The last picture, was of a young girl who was looking out of a window from inside of the factory (Flickr). In Jacob Riis pictures his pictures were more of the towns condition and the adults working in the factory. With that being said, I believe Lewis Hine represents a greater flaw in the American capitalist economy of the "Gilded Age" (Virginia). They had children under the age of sixteen doing adult women and men jobs with low pay. That caused the children who were working to receive little to no education. They worked on farms, factories, urban areas, or even in at home workshops (History). All of the jobs were not easy for adults, much less for kids. People preferred kids over adults because it meant less pay, they were young and so they could be easily controlled. When the children was working, they were treated very poorly. They made low wages but had long hours. It was common for a child in the 20th century
