London Factory Worker (Victoria Iannotti)

I strongly believe that the Industrial Revolution impacted its citizens in a negative way. I live in constant fear and exhaustion. I work each day for 12 to 16 hours, six to seven days a week. I rarely get breaks in the factory, but I do on occasion. Sometimes, I can barely breathe because of all the lint in the air. I also fear that I will lose a limb, a finger, or even my life! God forbid I get ill, I will lose my job. If this happens, I will have nothing. I often wonder if this is all worth it. Everyday, my life is at risk. I always feel tired and afraid. This Industrial Revolution is in all honesty, a terrible occurrence. Living like this is not right. I should work to make a living, but not like this. The life in a factory is cruel. Therefore, the Industrial Revolution impacted its citizens in a negative way.
