Hello. You forgot to enter the necessary text for this question to be answered. You also forgot to put the illustration.
The required illustration is attached below and the required text is:
"In Twenty Years at Hull House by Jane Addams
Our very first Christmas at Hull-House, when we as yet knew nothing of child labor, a number of little girls refused the candy which was offered them as part of the Christmas good cheer, saying simply that they "worked in a candy factory and could not bear the sight of it." We discovered that for six weeks they had worked from seven in the morning until nine at night, and they were exhausted as well as satiated. The sharp consciousness of stern economic conditions was thus thrust upon us in the midst of the season of good will."
Answer:
The illustration shows that child labor was carried out by children from poor families who lived in suburbs and marinalized regions. The text shows details that allow us to conclude how these children spend their energy on work and end up wasting their childhood. The text and the illustration are similar because they show how poverty is the main factor that promotes child labor and are different because while the text seeks to focus on how child labor changes children's behavior, the illustration seeks to focus on the environment in which they are inserted.
Explanation:
The text shows how child labor affects children's lives, as well as showing how children who do not need to work are different from those who do. This is because the narrator of the text had never heard of child labor and is surprised to see children working when he arrives at Hull-House. The narrator tries to make friends by offering sweets to the children, since it is common for children to like sweets, but these children refuse, saying that they cannot bear to see sweets since they work long hours in a candy factory. Knowing the children's workload, the speaker understands why they seem so listless and tired.
That's because child labor prevents children from enjoying childhood, making them adopt early behaviors for their age and leaving them sad, strange, exhausted, when they should be full of energy, playing, eating sweets and being happy with things childish and fun.
