Long Answer
1. If shuttles are not placed properly, they can fly off the machine and injure a weaver, known as a “flying shuttle.” Shuttles can carry viruses and bacteria from the mouths of other weavers who use their lips to thread the loom—the “kiss of death.” The unventilated, low-quality air inside the sealed rooms of the factories creates an environment in which workers constantly inhale microscopic fibers from the textiles, causing a persistent cough. Oil lamps used in the factory in the winter, when natural light can’t enter the rooms, can create a fire hazard. (Various chapters)
2. They are forced to work for 13 hours a day, and many would like to work a maximum of 10. The overseers are paid based on the output of the employees on their floor, and as a result they speed up the machines to an inhumane pace. Girls who live in the boardinghouses are expected to attend religious services on Sundays, leaving them very little time off to rest or pursue their own interests. (Various chapters)
3. Lyddie grows from a responsible but unworldly young girl to a savvy teenager who knows what she wants from life. She learns through experience that many things are not what they seem, especially the factory job that she hopes will be her ticket to freedom and self-determination. She learns that people will exploit her if she allows them to, and that she cannot go back to her previous life once circumstances have changed. Through her friendship with Betsy, she learns the value of education, and she holds onto her dream of attending college even when she feels tempted to stay on the farm with Luke.(Various chapters)
