The course work analysis of charles dickens stories

CONCLUTION Sometimes people ask how I came to make a site devoted to the life of Charles Dickens.
After reading about his life, I was struck by the fact that from a very early age, Charles Dickens knew he wanted to be a gentleman. Unfortunately, the odds weren’t in his favor.
His family was constantly on the edge of financial and social disaster.
They had some limited funds put aside to send one of their children to a university or academy.
Mr. and Mrs. John Dickens considered the talents and qualifications of all their children. They wanted to use the money earmarked for education where it would do the most good.
It was as if they were placing all their bets on one child.
Charles was not that child. His parents chose to send their daughter, Fanny, to school. She had a talent for music and was sent to an academy.
Not long after that, they sent Charles to work at the blacking factory. It was the darkest time of his life. It seemed as if everything was against him.
However, Charles Dickens had talent, and more importantly, he had the desire and drive to succeed. He had a dream and a firm belief in himself.
As a result, Charles Dickens worked hard to make his dream life into reality His drive was a double-edged sword. The force of will that enabled him to succeed sometimes prevented him from taking an honest look at his own life.
He was stubborn and sometimes quick-tempered. He often blamed others for the problems that he himself caused.
And yet, how many of us have tried for a day or even an hour to let the spirit of Christmas live in our heart.
At the end of the day, a study of the life of Charles Dickens has taught me several things.
Perfection is not a qualification for or the measure of success. Secondly, no person or set of circumstances can define us. We are defined by what we do.
ADDING INFORMATION In January 1842 Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine, traveled to the United States. Dickens wanted to see the sites, learn about the country and do research for a future series of articles.

While on tour Dickens often spoke of the need for an international copyright agreement. The lack of such an agreement enabled his books to be published in the United States without his permission and without any royalties being paid. This situation also affected American writers like Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s works were published in England without his consent.

Dickens first realized that he was losing income because of the lack of national in international copyright laws in 1837 when The Pickwick Papers was published in book form. At times the novel was reprinted without his permission and sometimes even imitated. Some of Dickens’s struggles with copyright laws made it into his fiction.

In this scene from Nicholas Nickleby, Nicholas is speaking to a man “who had dramatised in his time two hundred and forty-seven novels as fast as they had come out–some of them faster than they had come out.”
