The writer states that children enjoy spending time with their aunts and uncles
love watching the sea at night when it's stormy
make no effort to find out the names of plants and animals
are often not allowed to experience the same things as her nephew
keep memories in their minds in the way adults keep photographs
The writer admits that the experience with her nephew when he was 20 months old was not one usually acceptable for such a young child
should have been delayed until his fourth birthday
did not provide much entertainment for a baby
was foolish because the weather was so bad
was, in fact, so that she could get her own pleasure from the sea
When sharing an experience with her nephew, the writer hopes he will discover the names of animals and plants
is not aiming to teach him anything but to have a good time with him
gets more pleasure than Roger does
frequently chooses times which are inconvenient
takes a lot of photographs for him to remember by
185 THE HAYMARKET RIOT On 1 May 1886 (May Day), labor unions organized a strike for an eight-hour work day in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. On 3 May, a small riot occurred at the McCormick Harvester Plant in which there was a shooting and one death when police clashed with the rioters.
Violence intensified on 4 May when a protest meeting began in Haymarket Square. During this meeting to denounce the events of the previous days, the police had just begun to clear out the crowd when someone threw a bomb, killing twelve people and wounding more than sixty. Policeman Mathias J. Degan was killed almost instantly and seven other policemen later died as a result of their injuries. Four of the protestors were also killed when the bomb went off and, in the panic that followed, the police fired into the crowd, killing one more person. Some of the speakers earlier in the day had been anarchists, and so the crime was supposed to have been committed by an anarchist, despite the fact that no evidence for such a link could be demonstrated.
Although the bomb-thrower was never identified, eight men - mostly of German descent - who had been involved in organizing the rallies were accused of the crime and found guilty. Seven of the men were sentenced to death and the eighth was sentenced to fifteen years in prison by Judge Joseph Gary, in spite of a startling lack of evidence that any of them had had any role in the bombing at all. The sentencing sparked outrage in international labor circles, resulting in protests all around the world and, eventually, the beginning of the worldwide celebrations of 1 May as an international workers' day.
