of the day, her body and spirit feels exhausted.Terkel QuoteThe
Work Song relates to the oral history Mother by Elise Klein.The mom
stays home all day and do the cleaning and cooking, etc.The
Stepmother and Stepsisters of Cinderella forces her to stay home
all day and do all the work by herself.Oral HistoryEven though a

always be a group of people who help support them and make the work
conditions better for the rest.Conclusion
