Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Angela came to America from what part of Italy?

Answer: Sicily

Angela came to New York City with her Babbo (father), Mama, Luisa (aged 14 at the time), her brother Vito (aged nine at the time), and Teresa (aged four at the time).
2. Why couldn't Angela start at the factory on Monday, and had to wait a few days?

Answer: The shirtwaist orders didn't come in on time

Angela's mama wasn't very pleased at that news, because Babbo had injured his shoulder and was out of work, and rent was due soon.
3. Who showed Angela how to do her first job?

Answer: Sarah Goldstein

Sarah is a Yiddish girl who doesn't like how shirtwaist workers are treated.
Mr. Klein is the boss of the factory and treats Angela and everyone else cruelly.
Clara Ruben is Sarah and Angela's friend, her mother's only support for money.
Rosa is Luisa and Angela's good friend.
4. What did Mr. Klein say when Clara pierced her finger bone with a sewing machine needle?

Answer: "Get back to work!"

Of course, Mr. Klein doesn't care at all about what happens to his workers. He would never send a girl home and still pay her. And though he hates Sarah, he knows that she can't do two jobs at once.
5. Who declared the strike in the shop?

Answer: Ruth

Angela was sure that Sarah would call the strike, but it was a girl close to her station. Angela was still skeptical about the whole thing, and Luisa was against the strike.
6. Who did Luisa blame for Teresa's death?

Answer: Angela

She blamed Angela because if Angela had quit the strike and gone back to work earlier, Teresa would've been alive and well. Later on, she would blame herself for Rosa's death.
7. On July 7, 1910, what time did the cloakmaker's strike start?

Answer: 2:00 pm

According to the book, it started at 2:00 pm., but it may have started at another time. This time, Sarah called the strike.
8. What were Angela and Sarah doing when the fire at the Triangle Waist Company started?

Answer: Taking a walk in Washington Square

They were taking a walk when they heard "Fire!"

This is when the girls' lives changed forever.
9. How did Clara die?

Answer: She fell down an elevator shaft

Clara thought that the elevator was still there, but she fell to her death and landed on a dead girl.
10. In the epilogue, who did Angela marry?

Answer: Audenzio

Audenzio was originally married to Rosa, who died in the fire, but afterward, he got interested in Angela. Arturo would've been the perfect husband for Angela, since they got along so well, but he isn't mentioned in the epilogue. Alfio was Rosa's little brother, and he helped open a restaurant with Vito and Pietro, his brother.
