Coal Mines By George Orwell

Orwell gives imagery on how the coal mines appear “There is coal dust everywhere, so much you could barely see as it builds up in your eyes and fills up your throat and nostrils. Furthermore, he goes into detail on how when the roofs of the mine are exceptionally short, you're at a disadvantage if you're tall, not unlike himself. That is to say, according to Orwell’s experience “you bend double and deal with a constant crick in your neck and agonizing pain in your knees and thighs to land at your destination”. That is also why an abundance of workers are in perfect body shape and build, adapting their bodies to deal with the harsh conditions of the mines. The workers also deal with unstable tunnels and deal with permanent scars down there back
