*looks* Oh that's in there too! I'll use that. This is a weird reading though. It's about like some girl who works in a factory.

She and her friends notice that the conditions are bad and that people are dying, so they go on strike. The reading says it's historical fiction about the Industrial Revolution. They're trying to sneak History into our English homework now.

What could be worse? We watched a video about babies! They even had a birth part but the teacher fast-forwarded through it... luckily. How do people even do that?
