I believe that the most pertinent disagreement between Lyddie and Diana deals with the petition that Diana is circulating among the factory girls. Diana is an outspoken proponent for better working conditions in the factories, and she is convincing many girls to sign a petition for improved conditions. Diana wants Lyddie to sign the document. Lyddie does not want to sign it. Part of her realizes that conditions are not great, but, so far, Lyddie has been able to successfully handle the conditions and the speed up. Lyddie is also hesitant to sign the petition because she risks her employment by signing it. Lyddie is making good money by this time in the story, and she sees a realistic possibility of earning enough money to pay down the debt and get her farm back. If she signs the petition and gets blacklisted from factory work, her source of income dries up. Lyddie is not willing to risk that.

Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
