Growing up on a farm children’s childhood wasn’t really of value or importance more was the work that needed to be done around the house and farm. Her and her six siblings didn’t have toys or games rather playing with the farm animals was the most excitement throughout there day. My grandma never got paid for the work she completed rather it was seen as a necessary responsibility and a way to have a relationship with her parents. As stated in Useful to Useless my grandma and her siblings could best be defined as “little adults” who engaged in useful chores around the house and elsewhere. One of the more important questions I asked my grandma was looking back now would you define what your parents did as child labor, if so did this have a negative impact on your childhood? What was the most eye opening about this was she didn’t consider what she did as a child as child labor because throughout her family and the town she lived in children working was seen as a norm. If anything she said this was something that benefited her. She was able to learn skills and basic household duties that put her ahead of everyone else. She thought this make her more responsible and disciplined. The most important factor was when finding a job as she got older it was easier to find one and the work wasn’t as difficult as what she experienced as a child. Themes of Sharon’s Life (born

    At the beginning of the speech, Kelley explains that “two million children under the age of sixteen are earning their [family’s] bread” and serve as a source of income to support households (1-3). Kelley then goes on to disclose that many states have no minimum age requirements for workers which can cause elementary-age children to work in factories and mills at night. Kelley uses the metonymy of bread to refer to money and explains how the child is an important source of income for many families. By elaborating on the ages at which children work, Kelley demonstrates to the audience that anyone can be a victim of the horrors of child labor and attempts to cause the audience to feel empathy toward the children in their situation. Similarly, Kelley employs the oxymoron of “deafening noise” to refer to the poor conditions that children face throughout the night.

Forms of child labor, including indentured servitude and child slavery, have existed throughout American history.

    As the rate of industrialization in America grew during the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, child labor became more and more common. The rapid growth of the economy and the vast amounts of poor immigrants during the Industrial Age in America justified the work of children as young as the age of three. By 1900, over two million children were employed. However, the risks of involving child labor greatly outweighed the positives; child labor was inhumane, cruel, and caused physical deformities among children. Children typically worked in coal mines, mills, and factories which contained many life-threatening hazards.
