Artifact 3 The newspaper article
BOOM! The cotton gin explodes in to flames. The luddites threw a bomb in to the cotton factory to protest industralization. The luddites are a group of textile artisans led by Ned Ludd.The movement began in Nottingham and has been spreading rapidly throughout England. The police and the government are powerless to stop these terrorists. The luddites have destroyed many wool and cotton mills accross England. The most scary is that these criminals have support from other members of the working class. Should the government keep thinking that everything is all the luddites fault? did the government thing about the reason why is there more and more luddites? people cried on the street because of lossing works, people throw things because of felling unfair about being fires with no reasons, more and more example to show how messy the England are now. This newspaper calls on the government to take action now, before it's to late!
Luddites won't detroyed machine for no reason! Machine take away their jobs, take away their lifes. The picture is just the very small part what luddies wants to tell everyone. Reflections

Artifact 4 Important women Florence Nightingale
About Nightingale
Florence Nightingale, the daughter of the wealthy landowner, William Nightingale of Embly Park, Hampshire, was born in Florence, Italy, on 12th May, 1820. Her father was a Unitarian and a Whig who was involved in the anti-slavery movement. As a child, Florence was very close to her father, who, without a son, treated her as his friend and companion. He took responsibility for her education and taught her Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, history, philosophy and mathematics.
Florence's mother, Fanny Nightingale, also came from a staunch Unitarian family. Fanny was a domineering woman who was primarily concerned with finding her daughter a good husband. She was therefore upset by Florence's decision to reject Lord Houghton's offer of marriage. Florence refused to marry several suitors, and at the age of twenty-five told her parents she wanted to become a nurse. Her parents were totally opposed to the idea as nursing was associated with working class women.

Florence refused to marry several suitors, and at the age of twenty-five told her parents she wanted to become a nurse. Her parents were totally opposed to the idea as nursing was associated with working class women. Florence then met Elizabeth Blackwell at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. Blackwell was the first woman to qualify as a doctor in the United States. Blackwell, who had to overcome considerable prejudice to achieve her ambition, encouraged her to keep trying and in 1851 Florence's father gave her permission to train as a nurse.
In March, 1853, Russia invaded Turkey. Britain and France, concerned about the growing power of Russia, went to Turkey's aid. This conflict became known as the Crimean War. Soon after British soldiers arrived in Turkey, they began going down with cholera and malaria. Within a few weeks an estimated 8,000 men were suffering from these two diseases. Nightingale volunteered her services and was eventually given permission to take a group of thirty-eight nurses to Turkey.

Nightingale volunteered her services and was eventually given permission to take a group of thirty-eight nurses to Turkey.
Nightingale found out that the soldiers were kept in rooms without blankets or decent food. Their uniforms were "stiff with dirt and gore". In that time, only one soldier died of six, most of the soldiers died from diseases, and it didn't surprise anyone.
Nightingale received very little help from the military until she used her contacts at The Times to report details of the way that the British Army treated its wounded soldiers. John Delane, the editor of newspaper took up her cause, and after a great deal of publicity, Nightingale was given the task of organizing the barracks hospital after the battle of Inkerman and by improving the quality of the sanitation she was able to dramatically reduce the death-rate of her patients.
In 1856 Florence Nightingale returned to England and have been treated as a hero, to spread out her opinions, she wrote two books Notes on Hospital (1859) and Notes on Nursing (1859). Nightingale have a very strong opinion on women's right, Nightingale had doubts at first about the wisdom of this campaign and argued that it was more important to have better trained nurses than women doctors. In later life Florence Nightingale suffered from poor health and in 1895 went blind.She then live for another 15 years in England before her death in London on 13th August, 1910.

Jill's personal opinions
The reason that I choose Nightingale is because I really impress her. She born in a wealthy family but still have the right to change the world. In 19th century, people think men are better then women, but Nightingale proved it's wrong. At begining she went to the hospital in Turkey, people teasing at her because people think she is too stupid that she think a woman can change the world. But then at the end, soldiers stop teasing her and started to impress her and love her. One time when she got a decease, soldiers were so worried that everyone prayed for her. I think if there's no Nightingale, even until now, nurse is still a work for poor people to do, so these are the reasons that why I like Nightingale and choose her for the Important woman in England.

SUMMARY
In London, a secret society led by lawyer Thaddeus Merrydew collects the assets of any of its deceased members and divides them among the remaining members. Society members start dropping like flies. Sherlock Holmes is approached by member James Murphy's widow, who is miffed at being left penniless by her husband. When Captain Pyke is shot, Holmes keys in on his mysterious Chinese widow as well as the shady Merrydew. Other members keep dying--Malcom Dearing first, then Mr. Baker. There is also an attempt on the life of young Eileen Forrester, who became a reluctant society member upon the death of her father. Holmes' uncanny observations and insights are put to the test.
___________________________________________________
Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with. He was quiet in his ways, and his habits were regular. It was rare for him to be up after ten at night, and he had invariably breakfasted and gone out before I rose in the morning. Sometimes he spent his day at the chemical laboratory, sometimes in the dissecting-rooms, and occasionally in long walks, which appeared to take him into the lowest portions of the city. Nothing could exceed his energy when the working fit was upon him; but now and again a reaction would seize him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night. On these occasions I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness of his whole life forbidden such a notion.
The reason I like it is because in many sherlock holmes story, it doesn't really decribe his personality, but this paragraph, it describe very well so it is my favorite part.
