.

      Delete
    3. That is exactly what the picture is depicting. :) He was obviously completely for socialism.

      Delete
  6. 1) Carnegie thinks that the great advantage that America has is competing in market and Engels thinks that no one cares about the poor and he talks about how hard it is to find a job.

    2) She enjoys it because it is a new experience for her and a right for women to work.

    3) They did not agree with capitalism and thought that it was harsh. The people work long hours and dont get paid well.

    1. I agree that Mary Paul loved it there because it was something new. Also her right to work was very exciting.

      Delete
    2. I also agree that Mary Paul like it because it was something different for her to try.

      Delete
  7. 1. They would disagree because Andrew talked about the optimism growth of american industry and Freirich authored the communist manafesto.
    2. Her resons for mary's satisfaction would be because she had good working conditions, enough to eat, and thought it was the best place for her.
    3. This cartoon might be useful because it shows that socialism conquers over everything else like capitalism.

    1. The girl sounded like she had a pretty good life indeed!

    2. That girl was happy as a textile worker. Most people of the time wouldn't have been so satisfied with their work.

      Delete
  8. 1) They see the problem with the jobs differenly. Engles is seeing the down side of the industrilization and Carnegie is somewhat oblivious the all the down sides.
    2) Her job is not like most of the other jobs. She gets enough to eat and is treated well with a good boarding place. Her working conditions are good and kind.
    3) The cartoon is showing that Capitalism is just sucking the life out of the laborers. It also depicks that Socialism is there to try to save the laborer from the harm of Capitalism. Due to the fact that is it showing Capitalism as killing and Socialism as the angle saving them the people would think that Socialism would be the way to go if they want saved.

    1. good explanation of the cartoon erin! that definatly explains this all.

      Delete
    2. Thats so true!!! Capitalism did take over the people and took away everything they ever did work for.

      Delete
    3. Im glad that she got enough to eat. It was very rare for women to have a good experience working.

      Delete
  9. 1.) Andrew Carnegie was a wealthy man that saw all of the profitable parts of the Industrial Revolution instead of the negative effects that Friedrich Engels sees for the working class.

    2.) She had a "very good boarding place," "enough to eat," and the girls there were "all kind and obliging." These factors may have contributed to her happiness.

    3.) The bat representing capitalism is feasting upon the body of the common worker. The angel of socialism may be seen as the working class's salvation. If they strove for socialism, they may have better lives.

    1. Mary paul also got alot of oppertunities and alot of independence from going and working at lowell.

      Delete
    2. i agree with number 3...people in capitalism only care about themselves

      Delete
  11. 1. Andrew believed that having a competing in the markets of the world will be its biggest benefit. Friedrich thought that when their is a capitalistic country workers die and go broke, loose money and have no way of keeping afloat with the middle or even lower classes.

    2. Mary finally gets to have a job and be independent. She finally gets a chance to show men that she is capable and willing to work hard.

    3. Capitalism will kill you. Capitalistic countries will work you and not give you what you need but if you join the socialist group they can give you a better life and you can have no battle for wealth over the government.

  12. 1) Andrew Carnegie just see's money coming to him while Fredrich see's the workers getting over worked. And not getting the fair share.
    2) She is satisifed because she is being treated fair and has a nice place to stay with also good food.
    3) The bat representing capitalism is saying captalist people only care about themselves while socialism cares about everybody and wants everybody to be treated fairly.

  13. 1) They probably dissagree with industrialization because poeple were not happy with it. It made everyone work more or they lost their jobs. People that worked too much never got paid much either.
    2) Mary likes the work because not many girls could find a job. She was lucky enough to get the job let alone have good pay and enough to eat everyday. She says she likes the work and not many girls get along with the job but people tell her that she does.
    3) The cartoon shows someone dying and an angle coming to save him. i think this will persuade people to rally for socialism beacuse its showing that no matter how hard it gets there will be a happy ending.

  14. 1.) I think Andrew Carnegie was probably for capitalism, whereas Friedrich Engels was totally for socialism. Andrew believed that it was perfectly okay for the people to work hard for their keep, but Friedrich thought that it was mean to the people. He wanted the money and goods to be divided among the people equally.

    2.) Mary Paul probably was tired of just sitting around and doing the normal housewife kind of things and not being able to do what the men did: truly work. She was actually earning money and finally wasn't stuck at home doing the "normal" things. Her boss also was very pleased with her work, so that made her even happier.

    3.) It may show people that capitalism (as he views it) is slowly eating away at mankind and its freedoms and fairness. It might allow people to see that socialism could save all of the people and prevent those terrible things from happening. Everybody would receive equal amount of money and such. It also says that the workers are being worked too hard and being treated unfairly.

    1. I think you're right about mary being tired of being a house wife.

  15. 1) Andrew believed in helping the workers get better treatment, while Friedrich was more towards the helping the actual person with their hunger or finicial home needs.
    2)She has a nice comfortable place to work in, gets paid fairly, and gets plenty to eat.
    3) Capitalism was basically killing the workers off and sucking them dry. while socialism was like a savior for the average workers.
