Background information: charles dickens visited the united states in
1842. due to his interest in the treatment of factory workers, he visited the
lowell mills in massachusetts. this is an excerpt from his observations
which of these generalizations does dickens support in the passage?
the factories in britain produce finer goods than the ones in lowell,
i have carefully abstained from drawing a comparison
between these factories and those of our own land. many
of the circumstances whose strong influence has been at
work for years in our manufacturing towns have not
arisen here; and there is no manufacturing population in
lowell, so to speak: for these girls (often the daughters of
small farmers) come from other states, remain a few
years in the mills, and then go home for good. the
contrast would be a strong one, for it would be between
the good and evil, the living light and deepest shadow.
pause and reflect upon the difference between
this town and those great haunts of desperate misery.
the working and living conditions in britain are far more miserable
than in lowell.
the factories in lowell and britain are very similar.
both the british and american governments have worked to improve
working conditions.
