The Jungle, a novel written in 1906, by Upton Sinclair is a harsh and very real account of what child labor looked like during the time of the Industrial Revolution. This work particularly looks at the lives of Lithuanian immigrants funneling into the United States and the work they are forced to do to maintain their meager existences. The immigrants are in such a degraded state that so many are forced to have their children employed to help the family survive. The key word for these immigrants and their children was survival. Sinclair states throughout the novel that education for these immigrant children was purely a bonus, as so many had to give up schooling to help the family make ends meet.

In the first article, Editorial•Stop the school-to-prison pipeline, it starts off by using the young man as an example of the many children who fall for the school-to-prison pipeline. The young man has seen the men in his family go to prison and even though he does not explicitly state it, you can tell he is worried about what his fate will be. This is shown by his quote, "Every man in my family has been locked up. Most days I feel like it doesn 't matter what I do, how hard I try—that’s my fate, too. " I believe that if one sees something done by someone close to them, they will react to what is seen, which is what mostly happens with these kids being talked about in this article.

To begin with, youngsters are being treated harshly on a regular basis, and are made to climb trees with machetes to harvest the cocoa. Once the cocoa has been knocked off the trees, the children cut open the pods with machetes to remove the cocoa beans. According to Aly Diabate, a freed slave, told reporters that beating became part of his life, as anytime they loaded him with bags of cocoa beans and he fell while carrying them, no one would help; instead they beat him repetitively until he picked it up again (Slaves to chocolate, 2002). Also, most of these youngsters do not get paid or are paid very less, therefore they cannot afford a bus ticket to run away, and if they get caught they are beaten to death. Moreover, many of them stay with the plantation until they die; consequently, they never see their families again.

Om taught them to stand up for themselves, to endure things when they get hard, and taught them to defend what they think is right. Almost daily, Om would “borrow” something from one of his classmates. Every day at lunchtime, Om would go around asking the students to give him money, or even parts of their own lunches. Saying no to Om wasn’t an option. Everyday, everyone handed over what Om wanted.

All donations contribute to determining what causes Autism so we can prevent it from happening in the first place and find a cure to help those currently suffering from its detrimental effects.

“...When the U.S. Congress threatened to ban the import of clothing made by children under 14 in Bangladesh, around 50,000 of them went from their jobs in the relatively clean textile factories to collecting garbage” (Page 8, paragraph 46.) The children, desperate for a job, need to work and so they don’t find a problem with working in factories. In fact, if they weren’t working in factories they would have to be out on the streets looking for work that they may not be guaranteed.

This factory work was cruel to Dickens as he was still young, and ended up influencing him greatly as the incident was not a bright time in Dickens ' life. 2.
