Question

3. "I'm worn out, Amelia. We're all worn out,"Betsy says. (p. 91)

To whom is she referring? Why are they "all worn out"?

Answer 1

Why are they “all worn out”? Betsy is referring to the women who work in the mill. They are “all worn out” because the company has speeded up the machines and put each worker in charge of more machines.
