Mary Paul

As I said I would, I spent the last couple days looking into the normal lives of mill girls and their backgrounds. I looked through my stack of books again and found a book that I had skimmed and nit picked, and decided to look more closely at it. The Book I found is called FARM TO FACTORY. It follows the lives of 4 ordinary mill women through their letters and correspondence with family and then proceeds to discuss what each letter is about and what's happening at that time. When I first looked at the book back in Oct. I had decided to use the woman Mary Paul in my paper to catch the readers attention and then I decided to weaver her throughout the paper saying here and there what Mary might have thought about certain situations. I think that it keeps the paper alive and creditable.
The reason I'm saying all this is to let you know that it helps a lot to just go back over information; even if you think you might know everything about your topic and your paper is golden. I went back over FARM TO FACTORY and just one sentence got me thinking and helped me a lot this past weekend. It was a section I'd skimmed over the first time reading through the book and it was all about how the women were the crucial ones to the city of Lowell and how it was really them who began and ran the community, with of course the men steering them in certain directions based on how fatherly they were feeling. It really helps going back over and over materials. You never know what you might have missed. I'd start with the ones you didn't spend too much time on because you thought it didn't have any info that would be relevant to your topic other than a couple sentences.
