The Carpet Boy's Gift Homework

- I think this is a really good story, although it is short but very brief and contain many important details. This book is very useful because all adults and children can read this book, this book is short but when people read it, they will understand more about what is happening for the children in Pakistan.
After reading this book, I know more about child labor in Pakistan. I feel very sad for them since they are the same age with me but they have to work hard just to earn a little money for their family or most of them doesn't get anything. Reading this story, also make me feel angry because there are certain people that is acting against the law but no one is stopping them. Also, the people that stand for the goods got killed without any argument. I also wish I could do something to help them, because I know a little thing can change a lot to their life. I hope one day all the owner who used child labor will have to pay for what they did


- In this story, the owner violated many law for children. But I think there are a few most important ones. The first one is "Every child should have the right to play and rest". This law was violated the most since the owner forced all the children to do from early morning till very late at night. I think the law that said "Every child shouldn't have to be punished physically or mentally for what they have done". The owner violated since after he know about the resistance, he locked Nadeem in a room.
