Question

In this excerpt from Hard Times by Charles Dickens, which three sections include images of the horrors of industrialization?

Answer 1

It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down,

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it;  

these three sections describe what happens to towns after industrialisation  

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it;

Answer 2

For my Plato users:

It was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage

Serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever and never got uncoiled

Black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye.

Hope this helps
