We can't really do your research for youAnd you have to be careful of information sources hat are already heavily digested as they tend to dumb the information down too much and then your writings look so much like what you read that your work isn't considered originalYou have to write a short story about a Lowell girl? If you go to the Wikipedia page (HEAVILY digested) on the Lowell girls you will see at the bottom a list of references used to make the pageOne of them is: library.uml.edu/clh/mo.htm which then has it's own list of references and these are mostly 'original documents'Read a few of the letters written by the girls and read a diary or two and you will soon know who they were and be able to write a good storyBesides, what could be more fun than peeking into someone else's diaryThe Lowell machines were carding machines hat arrange cotton fibers so they all point the same way which is good for the next machine which is the spinning machine that turns fiber into yarn which goes to the loom which weaves the yarn into clothSurely these machines were dangerous, but look around on the UML web site and find the document that lists mortality for a single year in Lowell - you see lots of girls dying of disease, not injuryI'm thinking that the living conditions, bunk houses with poor ventilation, poor heat, bad food, long hoursMaybe write about life outside the mill, the time spent running the machines seems to have been the least of it.
