bens story

school happens and we learn and we get recces and I get to sleep in a normal bed once I got really sick and thew up this was not my day-to day because this happened a loooooong time ago

“I got a fever...I told my boss that I felt sick...He told me to go home...[The second time,] I became covered with red things. They itched. I had a cough. My bones hurt. I told my boss. He sent me home.”

I relate to this because when I was in 1st grade, I got a bunch of red bumps on my skin because of the water in my hot tub. It was super itchy.

This is different than my day-to-day life because I am not exposed to chemicals every day, I do not have a job, and I do not have a boss.

I can relate to this because every time a plane passes, .1, it is very loud. .2, we sometimes feel the wind of it.

“I got a fever...I told my boss that I felt sick...He told me to go home...[The second time,] I became covered with red things. They itched. I had a cough. My bones hurt. I told my boss. He sent me home.” Well I know I can relate feeling sick it is not a good feeling but also working with materials and dangerous toxins can be bad for children in ages 5-17 should either be pulled out of work because it is also bad for their knowledge or education in school if they work in a job it will be putting them out of school for a while and they could be missing very important parts or pieces in certain subjects.

“That poison sometimes it makes one sick. Of course, I keep working. I don’t cover myself. Once I got sick. I vomited [and] had a headache...after the fumigation. I was eleven years old… I told my bosses. They gave me two days to recover.”

For me I would not even had this moment as I would not be poisoned.

“That poison sometimes it makes one sick. Of course, I keep working. I don’t cover myself. Once I got sick. I vomited [and] had a headache...after the fumigation. I was eleven years old… I told my bosses. They gave me two days to recover.”

1 similarity is that were both the same age.

1 non similarity is that i dont work or have a boss and i also have more advantages then her in my life compared to hers.

if i would compare my life to his life it would be way different because i go to school and he is working but we are the same age and he get head ach always because he has to keep on working and also stomach aches because he works all the time so you cant compare my life to his life it would be way different

I relate because I know how horible rashes cough and fevers are but when I have them I can stay home

“When the planes pass, we cover ourselves with our shirts… We just continue working… We can smell the pesticides.” I think my life might be different because i am lucky enough not to have to harvest bananas. She has to though. I think some things we would have in common is that we are both kids, we would both sometimes getting sick, but not as sick as them.

Enrique Gallana, 14-year-old

“When the planes pass, we cover ourselves with our shirts… We just continue working… We can smell the pesticides.”

Comparison:

My daily life might be similar to this girl's because we might both get sick or feel uncomfortable in difficult situations. However, my daily life is most different from her because of the way we are treated in those situations. Unlike in Enrique's situation, my feelings, safety and health would be considered. However, for her, as a tired, young child, she is forced to keep working and show perseverance in spite of the pain. While she would be working in the fields, exposed to dangerous, harmful toxins and experiencing extremely uncomfortable conditions, I would be in a good school provided with a quality education and resources.

The poison and and the chemicals would not feel good.

I get education s/he doesn't

I get a good life s/he doesn't

non similarity:He is working in bad place and works very hard.
