könntest du guggen ob man da vllt was äöndern könnte?

Tammy, bitte nicht persönlich nehmen, aber: "parliament" ist GENAU die richtige englische Schreibung des Wortes.

Die Review ist nicht lang, stimmt - aber trotzdem solltest du keine Angst davor haben, eine Arbeit mit "Fehlern" drin abzugeben. Wie soll dein Lehrer/deine Lehrerin denn sonst beurteilen, auf welchem Stand du gerade im Englischen stehst? Klingt immer blöd, aber es geht ja nicht nur um Noten, sondern auch um euren Unterricht. Wenn euer Lehrer beim Korrigieren der Hausarbeiten merkt, dass viele Schüler denselben Fehler machen, dann kann er genau das Thema noch mal im Unterricht erklären. :)

Deswegen jetzt auch keine Rundum-Korrektur, sondern nur ein paar grobe Sachen.

The novel “Hard times” written by Charles Dickens IS SET in a northern industrial city, which is called Coketown. Mr. Thomas Gradgrind KOMMA a popular citizen of Coketown KEIN KOMMA who later becomes A MEMBER of KEIN THE parliament and owns a school KOMMA THINKS that only facts and figures are important in life and bases his school and life ON THESE principles. He educates his children KOMMA including Tom and Louisa KOMMA with all important facts and without fancy. The two children KEIN APOSTROPH KEIN S are caught by their father NAME BRAUCHT HIER NICHT one day when they try to see Sleary’s Circus, where A clown KEIN KOMMA called Jupe works. Jupe has a daughter KOMMA Sissy SEMIKOLON and when Jupe leaves the circus and his daughter, Gradgrind invites her to come and live with his family.

The message

NUR: Charles Dickens wantS to tell the reader that facts and figures are not the most important components in life, because you can not be happy IF YOU only STICK TO facts which you can learn FROM books or in other mediA. Emotions like love ARE NOT THE SAME AS FACTS, because EMOTIONS give your life a perspective.

The most important characters and relationships

Thomas Gradgrind
Thomas Gradgrind is the owner of a school and has a very good relationship to his friend Mr. Bounderby. He gives Sissy THE OPPORTUNITY to live in his family but she has to avoid any kind of fancies. He has a very good relationship to HIS daughter Louisa, but he forceS her to marry Bounderby.
(Du schreibst ja im present tense, also: forces und nicht forced.)

Josiah Bounderby
Josiah Bounderby is Gradgrind`s friend and later Louisa`s husband. Bounderby claims to be a self-made man and describes being abandoned by his mother as a young boy. He has HAD a poor childhood, but he has risen to become a banker and factory owner in Coketown. He employs many of the characters in the novel and he is very wealthy.

Louisa Gradgrind
Louisa Gradgrind is one of the central characters of the novel KEIN KOMMA AS WELL. She is the oldest of the Gradgrin KEIN S children and a very intelligent person. When she grows older, her father arranges her marriage to Mr. Bounderby. Her life DEVELOPS IN A BAD WAY, because in the marriage with Mr Bounderby she IS forced to deny her emotions.

Structure of the novel

The novel has AN easy structure with 21 chapters. Only chapter WELCHES? is 3 TO 5 pages long.
Du darfst Bücher nicht mit solchen Adjektiven wie "gut" bewerten. Dashes sind Abkürzungen und sollten ausgeschrieben werden, also nicht -, sondern "to".

It contains great vocabulary and the most of sentences are good written. SIEHE OBEN. Nicht "great", sondern vielleicht "entensive"? Eine Bewertunge wie "well written" steht einem als Analyst oder Interpret nicht zu; wie wär`s mit "the author makes great (im Sinne von "umfangreich") use of a variety of structures"?

A big advantage is that the book has a part, which contains exercises to test your comprehensION. TheRE are many kind of questions KEIN KOMMA which you have to answer KOMMA and you can test KEIN YOURSELF your comprehensION of that novel. Bisschen doppelt gemoppelt, aber geht. :)

The vocabulary of "Hard times" contains great words and a few unknown words. The sentences are long and varied. All in all you can say that the novel is not complicate to understand and CAN BE recommended for pupils.
Problem: vielleicht verstehst du einige Wörter nicht, die Leser damals allerdings schon. "Great words" usw. deswegen weglassen.

Personal statement
In my opinion the novel “Hard Times” written by Charles Dickens is a great book, which I can recommended TO all pupils KEIN KOMMA who are interested in the ranking of fairies and facts in life.
Schöne Idee! Vielleicht besser: .. who are interested in finding out more about the importance of facts and "faries" in one`s life. ?

The cover looks boring, because there is only a part of an industrial city.
Ugh. Solche Bewertungen darf man leider wirklich nicht vornehmen, es sei denn du kennzeichnest das anders. "The cover shows a part of an industrial city and might be described as simple compared to modern-day book covers."

The appearance of the cover is boring, but that can deceive, because THE NOVEL (sonst redest du immer noch vom Cover) is full of irony. Here are a few good examples:

Right at the beginning of the novel the "Speaker" is telling the schoolteacher how to teach. Mrs. Sparsit`s husband ironically dies of alcoholism BRANDY WEG while living in the middle of the decadent port city of Calais. Cecilia Jupe is a student who tries to make "progress" with Gradgrinds, and DickenS ironically relates this to the PiLgrim`s Progress by Bunyan. THAT NOVEL is actually about avoiding sinS and getting to heaven.

ALTOGETHER KOMMA you can say that the book is very interesting and it lets you think about your own life.

3) Point of view: The narrator speaks in the third person and has a limited omniscience. He knows what is going on in all places and at all times, but he sometimes speculates about what the characters might be feeling and thinking, suggesting, at those times, that he does not actually know. SUPER!

the message:

- dass man gefühle nicht mit fakten gleichstellen kann, da gefühle ein wichtiger bestand teil des lebens ist und ohne diese kein glückliches leben geführt werden kann

It is impossible to think of emotions and facts in the same way. Emotions are an integral part of life; without emotions, nobody can actually ever be happy.

structure of the novel
- will sagen, dass das buch gut formuliert ist und gut verständlich ist, ausserdem gut strukturiert ist dass heisst, dass die einzelnen übergänge zwischen den kapitel nachzuvollziehen sind, jedoch ein nachteil ist, dass die zukunft der einzelnen figuren auf einer seite kurz erwähnt wird und somit auch abgeharkt wirkt
The novel is written in a very straight-forward - lustig, dass du das findest, Dickens ist eigentlich Master Of Disaster was das angeht - way and its structure allows the reader to follow the plot easily. One disadvantage that could be mentioned is that the characters developments in the future is given away on only one page. This makes the ending appear cut short.

short summary
- möcht noch erwähnen,dass wenn durch diese mentalität das fakten nur das wichtigste im leben sind, im laufe der geschichte immer zu rütteln beginnt
.... mir ist nicht ganz so klar, was du damit meinst. Eventuell: Even when facts and figures become the most important part of one`s life, this attitude is bound to be shaken through the course of time. ?

Hoffe, das hilft. :)
