Music soothes the soul!

   A song such as "The song of the shirt" by Thomas Hood is definitely not a song that i would choose as my main choice. As i was reading the lyrics of the song i pictured everything in my head as it was being told, and woah is that not a pretty picture. Life for the textile factory workers during this time must have been something close to "hell". The song practically talks about what work was like. From what is said i infer that it must have been pretty heavy work and that they were abused to the edge. They had no other choice but to work this hard and practically be overly abused. They must have lived very hard and harsh lives which maybe ended because of their exhaustion. And to think that there is still many places overseas that still have this same treatment and working for conditions for workers. Would you like to be in that position? i know i wouldn't!
