Woman whose husband was drafted
The situations described below. Taking on this perspective, compose a letter that includes at least five factual illustrations of life during the war. Number, underline, italicize, or somehow indicate your factual illustrations in the letter. Post this letter as a thread in the forum.
You are a woman whose husband was drafted. To make ends meet, you did what many American women, particularly those in more urban areas, did during the war. You got a job working in a factory which previously only hired men. During the war, the factory made armaments for the war. Now that the war is suddenly over and your husband is now home, he wants you to stop working outside the home. Write a letter to your best friend telling her how you felt about working and how you feel now about quitting. What are the pros and cons of the situation? Give both sides a hearing and then decide what you will do.
The pros of this situation were fairly evident as it gave me an opportunity to not only make some money but also learn new skills and gain valuable experience which has been quite useful even after the war ended.
However there are definitely some drawbacks that come along with working during wartime too. For example, wearing all those protective gear while on duty can be quite dangerous since most factories lack sufficient safety measures particularly when dealing with hazardous materials needed manufacturing arms ammunition ... Not mention moral implications taking part production weapons used kill innocent people .. Furthermore hours long tedious wages abysmally low leaving little energy family life especially tough having balance both responsibilities .
In short although there benefits obtaining employment under such circumstances risks involved must weighed before proceeding . On one hand sure have gained knowledge , increased confidence invaluable experience potentially providing better future generations yet cost too high due potential dangers mentioned earlier ... Having said decided quit given fact husband now home change position unnecessary anymore plus want focus more bringing children properly without added stress work entails hence why wrote share feelings considering dilemma faced ..
