-> The Government passed a Factory Act to improve conditions for children working in factories and this document Is talking about the harsh conditions of the factory. 

Audience:

-> This was a letter to parliament for children working  very long hours. "limiting the ages of children employed" from this part, I noticed that children also worked like normal adults

Point of View:

-> Workers of the factory wrote this doc and the letter is talking about the rights that were violated amongst children workers working in a harsh factory. 

Purpose

-> It was created to maintain the right of children who worked very long hours. Strong words like 'violate', 'invasion' helped me determine the purpose. This document is shaped as a letter to Parliament about the working conditions. "This is perhaps the most cruel stroke" this quote inside the letter clarifies the problem of the factory

‘Y’ is The Document Significant?

-> Due to industrial revolution, rights of several people, including children, have been violated. This document is credible because it is based on the true story and it is a primary source. Now days, children less that 9 years old can't work in factories. 

At the start of industrial revolution, children were often hired in factories to work. Probably because they were easy to control and manipulate.There were many scandals on this particular topic (ie; the mining boys, such as the breaker boys or the Lowell mill girls scandal).  This triggered more check ups to be done on factories to insure some level of upholding of rights; even though this was often corrupted or dismissed.  

Since these questions were answered by a silk manufacturer in front of a parliament, the document, or more specifically the answers to the questions ask are biased. They aim to defend the factory’s  reputation and convince the parliament to believe that the children in the factory are well treated and even privileged. 

This document was specifically intended for a parliament logically on the topic of the working conditions of the workers of the factory, who were under eighteen. This can be identified in the document byline and also through the answer question-answer setup of the document. Additionally, the questions are obviously directed to the subject of the working conditions for the children. (ie. “Have you ever observed any inconvenience to the health of these very young children?”)  

I think the person that originally created the document was against the silk manufacturer that answered the question. This is because of the way the questions are asked; As any journalist would know, these are called leading questions that aim to lead the question to a certain answer that is harder to negate than if it  was without bias. The author most likely felt strongly about the working conditions of the workers in factories. The rest of the discussion on the author's POV is stated in previous paragraphs. 

This document serves as physical proof of James Pattison's testimony (as usually done with testimonies). This can be determined through the document byline. The form of the document is formal. Since the author was most likely against James Pattison, the document probably aimed to get him in trouble with the law. 

This document is an example of the corruption or possible corruption that took place in factories. One cannot take this document and it's answers as they are presented. The person who answered these questions has a motif to lie: protecting his company. Because of scandals such as these, regulations and 
rules started being implemented to protect workers (such as in the Lowell mill girls).    

 

        Now see the Cotton from the town convey'd

        To Manchester, that glorious mart of trade:

        Hail splendid scene! The Nurse of every art,

        That glads the widow's and the orphan's heart!

        Thy mills, like gorgeous palaces, arise,

        And lift their useful turrets to the skies!

        See Kennedy's stupendous structure join'd

        To thine M'Connell--friends of human kind!

        Whose ready doors for ever wide expand

        To give employment to a numerous band,

        Murray's behold! That well deserves a name,--

        And Lee's and Houldsworth's our attention claim,--

        And numerous others, scattered up and down,

        The sole supporters of this ample town.

What are the limitations of the document? (Is the document credible?)

In 1830, people in the United State worked in factories and people in the south usually worked in fields. Nassau senior compares these two types of workers, how much they make, how they look like, and there condition of work. “The girls, especially, are far more good-looking” “The wages earned per family are more than double those of the south….Parliament got up a frightful and an utterly unfounded picture of the ill-treatment of the children.”

To the readers of this document , factories owners, and farm owners because this documents is comparing their workers.

Nassau William senior was an English lawyer known as an economist. He was also a government adviser over several decades on economic and social policy.

He is comparing how much a factory worker get to how much a field worker gets.

This document is comparing workers in factories to workers in fields.

This document tries to compare how much the two makes and maybe raise attention about the field workers and since they work harder that they should maybe win more money.

No that document did not change anything, field workers never got paid more than the factory workers even though their task was tougher and they did also probably work longer than the factories workers. But then since this is only a point of view this document is not really trustable.

Audience: Because of the way the document is written, one can tell that it is written as a journal of the person’s life, and he is not directing it to a specific person, but instead is relating his story. Because of this, one can say that the document is directed to the public, and it’s purpose is to inform of the terrible conditions in factories.

Point of View: The person who wrote this document was a mill boy in the Industrial revolution. He probably came from a poor background, as richer people would not commonly be subject to such terrible conditions. One can say this, because in that time if families didn’t have money for school, boys would go work at mills to gain some money.

Purpose: This document was created to inform of how people were treated and what measures were taken in factories during this time. We can determine that this is the purpose of the document, as the author is constantly giving examples of his bad treatment.

“Y” is the Document Significant: Because it is a primary source on the subject, so it’s view on the document is more accurate. This document also helps us see how the conditions on the factory have evolved over time. However, if the author had personal opinions toward the factories since he was greatly affected by them, he might be biased towards a negative aspect on the topic.

