Should Jim escape from the workhouse?





Why Jim Jarvis should escape the workhouse


I think Jim should escape from the workhouse because it is an awful place to live. The workhouse people beat you for talking, even if you are asking a friend for help or if you hurt yourself. In the workhouse, you have to do ghastly jobs like making rocks into dust, pulling apart a rope with your bare hands and more. The workhouse people also don't care about Jim, they don't care about others either, nobody cares about anybody and that's the sad thing about it. In the workhouse, they also don't care about social skills as you can't talk to anybody. In the mornings, you have to wake up super early otherwise they beat you as if your the rocks that the workhouse attenders crush to pieces.


If you stay in the workhouse for too long, you may start to believe that you were born there and forget about all of your memories in your actual life. There is a worker named Joseph that is a worker in the workhouse and he probably came there when he was a baby. He has a mother there and she is in the asylum, Joseph has had a very lifeless life staying at the workhouse doing the same thing day in, day out. Jim Jarvis is also very young and has a lot of life potential for a great life and he can make it fun, but if he stays at the workhouse all of that livleiness would fade away. He would also have a life like the living-dead. This is the end of my side of the debate.
