I found this article interesting for two reasons. First, after some research I found that Charles Dickens started working in a coal factory to help out his fmaily financially. This was oretty normal for this time of the industrial revolution Second, He included this aspect of child labor in his novel Oliver Twist. I think in Oliver Twist this is one reason he was treated much older than he really was. He had multiple jobs at such a young age. It's interesting to see how not only was Oliver put to work at a young age but almost all of the children in the lower classes had to work in order for their families to survive.
