My Cotton Dress Thesis
Even though their employers didn't care about them and the bosses felt that if the children wanted to eat they had to work.Child labor is unfair and should have never happened because it was dangerous for the children to work in factories and coal-mines and they worked in the factories and coal-mines all day long. In the passage “My Cotton Dress”, it talks about how children had to work in these factories and how the kids get hurt or/and die. On page 6 “Mary is one of the spinners. She was very sad. Standing all day long, she said, had broken down the arch of her foot and made her flat footed, which is very painful”. That was one of the children in the factory that became flat footed. In the next passage “Mr.Coal”,it says
that little kids are digging in coal mines. On page 4 “but on looking closely I found that one of them was a boy about 12 years old. My companion shook his head. "It is only half past seven o'clock in the morning. Boys of his age should be eating breakfast and getting ready for school," he said”
Now that is wrong for a kid to work in a coal mine.
