Descriptive Paragraph - Life in Child Labor

A day in the life of a child during the 19th century...
If you were to step into the shoes of a child in the 19th century, you would be a completely different person. Compared to what kids these days call "unfair" It would be a piece of cake for someone in the 19th century because that was when child labor started to get worse. A day in the life of a child during the 19th century would be described as painful, exhausting, restless, and cruel. Children started work at the Mills promptly at 5 AM to 10/11 PM. They were not allowed to have a big breakfast. It was usually a small , quick meal that contained water-porridge along with oatcakes. They worked all morning, noon, afternoon, and nightime. They would stop for a small quick dinner which was also oatcakes cut into small pieces. That was their meal for the whole day. Children's working days were seven days a week. On Sundays, they had to clean up the machines in the factory.
