Answer 1

When Jane Addams first opened Hull House in Chicago in 1889, she became the first person to establish a settlement house, or social welfare agency, in the city. For over 40 years, Addams lived at Hull House, supporting the neighborhood’s working-class immigrant population. In doing so, she provided a vital service to a community that was otherwise generally neglected.

Early Days of Hull House
When Addams and her friend Ellen Gates Starr first conceived of the idea of Hull House, they had no idea what it would eventually become. At first, the pair merely intended to teach art and literary classes at the settlement house. However, at the request of neighborhood residents, Hull House expanded its offerings to include classes in English, along with practical skills like sewing and cooking. The settlement house also offered daycare services. Many women in the neighborhood worked in factories, but they couldn’t take care of their young children as well as work. As a result the women were forced to leave their children home alone. Hull House’s daycare center helped relieve families of some of the struggles related to childcare.

Hull House Expands
Hull House originally consisted of just one building. Eventually, though, it grew to include 13 buildings and a camp in nearby Wisconsin. As part of this expansion, the settlement house was able to offer a wider variety of services. Hull House consisted of a kindergarten, public baths, a communal kitchen, a playground, a library, an art gallery, and a salon where people could engage in political discussions.

Social Reform
Hull House not only created an environment in which immigrants could learn and socialize, however. It also served as a place where reformers could gather and put their theories into practice. Addams and her colleagues drew a direct link between poor living conditions and crime. Poverty-stricken children were often hungry or cold. As a result, they would sometimes steal food and coal.

These crimes could lead to harsh jail sentences for the children. To combat such a turn of events, Addams helped establish the first juvenile court in the country. If youths were found guilty of committing a crime, they were either assigned probation officers or sent to a detention facility instead of a prison. In this way, Addams helped keep young people out of jail.

The reformers succeeded in bringing about change at the national level as well as the local level. Besides assisting in the passage of a statewide Illinois law in 1893 that banned child labor, for example, the reformers also helped establish the Federal Children’s Bureau in 1912. And in 1916, they got a federal child labor law passed.

When Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr first opened the doors to Hull House, they couldn’t have imagined the profound impact it would have. Besides teaching the community useful and practical skills, the women also gave its residents two irreplaceable gifts: dignity and hope.

Answer 4

Jane Addams was one of the most important American social reformers of the 19th and 20th centuries. During her life Addams worked diligently to promote both human dignity and pacifism throughout the world. In doing so, she left a lasting mark on society.

Addams was born in Illinois in 1860. Her mother died just a couple years later when Jane was only a toddler. Addams’s father, an Illinois state senator and a friend of Abraham Lincoln, had a great influence on Jane. His sense of ethics guided her throughout her life.

In 1881, Addams received a degree from Rockford College. That same year, Jane’s beloved father died. Addams spent the next few years ill and unsure of what to do with her life. She spent a short time at the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia before traveling to Europe and Baltimore for the next four years. At the end of this time, she still hadn’t found a position for herself.

It wasn’t until Addams made a trip to London in 1887 that she finally found her calling. Along with her former college roommate, Ellen Gates Starr, Addams visited Toynbee Hall. Toynbee Hall was a settlement house in London’s Whitechapel district, a very poor area of the city. The settlement house provided support and assistance to people living in the community. The women’s experience became the inspiration for their eventual establishment of Hull House in Chicago. Hull House was a settlement house designed to help the city’s newly arrived immigrants in a variety of capacities.

Assisting immigrants wasn’t Addams’s only contribution to society, however. She also worked hard on behalf of women and workers. Addams took part in the women’s suffrage movement, working to secure a woman’s right to vote. She also promoted an eight-hour workday for women and served as the chairwoman of the International Congress of Women. In 1920, Addams helped found the American Civil Liberties Union.

Addams also spent a great deal of her life championing the cause of world peace. In 1907, she wrote Newer Ideals of Peace .She also founded the Women’s Peace Party and later served as the chairwoman of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, which had evolved from the Women’s Peace Party.

Though Addams’s outspoken criticism of World War I resulted in a strong backlash from those who saw it as unpatriotic, Addams eventually was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 for her work on behalf of worldwide peace.

Though it may have taken young Jane Addams several years to find her place in life, she more than made up for it. By the time of her death in 1935, Addams had made a profound impact not just on her neighborhood in Chicago but on people throughout the world.

Answer 25

Just gonna say I kinda disagree with your answer or should I say add onto the answer..




How I think the answer should be, and that it should be explained a little more:

In the text, (Idk which is which so I'd say the first text u posted) it only mainly describes the reasons why Jane Addams created the "Hull House". As stated in (first source you posted), "Addams lived at Hull House, supporting the neighborhood’s working-class immigrant population. In doing so, she provided a vital service to a community that was otherwise generally neglected.", "Hull House not only created an environment in which immigrants could learn and socialize, however".This evidence states that one reason why the full house was originally created was due to the fact that Jane wanted to help the immigrants of her community. She did so by helping support those in her community that worked jobs and couldn't do some things because they had a tight time schedule.So it basically only talks about how and why she created the entire "Hul House" to be a safe environment as a place where those in her community could learn new things, and so she could help as much as she could to relieve the problems of some people's lives and help others. The second text,(The other "2nd text" text u posted) mainly only talks about Jane Addams's personal life achievements improving america and hard times in her life.It states in (the second source u posted), "Addams received a degree from Rockford College. That same year, Jane’s beloved father died. Addams spent the next few years ill and unsure of what to do with her life. ", "Assisting immigrants wasn’t Addams’s only contribution to society, however. She also worked hard on behalf of women and workers. Addams took part in the women’s suffrage movement, working to secure a woman’s right to vote.".Later in Jane's life, she lost her father one of her greatest influences but also during that time she received a degree from Rockford College. After her father died she was really not sure of what she would do with her life. Her father was her inspiration and main motivator; he was now dead. This was one of her biggest hardships she faced during her lifetime. The evidence also talks about how she not only worked with immigrants to give them a better life but she also worked hard in the rights movement of women and the suffrage movement for women. So, in conclusion, this passage only has details about the hardships of her life and some achievements in her life that made a big impact on the changes of America.
