Fears

doubts

passion for change

has heard the sounds of distress from the mothers, fears what Master might do to them

Fears that if he gets out of here, his own ambition might make him as cruel as the master, he doesn't know any other way

What is master is father? Can he fight against own father?

what if it goes wrong?

What would come after getting away from factory?

he has no education

he has no knowledge

will it be just like before?

what might they be forced to do to survive on the streets?

will he be able to get a better job?

streets are dangerous, is the known devil perhaps better than the unknown?

heard what is happening to the mothers

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
― Margaret Mead

wants to protect mother like she has protected him all his life

ambitious, wants to live a good life and provide for his family

mother is pregnant, master might kill her and child

wants a better life for unborn sibling

15 years old

hears children and mothers alike cry themselves to sleep through stifled sobs that no-one is supposed to hear

no contrast, what i this is as good as it gets?

as bad as it is, they have a bed and a little food

what if the master is actually one of the more generous masters

can he be responsible for the devastating effects?

will escape mean even worse conditions for mothers?

if the master can fore mothers to do that kind of thing, what might people on the streets do to the mothers and the children?
