YEAR 13 26th Sept 17.

























Class discussion considered the significance of chapters 5 to 10. The first TEN chapters will be the focus of our first essay. Students need to read ALL the resources I have presented to you and consider the following questions:

  • How does Dickens represent his contempt for the Utilitarian Education System?
  • How does Dickens use metaphor and symbol to represent the crushing experience of industrialisation in COKETOWN?
  • How does Dickens manipulate the reader to view a character as sympathetic or unsympathetic?
  • Why does Dickens value the human imagination?
  • Why does Dickens offer so many references to the language of the Fairy Tale?
  • How does Dickens present the Circus and why?
  • WHY IS DICKENS SO ANGRY?
I expect a precise and textually specific class discussion on Friday.

HOMEWORK: Read the text, digest the resources posted on the previous blog entry below:
