The characters name means fortunate, but the events. in the story show that he isn't fortunate, because he gets sealed behind a concrete wall, so sadly he isn't fortunate even though that's what his name means.

In light of what you've learned about the Gilded Age, do you think the state government should have intervened and regulated con
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The state government should have intervened and regulated the conditions of the tenements in New York, as a way of promoting social equality and a good quality of life for any individual, in addition to preventing situations of crime and violence.

Explanation:

The Gilded Age was a time when the USA saw a great economic growth, mainly in the north of the country where the big industries were established.

As wages in the United States were much higher than wages in Europe, the United States began to receive numerous foreigners who immigrated to the country in search of work and a better quality of life. However, these people were highly exploited and subjected to inhospitable environments, the tenements.

The tenements were environments of extreme poverty, violence and precarious sanitary and structural conditions. This, in addition to promoting a terrible quality of life, left the city with a dangerous and ugly image.

The New York state government should have intervened and regulated the tenements, since it is the state government's obligation to promote and guarantee the safety and good quality of social life for residents of its region.

Why do the members of the squad stop talking about Jenkins after his death?-this is from the fallen angels-?
Galina-37 [17]
<span>After Jenkins's untimely death, Lieutenant Carroll leads the surviving soldiers in a prayer for him. He calls Jenkins a ‘fallen angel warrior,’ which is the basis for the title of the novel. Carroll explains that this description refers to the extreme youth of the soldiers - these are boys, not men, fighting the battles. The theme of youth and lost innocence is omnipresent throughout the novel. It is a product of Myers’ own experience in the Vietnam War and the fact that the average age of the soldiers who died in combat was less than 20 years old. Most of the men do not want to process the tragedy of Jenkins and what waits for them in this war.</span>
