    Summary of Bread and Roses Too

    The novel, Bread and Roses Too, is a story written by Katherine Paterson in 2006. This book takes you through the hard life of a young child, named Rosa, during the Bread and Roses strike of the mill workers of 1912. This story took place in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and displays the different hardships that had to be overcome the Bread and Roses Strike. Rosa is a young child who is living through the highest peaks of the strike of the mill workers, and she is not sure what to think of it. Confused by all the commotion, she stays close to her most authoritative figure in her life, her mother. When Rosa figures out that her mother is approving and supporting this strike, Rosa has concerns for her mother and why she is doing what she is doing. In response, Rosa creates her own strike against going to school to show her mother that if she continues to strike, then Rosa will continue not to go to school. Working and getting a good education were two very important things Rosa’s family valued, so it seemed very easy to Rosa that she would be able to get her mom back to working by striking against going to school. When this didn’t even make Rosa’s mother think about going back to work, Rosa realized this is a much bigger problem that she first imagined. Through out the story, Rosa meets different people and friends that would help her outlast the rough and dangerous conditions in Lawrence during the Bread and Roses strike of 1912. Rosa will try to find what is best for her, her friends, and most importantly her family.…

    Essay

    Yolen seeks in Briar Rose to explore the universal human nature of courage and strength by an individual through testing times. The character of Josef is introduced not only to help Becca learn more about Gemma's story, but as a reflection of the power an individual can have to show courage in a traumatic time. In Josef's case he demonstrated courage in rescuing Gemma as a selfless act and surviving the experience of the Holocaust. Yolen conveys Josef's courage and strength also in his ability to befriend Becca. The use of a dual narrative heightens Josef's sense of courage drawing from the fairy tale motif of the 'Knight'. This characterisation of Josef continues, in the brutal face of the Holocaust as "he was not afraid, he had no fear left" demonstrating Josef's sense of strength and will power in the face of death to survive. Josef's humble sense of character is explored when he expresses his views on heroism and courage "we were all heroes of the moment" further emphasising that he believed it was just basic human…
