In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

As a reader, you need to be aware that authors make word choices. As an author, you are responsible for choosing your words carefully. Why is word choice so important? Note the following list of words. Each one means a shade of the color red.

red:scarlet blood rust maroon flame cherry ruddy



NARRATOR: Look at the word red. It’s a good word for illustrating the importance of word choices. You could use the word red in a sentence, but you could also use other words that mean the color red. Such words could be found in a thesaurus, which is similar to a dictionary but contains synonyms of words. There you might find words like: scarlet, blood, rust, maroon, flame, cherry, and ruddy.

The moon was blood red. The moon was rust colored. The moon was a great cherry in the sky.

All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation, which means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling. A “rust colored” moon could mean that the year is aging like a rusting piece of metal. A “cherry moon” is a happy moon, making the reader think of warm summer evenings.







There are even more words out there that mean the color red. Such words can be found in a reference book called a thesaurus. A thesaurus is similar to a dictionary except that instead of definitions, it contains synonyms of words. A thesaurus is a great way to add sparkle to your writing.



Why are so many different words necessary? To find out, read the following sentences:

1 –The moon was blood red.

2 –The moon was rust colored.

3 –The moon was a great cherry in the sky.



All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation. Connotation just means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling—the feeling that something has or is just about to go very wrong. A “rust colored” moon indicates more of a fall feeling, and could mean that the year is getting old like a piece of metal left out to rust in the rain. A cherry moon is a happy moon; it makes the reader think of summer time and warm evenings. Are you starting to understand the power of choosing just the right word to describe the moon?

Look back at the beginning of Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” Poe starts the story with the sentence, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.”

Why do you think Poe wrote that? Why didn’t he just write, “Fortunato insulted me, so I decided to get even”? Think about the connotations of the words “injuries,” “insult,” and “revenge.” These words were chose to create a particular feeling at the beginning of this dark story.