In 1947, the industrial revolution was going on with the new power “steam” revolutionize the factories because before the energy was produced by water and animal and needed a flat location next to a kennel but with steam energy the factories offers much more location possibility. Steam create new transport like trains and steamboat.The author have a negative opinion of the industrial revolution; he describe the sadness of the grey wall and the black smoke escaping from the huge brick chimney.

Audience:

The name of the documents is “the factory town”; the audience was probably in the Newspapers because they are different type of text in the newspapers than the audience was the general public.

Point of view:

This document has been written in  1847 by Ernest Jone; in fact, the authors think that the factory evolution and useful but it also change the state, the people , and 

the sky. The author is sad and have a negative opinion of this situation.

 

Purpose: 

The purpose is to show the sadness of factory; the misery of the children working and the aristocrate that made profit with this system. This document is in poem form because i think the author want to shared the emotion of this and a poem is the most suitable thing.

Significance of the document:

This document show the situation; they were a lot of complaint about he work condition.This document is not very credible because it is a poem.Poetry were not very serious way to point of the case.the factory are less in the cities in 2017 but less polluting than in the industrial revolution.

What are the limitations of the document? (Is the document credible?)

The endangered child workers in the factories, specifically the textile industry, who were mistreated and exploited by factories. They were often dieing in the factories due to exhaustion or dangerous machines. 

The author makes the reader pity the girl and her father. There is almost an accusatory attitude towards the factories by exposing the conditions in which the girl is working in. There is also a solemn atmosphere to let the reader recognize what is happening because of the new capitalism. 

The parliament; most specifically the factory owners. 

Firstly, the author is a member of the parliament. Also, the author mentions the conditions of the factories and the maltreatment, which are conditions that the factory workers would be able to change. 

Michael Sadler, a member of  Parliament. 

The author was a member of parliament. I can infer that that he was fighting for worker’s rights, maybe specifically children’s rights, in the factories.

The author mentioned the early working hours, the low wages and the skinniness of the child, which were all rights the workers did not yet have. 

The document was created to raise awareness on what was happening in the factories by putting the leaders in a position of empathy towards the workers. 

The element of the mother and brother’s death, and the little girl’s death, make the leaders feel empathy. The focus on the harsh machinery and long hours circulate the subject of the harsh factory. 

The author’s viewpoint shapes the document towards views of human rights and their enforcement. Having the message communicated through a poem in this case is more effective than an image as the poem can describe the whole storyline, while an image might be more captivating for a single moment rather than the whole evolution of the situation. 

The document shapes the argument of needing labor unions and lowering the child working age around that time towards more liberal views by showing the conditions of the factory and how these affect the lives of the people working. 

This document reflects how much the working conditions in western countries today have changed (at least legally). The child in question would not be allowed to work in today’s world, and today there are always adults at children’s sides, the child would not be alone with other children. Moreover, today working hours are decreased, and there are safety precautions for machines that the company has to take. 

The document is credible as we now know that this is what often happened to families working in the factories. However, it might not be as credible as a diary entry for example as though it is based on the truth, it is a made up story. 

What are the immediate historical events that shaped /triggered this document? The first Industrial revolution where children had to work in factories.

What is the environment of ideas, attitudes, + emotions behind the creation of the document? Mass production so needs of more people to work in factories, using children being efficient, and cheap. Also conservative America.

For whom (specifically, generally, logically) was the document intended? For adults or factory owners who take in children to work for them or etc.

What details in the document help you attribute the audience?  “ So long as home education is not found for them, they are to some extent better situated when engaged in light labour, and the labour generally is light which falls to their share.  However, the bringing together numbers of the young of both sexes in factories have been a prolific source of moral delinquency.“ Those sentences must refer to people who could employ these children.

Who (specifically, generally, logically) wrote/produced the doc?Peter Gaskell

Is there a reference to the author’s POV (i.e. his/her professional, racial, gender, social background) in the document biline? If not, can you infer it? No, I’m guessing he is a middle-class man, who is conservative about either the IR, children or just sexual relations in general.

What details in the document reflect the author’s POV?   “ So long as home education is not found for them, they are to some extent better situated when engaged in light labour, and the labour generally is light which falls to their share.  However, the bringing together numbers of the young of both sexes in factories has been a prolific source of moral delinquency.“ The author is basically saying that children shouldn’t be exposed their sexual desires and that children should be schooled and disciplined.

Why was the document created?Probably to discredit the mixture of boys and girls in factories or just child labour.

What elements in the document help you determine its purpose? The parts that talk about the fact that this mixture of sexes would be “moral delinquency”

How does the author’s point of view shape the document's purpose AND/ OR

How does the format of the document shape its purpose?  (e.g. Is a visual/ photo more emotional than an essay?) Because his wrote a book and he seems to be a conservative who is somewhat well educated, the purpose of this text would be to strike people and to get them alert/thinking.

How does the document impact/shape/reflect popular arguments on the subject? This argument goes with the conservative view points on the life of a minor and how much should be tolerated and controlled by them and etc.

How does the document reflect ‘continuity or change over time’? Nowadays, even though there are some specifically unisex schools, minors go to school and do whatever and can be with other sexes.

What are the limitations of the document? (Is the document credible?)This text is limited as he is bias about the position the mixture of sexes.
