Leap for Life, Leap of Death

Mostly a sumary again, "Leap for Life, Leap of Death" adds a more personal touch to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire with multiple personal accounts included in the article. Gruesome detailing of the incident is used with language like ""on lookers watched in horror as body after body fell to the earth". Not only does this quote show the lengths people went to to try and save their lives by jumping out the windows, but represents the reality of the time that there was no other option but jumping out the window to survive. I was especially taken back when Pauline Cuoio Pepe's personal account was talked about. She conveyed the majority of workers as young jewish women that were engaged. Their desperate attempts to make money and do better for themselves were smothered by the fire, spoiling any attempt at a future for them.
