Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a
reader understand the "League" mentioned in the first
sentence?
The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four
or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army,
utterly uriprepared for it. They had organized strikes in
the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a
single shop, but never before had they undertaken
something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be
laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John
Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew
this was the challenge they'd been hoping for their
chance to show the world they were more than highbrow
butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than
irresponsible little girls.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the word "bowled" in the second
sentence to conclude that they are a bowling team.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and "shirtwaist makers" in the last sentence
to realize they are the same group of women.
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the third sentence, which explains that
they "organized strikes in the garment trade."
O The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the "ILGWU men" in the last sentence to
note that they are both parts of the same group.
