    Life living in a tenement
    It was horrible to live in a tenement because I didnt have a lot of money and I had to sleep with other people that I didnt know and it smelled really bad because there were no shower and no bathrooms so we had to do our buisness on the street that we walked on.

    It was fun to work on skyscrappers unless you fell then it would be horrible to do because falling wouldnt be very fun and the wind can push you sometimes and you have to try to balance so that you dont slip.
