Child Labor

        Today I am going to tell you about two boys, Iqbal and Craig. Iqbal and Craig are both
child activists who speak out against child labor. They are similar and different from each other. One example on how they are similar is that they both care about child labor and they want to help free child slaves. Another example of how they are different is that Iqbal’s life was at risk every time he spoke out against child labor in Pakistan.

        One example on how Iqbal cared about child labor is, when Iqbal escaped from child
labor to show people that it was wrong and that all of us should put a stop to it. My evidence for this is in an article called, Two Children Against Child Labor and it says, “ At the age of ten, Iqbal
escaped from child slavery and began to speak out against child labor.” (Two Children Against Child Labor). This quote shows that Iqbal cares about child labor and that he wanted to put it to a stop. This was my reason why I think Iqbal cared about child labor.

          One example on how Craig cared about child labor is, when he tried to get everyone
aware of child labor. I think this because of the quote I found says, “ I began to research child labor and then took what I knew to my seventh grade class and told them that I wanted to help. Who wants to help me?” (Craig). This shows that Craig not only wanted to help he wanted others to help to. These are some reasons why I think Craig cares about child labor.

        One example on how they are different is that every time Craig spoke out against child labor his life wasn't at stake but, Iqbal’s life was. I think this because my quote says, “ A few months after returning to Pakistan from his visit to the U.S. Iqbal was shot and killed while riding his bike with his friends.” (Two Children Against Child Labor). This quote shows that because Craig spoke out against child labor he was killed and Craig wasn’t . These are some reasons on how I think Iqbal and Craig are different.

        In conclusion Iqbal and Craig are similar and different from each other. An example of how they are similar is, that they both tried to raise awareness for child labor. They are also similar because they both care about child labor. Another example on how they are different is, that Iqbal’s life was at stake every time he spoke out against child labor but, Craig's life wasn't. These are some examples why I think Iqbal and Craig were similar and different.
