I chose this article because although the industrialization led to an exponential growth in innovation and technology, there were mainly negative impacts and once is reflected through William Blake who personally experienced the neglect.

The imagery of death and terrible working conditions along with Blake’s appeal to ethos truly makes the reader sympathize for the poor children
