          The Industrial Revolution was a period in the 18^th and 19^th centuries, where changes in agriculture, manufacturing, transport and technology thrive. It was a time when ideas from all over the world were able to be shared. It marked a major turning point in human history.

         The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain for a number of reasons. At that time, Great Britain was the leading power of the world. Through its colonies it had natural resources and ready-made markets for its finished goods. With its dominance of the seas, it had a greater ability to transport goods than any other nation at that time.

         The textile industry is a good example of how the Industrial Revolution developed over time. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, England imported its cloth, which caused the prices to be high. Then in the 1600s, England began importing raw cotton and making their own cloth. At first, cotton farmers were also cotton weavers. They would spin thread and weave cloth from the cotton they grew. Then merchants would buy the finished product. As the demand for more cloth increased, the cottage weavers couldn’t keep pace. By the 1700s, new machines, such as the Flying Shuttle (1733), the Spinning Jenny (1764), the Waterframe (1769), and the Mule (1779), were invented to make cloth production faster and easier. Within a span of 50 years, the textile industry had changed from a small cottage industry into a big business.

         For many people the Industrial Revolution meant wealth. With machines working at a much faster 

rate than human hands, people were able to produce goods faster and more efficiently. Fewer and fewer 

workers were needed in the fields. People began to move into the cities, where there were more job 

opportunities. Within a short amount of time, Great Britain had urbanized from fields of green into a 

concrete jungle.

• Is there anything we know about the author that is pertinent to our evaluation? Charles Dickens didn't complete his story all at once. He had divided the book into 3 parts ( Recalled to Life, The Golden Thread, The Track of a Storm). It was originally a series in All the Year Around. Because of his book being split into three parts, it left cliffhangers that keep the public anxious to want to continue to read; so it was one of few books that had NEVER gone out of print.
• Why does the document exist? A Tale of Two Cities, is considered a "historical novel" that took an historical even and made it into a story. It is telling of (mainly) the French and English Revolution.
• Why did the author create this piece of work? Charles Dickens was steeped in the subject ,especially being swept off his feet by the work of Carlyle's. The horror of the French Revolution has always made an appeal to the imaginative mind.

• What can we tell about the author's perspectives in this piece? Charles Dickens thought this time of history was horrifying, though intriguing at the same time. The French Revolution somehow always makes an appeal to the imaginative mind.
• What was going on in history at the time the piece was created? Charles Dickens lived during the 19th century (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870). During his time, things weren't going well. His father was in debtor's prison and not long after the rest o the family joined him (except Charles). In order to get his family out, Charles had to work day and night in factories. Things were rough, but eventually he was able to rejoin with his family.

{Quotes}

"It was the best of time, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it ws the season of Light, it wsa the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everythying before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way --- in short, ther period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being recieved, for good or for eveil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." --- A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens (Opening passage of the book)

                                " It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done ; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

Communication and Transportation




How the Industrial Revolution changed our world.
From a field, with a house or two, to a small village, to factories.
The deep blue ,clear river; to a dark musty river; to a completely polluted dump.
