Counter for the Case Against Chores Abstract Jane Smiley attempts to give parents advice about household chores in her essay The Case Against Chores, which was featured in an issue of Harper’s magazine in 1995. I think that Jane had a somewhat privileged childhood; if it weren’t for finding the way to hard work through working with horses, she would most likely not have a clue of how to operate in the adult world. I grew up in a house with a chore list, and it helped me on my path to be a functioning adult and mother. Agreed that most children would celebrate Jane Smiley’s case against chores, but is it any good? In her essay, The Case against Chores, Jane Smiley shows her contempt for chores by giving some opinions that I simply do not agree with.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Dialectical Journal Ch 1-3 “ The Window Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was a rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the window was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out” (1,1) “ When we was ten foot off Tom whispered to me, and wanted to tie Jim to the tree for fun. But I said no; je might wake and make a disturbance, and then they'd find out I warn't in. Then Tom said he hadn't got candles enough, and he would slip in the kitchen and get some more. I didn't want him to try. I said Jim might wake up and come.
In the little boys mind, the snowman is begging the young boy to come in, like a puppy. He feels the snowman is lonely, cold, and scared in the windstorm, and the young boy is confused as to why the snowman has to stay outside. Little does the boy know that the snowman is content right where he is. In a bit of irony in the second paragraph, the snowman enjoys the cold, knowing that the warm house seals his fate to “die”, or melt. The snowman is “moved to see the youngster cry” knowing the boy doesn’t realize what happens when cold things aren’t kept cold, they go warm and melt.
She has a fun memory despite the struggle of being poor. Next, she talks about her boyfriend and how he is being sent off to fight in the war over in Africa. She looks forward to the romantic side of it but is still saddened that he is leaving. Finally, she talks about her experience over at a camp where they learned to do many things that the government required them to do such as grow tobacco or cut sugar cane in order to produce around 10 billion tons of sugar. She explains the struggle of only having little food there because it was the ones her parents brought her during the weekends but she had to save it in order for it to last.
Even with getting $400 a month, approximately $130 in food stamps, and Melissa’s paycheck it was difficult to get by. She worked and went to school which left very little time to spend with her son. This affected her in a way because Issaiah didn’t have time with his mommy. It was very important to her to dedicate as much time as possible to Issaiah. Melissa was right in wanting to dedicate as much time as she could to her son according to the Juvenile & Family Court Journal.

Likewise the children were also at risk working in the dark area in the mines. I strongly agree that, by looking at the picture of putters with trolley (annex 1), definitely the terrible working condition might have put children at risk every single day as there was no light or guidance for them to follow. Viewing at the question of who was looking at the surveillance of the children, I can say that Lord Shaftesbury and his commissioners were shadowing the children and before him, the mine owners and his employees were surveing the children. With the introduction of the report, Lord Shaftesbury and his commissioners ensure that the children surveillance was taken care of. The greatest deviance occurred after the introduction of the report as it spotted the age of every child who went to work.
4 Mar. 2014 Chimney Sweeper Chimney Sweeper by William Blake entails about a poem which identifies young boys as socially oppressed chimney sweepers in the dark background of child labor. In the story, the boys are very young and are being sold to people to clean chimneys with no say about the fact that they are just childhood ages being put to work in a dangerous environment which seemed to be government controlled at the time. The ideology behind that is, that the reason the kids were put to work was because they are small and can clean places unreachable to adults and the poem sets a good example of how it was in England in the 18th and 19th century. Marxism to me is basically anti communist thinking, pro religion and also the fact that everything should be shared equally and I believe it shows a good example in the poem when one of the young boys named Tom Dacre had said "And by came an Angel who had a bright key, and opened the coffins and set them all free" (1382).
