Comparison
Text 1: taken from the current text
Text 2: Charles Dickens writes about a popular London fair held in London.
Text 1: “This is my sixth time at Glastonbury and I’ve never had any trouble.” Indeed, on my train to Castle Cary, the carriages are crammed with well-spoken degree students sipping Pimms and making polite chit chat. The acts for 2005 included Coldplay, Elvis Costello and the American rock band The Killers, who brought a touch of salubriousness to the proceedings by performing in tuxedo jackets and Glitter. But Glastonbury has still managed to preserve a healthy degree of wackiness.
Text 2: Imagine yourself in an extremely dense crowd, which swings you to and fro, in and out, and every way but the right one; add to this the screams of women, the shouts of boys, the clanging of gongs, the firing of pistols, the ringing of bells, the bellowings of speaking-trumpets, the squeaking of penny dittos the noise of a dozen bands, with three drums in each, all playing different tunes at the same time, the hallooing of showmen, and an occasional roar from the wild-beast shows; and you are in the very centre and heart of the fair.
Compare how the writers have conveyed their different views and experiences of the festival and fair they describe.
This response will be reviewed and graded after submission.
