So as the New Poor Law states people were extremely cruel and discriminated the “undeserving poor” they said it was god who decided if you were poor or not even though the church did try to help. For example the hymn all things bright and beautiful, includes the lines “ The rich man at his castle, the poor man at his gate, God made them high or lowly, and ordered their estate”. However most people felt pity on the ‘deserving poor’ an example of this was rich women that used to make themselves look generous, in front of their rich women friends, these were the types of people that Andrew Reid was particularly interested in and that was because they were the people that donated the most money.
Andrew Reid put together many Asylum meetings where he would do speeches to rich people and make them feel for the poor. An example of his speeches was one he done on the 3rd of July, 1927 at the London Tavern “Let it be remembered that the case is for the infant orphan for which charity has a yet done nothing; yet this case embraces a period of life in which innocence, helplessness and misery are strangely commingled and most touchingly call for our aid”. This speech was truly inspirational to many people and was used just before the people choose who they wanted to vote for using the voting system (explained in paragraph 6). Also he was respected for the work that he did. Andrew
I will be using this source from pages nine to eleven. It talks about the history of foster care, what it is like, and child welfare. It explains the past when children worked in fields and in the house. Since this was going on around the 1800’s, death was very common among young children and adults. These problems soon led to the foster care system. It was discovered in the late 1800’s. The children traveled to New York to get away from their troubles and to find a better life. Those children were later adopted and given a new life because many believed those parents were not parenting in the right way. They were given a life that would let them strive and become educated. It states that the foster care is something that is growing every day, helping those children in need. Most of the cases mentioned, the children were abused and the foster care was the only way to help them.
The Purpose of this speech is to gain support for a freedom movement from the British government. One can see this when he states, ?Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the

Foster care is supposed to be temporary, but for many teenage youth in foster care it is often a permanent solution. Foster care was never meant to raise children into adulthood. Even though foster care is supposed be temporary, most teenage foster youth reach their 18th birthday and become emancipated and end up living their lives without a family. Currently, 40% of foster youth in the system are between the ages of 11 and 21 (Child Welfare 3). Foster care is supposed to be a temporary arrangement in which adults provide care for children whose parents are unable to do so, due to issues within the family such as neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, or homeless. The earliest documentation of foster care can date back to the Bible, which

In his speech he announced to the public that he knew it was going to be hard to announce and speak on the greatest military disaster in the history of Britain. His ability to be sensitive and honest in his challenges creates a powerful bond between his message and the audience. His use of rhetoric helped bring about a final victory after all the disasters caused by the Nazis.

“He said that after the wall-paper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on… Then he took me in his arms and called me a blessed little goose” (Gilman 3).

According to author Susan Egbert Cutler, “foster care provides children, youth, or adults with supervision and a place to live outside of their usual home setting” (Cutler). Typically, a person gets placed in foster care because they come from an unsafe home environment and are unable to care for themselves on their own (Cutler). The experiences of every child in foster care are different because there are so many variables that contribute to whether or not a particular foster home is a good fit for the child: the biological parents, the foster parents, the circumstances of the placement, and the foster child themselves. For example, Wanda Corley, who was a child placed in foster care during the 1950s, has her own unique perspective on foster

Orphan Children living in the 1800s were living on overcrowded streets of cities. Over 30,000 abandoned kids were placed into new families throughout Canada and the United States using what were called ‘orphan trains’ . This movement was one of the first documented for foster care in America. The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that operated between 1854 and 1929. These kids faced many obstacles, a rough childhood, and their family life could be torn apart or challenging for them.

As Freder makes his transition into the underworld, we come to the scene in the catacombs where a crowd of dark figures with pale faces is contrasted with the white crosses in the background, and the touching figure of the good Maria. The construction of the great tower is shown to us as we witness thousands slaving to complete it. The workers, without choice, lug the great stones through the streets.
