'Coketown\r'

'Coketownspeople Coketown is a novel written by Charles hellion in 1854. Coketown is a verbal description of a typical town in the prissy get on after the industrial revolution which occur passing during the eighteenth century. Charles daimon describes the other side of the coin during the Victorian age by using figure of talking to in his description of the town: â€Å"Coketown […] was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the wood pussy and ashes had everyowed it; but, at matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. (line 1-3) He uses the figure of speech to describe how the shutout and ashes have painted the red bricks black, by compare the colors with a â€Å"savage”. By doing this, Charles Dickens makes the description more accurate because the reader gets an so far better picture of what it is he is stressful to describe. Charles Dickens uses figure of speech numerous times. Among othe r things he compares a mad elephants’ head movement with the mo nononously movement of a steam-engine and describes the many factories as â€Å" gigantic piles of building full of windows. The text is in general very melancholic, and it really makes the Victorian age look like rubbish. Charles Dickens is probably trying to show, that with the factories and the new way of life, life has become overmuch more planned and organized but not necessarily better, because the individuality is gone and every mean solar daylight is like the one before: â€Å"inhabited by people equally like one another, who all went in and out at the identical hours, with the same sound upon the pavements, to do the same work, and to whom every day was the same as yesterday and tomorrow, and every division the counterpart of the last and the next. ”(line 10-13)\r\n'
