Yet the substitution of a public drainage network for the private cesspool was perceived by some as an attack on domestic autonomy.
Good systems included either the municipal sewer or a septic tank with leach field, and poor systems included cesspools and portables.
Until the mid-nineteenth century, such refuse was generally collected in cesspools (enclosed pits dug into the ground) which were periodically emptied by manual labor.
The artificial light, shining into the dark filthy-looking cavern or cesspool, threw the adjacent houses into a deep shade.
While the cesspool appears simple, manageable, the sewer is represented as a source of confusion and complexity, as the image of the labyrinth suggests.
As a result, cesspools and privy vaults often flooded; cesspools had to be emptied far more often.

Managing Your Emotions
What makes me angry?
Mostly，l hate when someone tries to make someone else feel bad.
I have to admit that once, when l was actually called names.
l regretted doing this afterwards, but not full heartedly because l think l was provoked in that situation.
The most postive way of dealing with anger is talking about the problem.
l talk to someone who listens, or l'll write my thoughts down on paper.
Learning how to deal with anger as you're growing up is so important.
When you're younger, you might yell,or cry when you're angry, but as you get older, you're expected to handle your emotions much better.
Learning to control your emotion now will prevent you from doing something that you'll regret later on in life!
