Show transcript
There was no compulsory schooling in Victorian Britain. Education was a luxury only the rich could afford. Ragged schools were designed to provide education to the poorest in society. When analysing a writer's language choices, topic sentences should focus on effect rather than subject terminology. Topic sentences which focus on effect give opportunity to make connections between quotations from across a text.
