Working Children/Adults had difficult lives because their jobs were usually severely energy consuming and in extremely bad cases some developed deformities due to their ruthless occupations.

In focusing on literature and film from the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries, Somerville demonstrates how “emerging models of homo- and heterosexuality at the turn of the twentieth century were embedded within discourses of race and racialization, particularly bifurcated constructions of ‘black’ and ‘white’ bodies’” (175).  Noting that the 1896 Plessy v.
