history question.

History question
My question is: what are the differences kids in the 1800s vs the 2000s?

Kids are the future to our world and they are very different than the kids from the 1850s, but, how different are they? Do they all just go to schools like us or did they really all sit in one classroom? The wealthy kids could hire private teachers  or tutors but most kids were put into one classroom. It also, didn't matter what learning abilities or what age you were it did not matter.

Children worked harder and longer from all ages., they could be 6 or they could be 16 it did not matter. They mostly worked in dangerous factories safety was completely disregarded. If a child was slacking off of his/her job than ethir they would be physically or verbally abused. Also, children were payed as little as 50 cents a month, they were also given risky jobs. Hey did that because they were smaller they would crawl into small places.

Their clothing was mostly formal the girls would wear dresses and the boys would wear trousers and dress shirts. Their healthcare was different and most people died from something as little as pneumonia. The most deadly diseases at the time was cholerae (and infection of the small intestines.) Since children's lower intestine is not fully developed to fight diseases so they would die a lot.

body in the woods

The Body in The Woods was a genuinely good book but was very slow and uninspired. The characters Alexis has found comfort with the SAR team as her mom has mental health problems. Her friend Nick is trying to prove that he can perform random acts of bravery like his dad did. Ruby is very smart but everyone else thinks she is weird. This group of friends found a body in the woods and they want to find who killed her.


   The beginning of this book was very lackluster when they found the body they weren't even that freighted. In this book, there were that there were some very slow parts but they were quickly followed by the fast parts. To me the fast parts were almost too fast they moved on so quickly and anticlimactically they just passed and were lost at the end of the book, it was almost like I forgot that it happened.

The middle of the book was where most of the story happens. The character of Alexis was a big plus for the book. She offered a much more interesting story than the other characters. I especially enjoyed the end of the book it has a very big twist that offers a pleasant element of surprise.


When you hear the quote (“out in the woods, no one can hear you scream.”) I think that this quote explains the book very well. It just has a scary and eerie feel to it, just like the book is. So if you want to be always a the edge of your seat than I think that this is the book for you.
