    A man did not want to go to the workhouse because he would not be able to care for his family or find suitable work. Workhouses housed poor people in small rooms where diseases spread quickly since men, women, and children lived together in close quarters and shared beds. Charles Dickens used workhouses as a setting in his novels to depict the poor living conditions that caused illness and death for those housed there.

    Reading

    Charles Dicken was the writer who used the setting as a workhouse for his book.
    Diseases spread quickly because all men, women and children lived together separately small

    rooms and shared beds and this caused them to have illness or even die.

    I think the best aspect of the workhouse is that the poor people had to live in houses, it shows

    in para 1 line 1-3 " Workhouse were large buildings...…. paupers could live and work." The worst

    aspect is that it looked very uncomfortable to live in rooms that started to spread diseases as it

    shows in para 3 line 3-11 " People were crammed...….died due to these conditions."
