Answer:
The first book's title sowing relates to
the events, characters, and themes in
the sense that Dickens was concerned
with the miserable lives of the poor
and working classes in the England of
his day. He called this first book of the
Hard Times novel "Sowing" because
he is introducing the characters and
it is like their personalities are being
planted by all the institutions that are
part of industrialization. Dickens thinks
that industrialization is harmful to the
minds and morality of the working
classes because humans are turned
into machines and they are schooled
to suppress the development of their
emotions and imagination.
