From From Hard Times Hard Times by Charles Dickensby Charles Dickens

“It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it…it was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves forever and ever…It contained several large streets all very like one another, and many small streets still more like one another, inhabited by people equally like one another, who all went in and out at the same hours, with the same sound upon the same pavements, to do the same work, and to whom every day was the same as yesterday and tomorrow, and every year the counterpart of the last and the next.”

word? How do the words “forever and ever” help you

understand the meaning?

Analysis of Text-Based WritingAnalysis of Text-Based Writing

•Let’s first take a look at the evaluation tool based on FCAT 2.0 Writing.

•Together let’s evaluate the first student paper.

Page 36: Reading Coaches Meeting Leon County Schools Friday, January 11, 2013.

Student Paper #1Student Paper #1

In this passage, the author is attempting to illustrate the negative impact of industrialization in a town. Even in the title, Hard Times, he expresses that industrialization has brought about some difficulties in life in this community. He begins this passage by detailing how the smoke from chimneys has hidden the beauty of the rich brick buildings that once lined the streets. He shows the prevalence of the smoke by using descriptions such as “interminable serpents of smoke (trailing) forever and ever.” This image portrays the “town of machinery” as one which is draped in smoke from the factories. He transitions from this factory city to the homogenous lives of the people with a description of the city streets which all look the same. Like the factory lined streets, the people have become uniform with little differences in their lives. In other words, all the people look the same and do the same things over and over. The writer is clearly trying to show that factories have ruined the city and resulted in a mundane and uninteresting existence for its people whose lives revolve around the “town of machinery.”

Page 37: Reading Coaches Meeting Leon County Schools Friday, January 11, 2013.

Student Paper #2Student Paper #2

The author doesn’t like industrialization because it is smoky with a lot of ashes. There is a lot of machinery and tall chimneys, smoke is coming out of buildings like snakes and it is every where. All the streets look the same, the people work the same hours and make the same sounds when they walk on the pavement. They all do the same thing every day and every year. He does not like industrialization.

Page 38: Reading Coaches Meeting Leon County Schools Friday, January 11, 2013.

Student Paper #3Student Paper #3

The author thinks industrialization is bad. He says there is a lot of smoke and ashes with tall chimneys. He says the smoke is like snakes coming out of the chimneys. Smoke is not good for people, it can give you cancer and make you sick, so the author thinks the smoke is bad. All the streets are the same with a lot of people who are doing the same thing all the time, he doesn’t like industrialization. All the streets look the same. There is a lot of machinery in the town.
