George Orwell claimed that Charles Dickens’s ability to evoke visual images has never been matched. Develop a position that either supports or refutes Orwell’s claim that "When Dickens has once described something you see it for the rest of your life." State your position (thesis) and appropriate evidence to support your argument. Your evidence may include your reading of Chapter 1 or any other Dickens text, your relevant personal experiences, and your observations.

Answer and Explanation:

George Orwell was a great admirer of the Charles Dickens Work, always praising the author's unequaled ability to make readers live the stories he created, with an impressive ability to provoke mental images in readers. Anyone who has read at least one work written by Dickens can confirm that Orwell is correct, since Dickens' writing ability is unequaled.

We can confirm this by citing one of Dicken's best-known works, "a crhistimas carrol", highlighting the influence that Dickens's writing had on the Christmas traditions that we preserve today. In this work, the protagonist, a greedy man, is visited by three spirits who totally modify his view of Christmas and his own behavior.

However, what I want to emphasize in this text is Dickens' descriptive ability when narrating the scenario where the spirit of Christmas present appears for the first time. Dickens describes in detail a warm, pleasant and impeccably decorated environment, in addition, Dickens describes the Christmas dinner, the way it should be established, citing all the foods, colors, textures, smells and sensations that the environment has. At this moment, Dickens makes a wide use of adjectives, so that the reader can visualize the scene to the point of participating in it, in addition, the strong use of imagery by the author, allows the reader not only to see, but to feel and hear everything is being narrated.

This description was so efficient that it made the population want to reproduce this environment in their homes every Christmas, because that was how Christmas should be celebrated.

i cant see the passage although i do know hyperbole means overly exaggerated such as "i can eat an enter horse"! i hope this you!
