"You are a 15-year-old boy living in England where the Industrial Revolution has spurred the growth of factories. Cheap labor is in great demand. Like millions of other teenagers, you do not go to school. Instead, you work in a factory 6 days a week, 14 hours a day. The small pay you receive is needed to help support your family. You trudge to work before dawn every day and work until after sundown. Inside the workplace the air is hot and foul, and after sunset it is so dark it is hard to see. Minding the machines is exhausting, dirty, and dangerous." - McDougal Littell Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction textbook, page 282
This Short Story has information on how poor children and their families lived during the Industrial Revolution.
