Another ViewThis book had a lot of information about daily life
in the Industrial Revolution. As you know, every
source is different. Ask a librarian or another adult
to help you find another source about the Industrial
Revolution. Write a short essay comparing and
contrasting the new source’s point of view with that
of this book’s author. What is the point of view of
each author? How are they similar and why? How
are they different and why?
