INTERVIEW WITH WILLIAM CROMWELL

MAIN CHARACTER FROM THE ENCOURAGEMENT LETTERS

BY SHANNA SPENCE

What is your name and how old are you?

I am William Cromwell and I am 11 years old.

What do you think has affected you most during the Industrial Revolution and how did you handle it as you did?

Well, as you know, I lost me father and work was scarce for me mum, then she became ill and all sorts of things were happening not only for me but for a lot of the town. I looked to me father’s letters to give me encouragement. Through those letters is what gave me strength.

It was your father’s letters that inspired you to write to some of the town’s people?

Yes, since I felt the letters help me through some of the hardships, I figured other people need encouragement and appreciation for helping others during this time.

What advice would you give to others during difficult times?

Difficult times only last for a short time and better times are ahead; just don’t give up hope, and find ways to help others.

What legacy do you want to leave?

Just as my father encouraged me, I hope that my letters will encourage others to be known to give hope and inspiration.
