Literary & Structural Analysis in Hard Times: Examining Devices
What are we trying to fix?
•
Remote developing regions often lack acces clean water
•
Available water is often contaminated (with E. coli, for example)
So what’s the one thing they have enough of?
Sunlight!
•
Earth’s average solar irradiance is about
1120
W/m
2
per day
Enough to power roughly
100
LED bulbs
Okay, so how do we use that?
•
Light arrives in parallel waves
•
Using a parabolic reflector, light is
focussed into a focal point
•
Focussed light heats up water to
85 degrees centigrade
•
No survivors!
One square meter of mirrors can clean up to…
Liters per day!
61
How did we do it?
Enhance your literary analysis skills with examples from Charles Dickens' "Hard Times." Explore how literary devices like metaphor and personification, along with structural devices such as repetition and syntax, influence the reader's interpretation. Understand the impact of these devices on conveying themes like gloom, oppression, and mechanical existence in the text.

What are we trying to fix? So what s the one thing they have enough of? Remote developing regions often lack acces clean water Available water is often contaminated (with E. coli, for example)
Sunlight! Earth s average solar irradiance is about 1120 W/m2 per day Enough to power roughly 100 LED bulbs
Okay, so how do we use that? Light arrives in parallel waves Using a parabolic reflector, light is focussed into a focal point Focussed light heats up water to 85 degrees centigrade No survivors!
One square meter of mirrors can clean up to 61 Liters per day!
Using an old satellite receiver and aluminium foil, we made a parabolic reflector. 350 degrees centigrade. Where there s smoke, there s fire! Combustion temperature is roughly
