in this excerpt from hard times by charles dickens, which lines include images of the horrors of industrialization?

it was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. it was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. it had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
… you saw nothing in coketown but what was severely workful. if the members of a religious persuasion built a chapel there - as the members of eighteen religious persuasions had done - they made it a pious warehouse of red brick, with sometimes (but this is only in highly ornamental examples) a bell in a birdcage on the top of it. the solitary exception was the new church; a stuccoed edifice with a square steeple over the door, terminating in four short pinnacles like florid wooden legs.

Freedoms" speech. i have called for personal sacrifice. i am assured of the willingness of almost all americans to respond to that call. a part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. in my budget message i shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. no person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation. what argument is roosevelt supporting with his appeal to logic in the underlined section of the excerpt? if americans are willing to trust roosevelt, it only makes sense that he will ensure that the tax money is well managed. if americans are willing to make a personal sacrifice, it only makes sense that they will be seen as both noble and patriotic. if americans feel it is right to enter the war, it only makes sense that they will have to pay more in taxes to cover the costs. if americans feel it is right to pay more taxes, it only makes sense that they should also agree it is right to enter the war.
