poor law source

origon- this source was drawn in 1837. purpose- the pupose of the picture is to make people feel symphathy for the people inside the workhouse. it also shows them how the people were treated as slaves and had no rights at all.it reveals many activties that torture the poor people inside. value- the source shows how the authority sees the poor people and the way they feel or think about them.its also shows the poors point of view about how life is even worse outside the workhouse and begg them to go in. the work is really hard inside and cutting rock is easier than what they do. the authority no longer treat them like people and treat them like animals or slaves. they make them shave their heads so that they wouldnt be able to differintiate between them. there is a short life expectancy for kids because of the hard work and the beating. theres no differintiation in age and everyone does the same hard work whether kid or old or man or woman. there is no time for them to rest and they are treated like machines. limitations- the source has some good information but it only shows it from one point. it missed out on the sleeping conditions and how or where they sleep. it said when and hoe much they eat but they didnt say what they ate and how much. when the poor said that inside the workhouse is better than outside,they didnt say the life conditions outside and what was it like. they missed out on saying all the jobs they did they only said a couple of them.it leaves us missing some information about the children and exactly how they were treated and their jobs. they didnt say what the women did ir their jobs or their roke inside the workhouse.
