i'm sitting in class and my teacher's picking on me but that's ok ...
i was reading one of my american government books called a people's history of the united states 1492-present and i came across a good paragraph.
...dangerously broken stairways ... windows few and so dirty ... the wooden floors that were swept once a year ... hardly any other light but the gas jets burning by day and by night ... the filthy, malodorous lavatory in the dark hall. no fresh drinking water ... mice and roaches ...
during the summer months ... how we suffered from the cold. in the summer we suffered from the heat ...
in these disease-breeding holes we, the youngsters together with the men and women toiled from seventy and eighty hours a week! saturdays and sundays included! ... a sign would go up on saturday afternoon:'if you don't come in on sunday, you need not come in on monday.' ... children's dreams of a day off shattered. we wept, for after all, we were only children ...
that was from the part were reading socialist and was from 1905 and there were five hundred garment factories in new york ...
i never realized how rough things were but its actually sad ...
