My entry for the #24in48 Hour 12 Challenge: a book that changed my views about a concept. This book deeply affected me, it was about the horrifying conditions people lived in during the 1800s in East London. The rich and privileged feast and party while the poor reach out to catch the crumbs that fall. Even the working ones don't get paid even close to enough. The same things happen today, and it makes our day-to-day problems seem silly.
