=Poverty....=

When you think of how your life is, you think of a warm house and a full stomach during dinner time. Not all are so lucky to have such a life. Unable to buy homes, people lived on the streets or built shacks in back alleys. Because of their unfortunate condition, they were unable to keep themselves clean or healthy. Many died on the streets, causing sewage and pollution contaminating drinking water. The rich people never would have thought that people lived in such a way. But in 1890, a man by the name of Jacob Riis had gone to the alley ways and taken photographs of how they lived. Showing them in slide shows, people were shocked by what they saw.
