Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist
The life in London in the industrial period was for some people good, but for others it was a nightmare. The people who had money lived a very luxury, good and safe life. The people who had money, they had also the power. I can for example tell that, the people who were priests and bishops, they had a lot of power. We lived in the ecclesiastical society. All what god said, you just have to do, if you would live a good life. The priest and bishops did what, god told them to do, and they told the people what to do. The poor people had a very bad life, if they would survive under these unreasonable living conditions, they had two chances to survive. They could live in absolutely poverty, or they could move into a workhouse. You can ask yourself what is best to life in absolutely poverty or in a workhouse where, you worked all day and got something to eat, it was not the best food but, you got something every day. You do not always have something to eat, if you lived in absolutely poverty. I think that, you can discuss what is best to do in very long time.
But I would prefer to live in the workhouses even though it was tough living conditions.

1. The house where Oliver was born. The poorhouse where Oliver was born is not a place for delivery. It is dark and cold, and the kit to finish the delivery was not something you used because, you have not money. So you can imagine that, it is a cold nasty and not a place for delivery. But it was the only way, poor women could get their children, and it is especially harder for this woman because, she got the child without she was married, and it was forbidden in this period, some people get killed if they got a child without, they were married. 2. The attitude from the staffs. I would say that the attitude is probably provocative because, the staff sitting for example in front, of the poor and eating the best food. And the poor people are sitting and eating old and nasty food. And I will

    For example, a French socialist, Flora Tristan recognizes the fatal conditions and constructs a poor view on the Industrial Revolution and it's effects. She expresses her opinion about the life quality in Manchester, “they are wizened, sickly and emancipated, their bodies thin and frail, their limbs feeble, their complexions pale, their eyes dead” (Doc 7). Not only was the population dying at frightening rates, but the citizens disapproved the machines and factories replacing them in the work force. Also, Frances Anne Kemble crudely speaks about the protests against machinery and the government's inadequacy to sustain a healthy, happy community(Doc 4). As described by Tocqueville, Manchester’s populace lost it's optimism and had degraded back into the savage (Doc 5). Consequently, society’s way of thinking devolved from enthusiastic and passionate to despair and misery. Noticed by Edwin Chadwick, as well, was, “an adult population short-lived, reckless, and intemperate, and with habits of sensual gratification” (Doc 6). He observed the hopelessness of each worker transporting from one tortuous burden to the next. Ultimately, some occupants perceived a negative view of the Industrial Revolution due to the treacherous conditions and demoralized…

    Could you imagine working for as long as 18 hours a day, six days a week? How about in 80 degree weather, doing tedious and often dangerous work? To make matters worse, what would it be like to be constantly hungry and tired, knowing that you would face harsh and hurtful punishments if you didn't meet the demands? During much of the Industrial revolution, this scenario was the norm for men, women, and children of the working class. The pay was barely enough to live on, and the workers returned home to crowded and unsanitary apartments, overflowing with disease. Although various government reform programs later made work and life a little bit nicer for the people, it still wasn't paradise. In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens wrote, "it…
