In this excerpt from hard times by charles dickens, which three sections include images of the horrors of industrialization?
it was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town
of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. it was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable
serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. 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, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
you saw nothing in coketown but what was severely workful. if the members of a religious persuasion built a chapel there - as the
members of eighteen religious persuasions had done - they made it a pious warehouse of red brick, with sometimes (but this is only in
highly ornamental examples) a bell in a birdcage on the top of it. the solitary exception was the new church; a stuccoed edifice with a
square steeple over the door, terminating in four short pinnacles like florid wooden legs.
