Working in a factory is not a fun thing to do. Do you think I enjoyed going to work in that stupid old factory everyday? I absolutely dreaded going to work every single morning. The factory conditions were not good, and it was by no means enjoyable to be there. But now after the Industrial Revolution, I would love to go back there. The Industrial Revolution has brought tremendous new machinery that leaves many of us factory workers without jobs. The machines replaced us forever. When this first happened, my family and I were in complete shock, and we had no idea what to do with ourselves. My wife and I were left with no jobs, meaning no money coming our way. We were forced to migrate to different areas looking for new employment, leaving us with no crops to grow. Rich landowners and the Parliament took all of our land. To say that the Industrial Revolution positively affected everyone is a false statement. Sure, it may have some positive effects on some people like rick landowners, but where does the Industrial Revolution leave me? Poor, homeless, and sick of living the way I am. To think how much I took my job for granted at the factory is heartbreaking, seeing as I would love to have a job now that the Industrial Revolution has taken it from me.
Factory Worker (Nicole Grady): I agree with your statement. The machinery was a definite advance and privileged of the Industrial Revolution but however, the burden and the hardships that we faced once we had our jobs replaced by machines was a difficult thing for many.
