Writing About Charles Dickens 'Sketch' on people facing death penalty

Dickens choice of language with direct address to the reader leads the reader to imagine themselves in the same situation as the condemned prisoner. "conceive the situation of a man, spending his last night on earth in this cell." The verb conceive makes the reader feel empathy for the prisoner's. This is because the prisoners are all ready to die, and spending their last night in a cell is not the best way to spend your last night. 

Charles Dickens uses an interesting verb "echoes" to talk about how the prisoners are feeling in the sentence "some passing vehicle echoes mournfully." The adverb "mournfully" describes the echoes as being deathlike. "echoes" means the deathlike noises are going through their heads and has a mental and physical effect on the prisoners, and allows the reader to imagine hearing the noises in the cell.

Missing word in first sentence... Capital letter missing... 

Agony ...    stone dungeon 

Dickens uses interesting vocabulary choices throughout the text. In the line "every muscle of his frame quivering with agony,"  the noun agony shows that he isn't experiencing pain he is experiencing an unbelievable pain and this helps the reader understand and imagine what the prisoner is experiencing.
