Reasons why a child is forced in to this job (child labor)
Most of the times, children are forced by parents to work because their families couldn’t pay the dept. Sometimes, they work by self choice to support their families. Maybe, they could be fond to work. It rarely happenes, but they might work to support themselves.

How I felt about the story of the child labor
I read the story of Gabir, about child labor ruining his dream…I thought it wasn’t fair how they can’t go to school to learn, because he has to work in brick factory everyday. Gabir can’t even read or write. Also, I don’t think they get much money either, for working eight and a half hours a day, and carrying enough mud for 600 to 700 bricks daily, he only gets 50 Rupees (about 60 cents) a day. He has to work in the hot sun, and he gets tired very often. I think this is similar to how Iqbal also had to work hard for lots of hours, and not getting any educations, but I also think that it’s different, because Gabir never tried to run away, or help stop the child labor. I think the child labor must stop.

How to STOP the Child Labor
I could start by sharing how some children are forced to work, so they can’t learn, play, or get barely any time to rest, because of the child labor. First, I should learn and know about the child labor well, so I could share it with others to help stop child labor. Then I could think back to the book we read, as a class, about a boy named Iqbal trying to stop child labor, so I could share the story of Iqbal and what he has done to stop the child labor.
