Question

Read this section (paragraphs 6 and 7) from Flesh and Blood So Cheap to determine the structure the author uses to organize the text. Then answer the follow-up questions.

Workers, shouting, crying, and gasping for air, slowly made their way downstairs. There were no lights in the stairway, so they had to grope their way in darkness. A girl fell; others fell on top of her, blocking the stairs until firefighters arrived moments later. Yet everyone who took the stairway from the eighth floor got out alive, exiting through the Washington Place doors. Those on the ninth floor were not so lucky.

This was not unusual, as employers often locked doors to discourage latecomers and keep out union organizers. “My God, I am lost!” cried Margaret Schwartz as her hair caught fire. Nobody who went to that door survived, nor any who reached the windows.

Several text structures were used in this week's reading selection. Choose one that was used and provide evidence from the text that supports your answer in 3-5 sentences. Write in your own words and cite properly if using quotes from the passage
