Chapter 3 question

Chapter 3
6 Only
6. Mattie's family background is an unhappy one. It is the early 1900's. When her parents died, young Mattie was left homeless and penniless, and her relations would not help her. Her health breaks under the strain of trying to earn a living. The only thing left for her to do is take work as a hired girl with Zeena and Ethan. Think about what would happen to uneducated girl today in the same circumstances. Make a list of four options that girl in the present day would have in order not to have to work as a maid for a relative. Be sure that each option is written in complete sentences. Then write which of the four options you feel would be the best one for a girl like Mattie. Explain why.

Answer: One-She could work at a fast food place
Two-She could work as a waitress in a resturant
Three-She could work at a clothing store or a movie place. (ex: american eagle, movies 10)
Four-She could work as a garbage pick up person or a janitor.


I think the best option for a girl like Mattie is to work in a clothing store because she seems like she would be a friendly person. She wouldn't have to do much but sort clothes, greet and help customers. Also it could possibly get her discounts on things(:
