Similarities Between Homeless Children Then And Now
Homeless Children. Then and Now “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill Homeless children is still a huge problem. Children do not have a place they can call home. These destitute people live in bad environments, and grow up in an unsafe environment. During the 19th century, homeless children were extremely similar to homeless children today. Despite children not having a home and living in hazardous environments, present-day, we have shelters and programs to assist people attempting to come back to society.
The problem of homeless children in the Victorian Era and now are strikingly similar. In the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dicken, pages 77 to 83 it shows Oliver running away homeless.
