In the excerpt from Flesh & Blood So Cheap, read how author Albert Marrin describes Chief Croker (lines 261–265).
Next morning, March 26, Chief Croker returned for
another look. The only creatures he found alive were some
half-drowned mice. He picked one up, stroked it gently, and
put it in his pocket. The chief would take it home, he said.
“It’s alive. At least it’s alive.”
Next, read the description of Croker by author Zachary Kent in lines 1–7 from The Story of the Triangle Factory Fire.
In the days following the fire, city officials sifted through
the charred rubble at the Asch Building and tried to fix
the fault for the tragedy. Fire Chief Croker angrily stated,
“There wasn’t a fire escape anywhere fronting on the street
by which these unfortunate girls could escape.” Doors that
opened inward instead of outward, overcrowding in work
areas, and blocked exits also were to blame.
Compare these two passages. Explain how Chief Croker is portrayed differently in the excerpts. (Think about what both authors want to show the reader about Chief Croker.)
