Written and set during the first half of the 19th century, Charles Dickens’s novella ‘A Christmas Carol’ presents not only a warning to society but presents his critique of the morality and injustice of the Victorian era.

Dickens uses the characters of Scrooge, Marley, and Bob Cratchit to develop a moral warning against the consequences of heartless and selfish actions.

‘Why is Sixty Lights worthy of critical study and inclusion on the HSC Prescriptions List for module B- Critical Study of Text?’ The novel Sixty Lights has been included on the HSC Prescriptions List for Module B because it is worthy for critical study as it is a diverse piece of literature covering significant topics that have been ignored in the modern world.

John Mackey Mrs. White Honors English 10/ 4th period 4 March 2012 Ironic Downfall into the Catacombs The literary devices irony and foreshadowing are used to accent one another. Edgar Allan Poe craftily uses both of these devices in order to make his stories tricky and deceitful to the characters but obvious to the reader. As the devices intertwine they allow for stories to become more complex and meaningful.

This makes the reader feel sorry and sympathetic towards Pip. This shows that the relationship between pip and Mrs Joe is “unlovable” as she always abuses Pip, by beating him up, and is never kind to him, through her harsh language. The fact that there is alliteration used in this quote makes it much more memorable to the reader and it will make us remember how Pip used to be treated when he was younger. Also, the fact that Mrs Joe always repeats saying that she raised Pip “by hand” emphasises how hard it must have been for Mrs Joe to bring up Pip as to who he is now. If Mrs Joe had said this in a ‘nicer way’, somehow it would have made the reader feel sorry for Mrs Joe as well as Pip.
