"Why it is nothing but fun. It is just like play." -Lucy Larcom to her family after her first day of work Textile mills sprang up along rivers throughout New England, their noisy rooms filled with girls and young women from New England farms. They were hardworking girls who left home to help their families and to find adventure in the city. A mill girl arrived in a factory town clutching a single carpetbag or "hair trunk" and walked down treeless streets lined with brick boardinghouses that all looked alike, searching for the address that had been written on a scrap of paper. Upon arrival she would check in with the mistress, throw her bag a bed, introduce herself to six or eight new roommates, and try to get some sleep. She would need it.

What is the most likely reason the author included paragraph 1 of "Lucy Larcom and Harriet Hanson"?

A. to illustrate that many mill workers came from selfish families.

B. to demonstrate that many mill workers had negative attitudes.

C. to emphasize that many mill workers had similar experiences.

D. to highlight that many mill workers lived with supportive roommates.
