Hard Times Generation: Homeless Kids

Seniors,
If you were absent today, please click on the link below and write a well-developed paragraph that includes a context sentence and your reaction. Remember to focus on the children's stories and how it impacts your thoughts about poverty. Your response needs to be at least 10 sentences.

Also, consider the Poor Law of 1834 that required poor citizens of the United Kingdom to live in workhouses. Think about the history behind Oliver Twist and Jane Eyre.
