As Florence Kelley builds her argument the utilization of concrete imagery displays why child labor laws should change. She says, “girls between 12-14… in offices [and] manufacturing” She brings to mind the picture of a twelve year old girl in scorching hot weather sitting in the textile mills. During their time in the textile mills these kids hear, “deafening noise of spiders” these machines are piercing little girl's ear drums. To illustrate how bad this image is imanage, working next to a air horn in 100 degree weather. Their work hours extend from, “6 at night to 6 in the morning” the reason Kelley words it that way is to generate the emotion of the NAWSA. She successfully generates the emotion by her usage of concrete imagery.…

Recently, in the Daily Telegraph Angus McDonald wrote an opinion piece about how Indian children are being exploited for cheap labour and how the government is not dealing with the problem as Angus believes they are accountable for the responsibility. This issue has recently blown up in the media, due to the recent information about the average day of a child labour living in India. Angus McDonald uses emotive language, logical evidence, case studies , appeals to a sense of justice and a photograph, along with an alarmist tone to convey the message that the government need to step up and stop child labour.…
“The Children’s Era” was delivered in 1925 and was written to promote the use of birth control. Sanger says, “When we point out the one immediate practical way toward order and beauty in society, the only way to lay the foundations of a society composed of happy children, happy women, and happy men, they call this idea indecent and immoral.” Sanger tries to make her audience understand that too many children are born to parents who are ill prepared for them and/ or don’t want them, thus setting these children up for failure from the beginning. Sanger points out that many of these children will end up in “the ever- growing institutions for the unfit” or “behind the bars of jails and prisons” because they will be raised by parents who don’t care enough about them to give them a proper upbringing or cannot afford to give them a proper upbringing.…
The two articles “A Dollar a day” written by Angus McDonald and “Workers, Not Slaves” by Jenny Price both aim at those who are either interested in the treatment of child laborers or are a part of a business who’s operations involve the use of child laboring. McDonald voices his arguments with disgust, anger and outrage contending that thousands of child laborer’s, some as young as eight are being exploited into working long hours, in some of the world’s worst conditions for as little as a dollar a day. Price, however in response to this Jenny Price states that the images and articles published about such labor is very misleading and purposely uses emotional and provocative language to persuade readers to believe it all is horrible, however in actual fact is a very well earning and lifesaving employment opportunity for these kids.…
Florence Kelley uses the rhetorical strategies of repetition, pathos, imagery, logos, and carefully placed diction to express how child labor is morally wrong. Her vivid and strong descriptions garner sympathy from her Philadelphia audience. Her use of diction expresses how the audience is to be blames equally for the cruelty and inhumane nature of child labor.

The pictures he uses within his presentation, mostly young brown-‐skinned kids, reinforce his point and perspective tugging on emotional strings and some form of non-‐specific guilt that Westerner’s carry knowing that our way of life probably is supported by our standing on the shoulders of many less-‐fortunate people. The images are clearly at odds with how we in the developed world perceive our own guilt or complicity within this issue of child labor. We don’t see ourselves individually as exploiting these children and his presentation effectively chips away…
Dating back to 1832, when New England first condemns child labor, negative speculations about child labor began. When child labor is thought about, many will notice it as a very immoral and corrupted thing. However, many children involved in child labor oppose to these negative speculations. CNN (a famous news station) once interviewed a child captivated by child labor. During this interview, the child elaborated on the choice he made between safety and freedom. He explained within child labor his needs were met and he didn’t have to fear of anything happening to him because he was safe. He went on to say if he did have a choice between child labor and his freedom being granted, he would ultimately choose child labor. The reason being was because of his safety. Mencken’s observation can be perceived in the choice the child made.…

"The child is the father of man." This famous line quoted by William Wordsworth refers to the importance of the child for the development of society as well as for the all-round development of the human race. Childhood is the time to garner the best physical, intellectual and emotional capacity to fulfill this duty towards the nation and to one's own self. However, this simple rule of nature has been crippled by the ever-growing menace of child labor. If one conceives the idea of child labor, it brings before the eyes the picture of exploitation of little, physically tender, illiterate and under-nourished children working in hazardous and unhealthy conditions.…
