                <text>I chose an article describing a club house in New York City. The way that the house is described makes it seem like a very high class place. I thought this was a place that fit the characters in the book because it doesn't only sound elegant but it is also located on 5th avenue. As most people know, 5th avenue is a well off place in New York City. So I associate a place like that with the majority of characters in this book. It's a place the people in The House of Mirth would be seen.</text>

                <text>“The A B C of Wall Street” is a book written by S. A. Nelson to describe many different aspects of Wall Street and the stock market at the time of publication.  Nelson writes chapters on the stock market, trading with stocks and bonds, trading specific commodities, the daily life of a stock broker, etc.  While there is no clear or direct goal of this book, other than to educate the reader on the basics of Wall Street, it does simultaneously make one fact very clear about the public of this time period: they did not know anything about Wall Street.  This financial market was regarded as mysterious during this time period, as Nelson pointed out in the first chapter.  Nelson recounts that “Many men seem to be unable to penetrate the mystery in which they believe Wall Street is shrouded.”  The financial lingo used in this infrastructure was seen as “financial facts clothed in strange technical terms.”  Clearly, if you were not a broker on Wall Street during this time period, you most likely had little to no idea of what really happened on Wall Street.  The stock market was also mainly for people who had money.  &#13;
&#13;
All of these things help us understand the time period better, because the social class discussed in the novel would have been highly involved (or wanted to be involved) in the stock market at this time, as Lily Bart attempted to do.  We know that Wall Street was regarded as mysterious and incomprehensible to many, which is probably why Lily asked Trenor to invest a small sum of money for her.  We also know that at the time, the stock market was primarily entered by those who had large sums of money to spend.  Lily’s awe and wonderment toward Wall Street was common among people of wealth in that time period.  It later became to be regarded as a place where investors could “make a sure dollar”, even though we know this not to be true, especially when 40 years later in the early 1940’s, the stock market crashed with the problems with the war, and the country entered “The Great Depression”.&#13;

Under the main waiting-room is the Suburban waiting-room, which is a little smaller.  The outward bound travelers do not see any of the incoming passengers.

                <text>This image is of a plan for a home to be built on Long Island in 1900. What is featured here is an original plan drawn by Brite &amp; Bacon, architect(s) and featured in American Architect and Building News. For years Long Island, New York was only able to be reached by boat, but upon the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, the people of New York gained increased access to Long Island. That, along with the newly developed Long Island subway and elevated rail system spurred a surge of population to the outer boroughs of New York City. By the early part of the 20th century, Long Island housed both immigrants spilling over from Manhattan, as well as the Manhattan elite of the time, seeking to build secondary and vacation homes. The plan featured here is of a house built for the latter and could be described as a rare find because very few architectural plans of that time included coloring.&#13;
&#13;
Long Island plays a roll in The House Of Mirth as the place where the Gromers, a family who lives among the elite class in Manhattan, are building their country house. This item depicts plans for a house that is very similar to that which this well-to-do fictional family could have been building in the early 20th century. These houses were some of the first fully electrically wired houses of their time, allowing Mrs. Gromer to “plunged into problems of lighting and sanitation,” as the novel states.</text>

The cruise ship the Sabrina is also in port here at the beginning of book 2. The picture here depicts a casino in the appropriate time period, which was a major calling card of Monte Carlo, which was an activity Selden and Lily Bart surely were attracted to, as Monte Carlo was famous for being a large gambling area. Monte Carlo also being a “loose” place, and major vacation hub, could contribute to Lily Bart enjoying herself and the “beauty” that surrounded her in the begging of book 2, chapter 2. It also may have helped contribute to Bertha cheating on her husband, which led Bertha to start to lie and manipulate Lily Bart, eventually making her a scapegoat.</text>

*The article was written much earlier than the novel, however the ideas depicted in the article are directly relatable to the novel. This is because the article comments on concerns about cost of living, which is also found in the novel. In addition, the idea presented by the article that more individuals might choose to live in boarding houses supports the large movement of characters from previous dwellings to boarding houses in the novel. The article is interesting because it is a look at the beginning of the movement of women living independently in boarding houses.</text>

Gerty Farish lives in a boarding house that is more expensive that Nettie Crane’s, however the article, “Something New,” is relatable to both homes. The article describes a group of families that agree to rent a boarding house together because the cost would be cheaper than for all of them to live in different houses. In addition, the article comments on the fact that living in a boarding house gives the tenant access to servants, fuel, and other amenities at a lower cost. Gerty Farish’s boarding house is directly represented in the article, “Gerty’s little sitting-room sparkled with welcome when Selden entered it. Its modest ‘effects,’ compact of enamel paint and ingenuity, spoke to him in the language just then sweetest to his ear” (Wharton 125). The welcoming feeling of the boarding house is also represented in Nettie Crane’s house. Both locations are warm and welcoming. In addition, the article goes on to state that more individuals may decide to live in boarding houses as time goes on. This idea is important because it supports the presence of many characters living in boarding houses in The House of Mirth. The article was written much earlier than the novel, however the ideas depicted in the article are directly relatable to the novel. This is because the article comments on concerns about cost of living, which is also found in the novel. In addition, the idea presented by the article that more individuals might choose to live in boarding houses supports the large movement of characters from previous dwellings to boarding houses in the novel. The article provides an interesting view of boarding houses as cost conscious, welcoming homes. </text>

                <text>In the novel, The House of Mirth, Lily Bart is forced to live in a boarding house because she has no money left. Lily is extremely depressed about living in the boarding house, “The day’s task done, she dreaded to return to her narrow room, with its blotched wallpaper and shabby paint; and she hated every step of the walk thither, through the degradation of a New York street in the last stages of decline from fashion to commerce” (Wharton 233). The boarding house and Lily have become very similar. Both have declined from wealth to poverty. The article, “Most Melancholy Occurrence,” also highlights this degradation from fashion. In the article, two wealthy brothers have succumbed to debt, as Lily has also. This shows that Lily’s situation is realistic. At this time many people declined from wealth and were forced to live in a boarding house. Furthermore, the two men in the article fell from fashion because of amounting debts. This situation is similar to Lily’s because she too is in debt. The brothers’ situation in the boarding house helps the reader to understand that boarding houses were a place for people in economic trouble. This would make the boarding house appear to be a sad and deteriorating place. In addition, the two men in the article later commit suicide because of their insurmountable debt and depression from living in the boarding house. This sheds light onto Lily’s death, “Perspective had disappeared- the next day pressed close upon her, and on its heels came the days that were to follow- they swarmed about her like a shrieking mob” (Wharton 262). This quote shows that Lily was feeling trapped and thought the only way to escape was by drinking a dangerous dose of sleeping medication. This further supports the idea that Lily committed suicide and did not accidentally kill herself. This view is supported by the suicide of the two brothers. Suicide was not an unknown occurrence in boarding houses. Therefore, Lily could have committed suicide like the brothers did because of debt and depression. The boarding house was not a welcoming place for individuals in debt. &#13;

                <text>This article, published in 1905, discusses the transformation of the Long Island railroad from using steam to being electrically-operated. Trains, during the time period of The House of Mirth, were the largest and fastest transportation systems that enabled people to travel longer distances in a faster amount of time. With this article, it expresses the time in which electricity was being utilized to create swifter, more durable transportation, versus in The Lamplighter when the greatest source of extended-distance travel was by boat on water. </text>
