They used their feet to stop that flow so they could pick out the pieces of slate and rock . Once they were done they lifted up their feet and the coal continued to the next boy.]]> 2019-02-14 18:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331451765 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331454383 The breaker boys job wasn't easy. When they are working in the breaker, the coal from the mines can get in their lungs. The breaker bosses didn't care though. if any of the boys were slacking the breaker bosses would whip them or even step on their hands with bob nailed boots on.]]> 2019-02-14 18:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331454383 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331727361 The breaker boys went through many rough times. A child nicknamed Mickey fell into a coal crusher and was grounded up with the coal. Another child named Manus Mchugh was another child who lost his life. He got his arm caught in the gear of the machine he was working on. He became hopelessly entangeled. ]]> 2019-02-15 14:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331727361 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331730548 2019-02-15 14:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331730548 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331731094 The breaker boys couldn’t get an education because they had to work. They worked in bad conditions.]]> 2019-02-15 14:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331731094 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331734279 A real world connection that can connect with what the breaker boys had to go through is slaves. Slaves were very similar to the breaker boys because both of them received unfair and cruel treatment. They also worked in bad conditions and had bad health from their jobs. Also they both weren't happy with their lifestyles.]]> 2019-02-15 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/331734279 701471 https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/332152176 2019-02-17 19:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/701471/1kk402o3znua/wish/332152176
