Ashes of Roses Post # 6: Final Post

Quote #1: "We're goin' to die!"


Significance: I chose this short little quote because it tells us what troubles Rose got into in America. It shows how things happen so drastically. I think that in this quote it says something and grabs our attention because it as something to with possible death, but mostly I grabbed this quote because it shows how the  building caught on fire and it all just kind of happened really fast without knowing in the beginning. Like they just got done with work and they are all like, okay see you late, and then all of the sudden there is a fire. 

Connection: My connection would be like if you are going to run inside the house, but you actually ran into a glass screen door, then you realize that you ran into a door. The connection is that everything was fine until you hit the door, and like in the quote, everything was fine until there was a scream, and flamed appeared. 

Question: What do you think would happen next since they are trapped inside the building?

Quote # 2: " I have to find my little sister."

Significance: I just chose this quote, because to me, it helped me remember where Maureen was. I realized that Maureen started to work in the Triangle, now I wonder what has happened to her. I think that this quote relates to the challenges that Rose might have to face if she doesn't find her sister Maureen. I also chose this quote, because it tells us that she was so scared, that the thought of her sister being in the building too, didn't cross her mind.

Connection: I think that a connection could be ind of like when you are really scared you can't think, and that happens to me when I take big tests, but here in the quote I chose it shows how Rose wasn't thinking about her sister, because she was so scared she was just trying to get her self to safety first, because when your scared, nothing really comes to mind. I think not only when you help yourself, getting out of the mess you were in then do you think of the things you are missing, because you then have time to think.

Question: What do you think happened to Maureen?

for qoute#2:i liked how you said in your significance that you said that when you are really mad that you cant really think for yourself that you pretty much just say what ever comes out your mouth.

Question #1:I think that they will find an way to escape and get out before they die.


Question #2:I think Maureen still lived and survive the fire and she found an way to get out the building without Ma help.

Quote #1: I agree with you that this quote tells us what troubles Margaret Rose got into in America. I also agree with you that this quote shows how things happen so drastically. I also thought the fire happened really fast.

Question #1: I already know what happens next in the story but while I was reading it I taught Margaret Rose was going to die because she was just in the bottom of a little table. I also taught that probably Gussie was going to survive. At the end of the book Margaret Rose survives but Gussie sadly dies. Also at the end of the book a lot of people die because of the Triangle fire.

Quote #2: I agree with you that this quote relates to the challenges that Margaret Rose might have to face if she doesn't find her sister Maureen. I also agree with you that this quote tells us that Margaret Rose was so scared, that the thought being of her sister in the building too, didn't cross her mind.


Question #2: While I was reading the story I thought Maureen was going to die because she was suppose to go to the ninth floor to wait for Margaret Rose. At the end of the book Maureen survives and Margaret Rose finds her with Gussie’s dad.
