Charles Dickens Other Works
I decided to look up other novels Charles Dickens has wrote, to see if any of them are very familiar. He also wrote "Great Expectations", which sounds very familiar, but I've never known what it is about. In case you're wondering as well, it is about a boy whose goodness saves him from being persecuted. Another novel Charles Dickens wrote is "Nicholas Nickleby", which is about a school where they dispatch bad children. It seems that Dickens likes writing about younger kids! Here is the book covers of these novels.

Charles Dickens also wrote "A Christmas Carol". I can't help but see some similarities in Tiny Tim and Oliver...It seemed he liked to write novels with struggling young kids. On a brighter note, a lot of Dicken's books have been made into plays. A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and Great Expectations are just a few out of many.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Tiny Tim and Oliver seem pretty similar. I also looked up some of his other books and found that very many of them were written with a lot of influence of his childhood evident within the story. For example, in "Little Dorrit" he describes prison, and "Bleak House" describes his times as a law clerk. I think that his tough early life inspired him to write a lot, and I also read that he didn't like to talk about his childhood, so I believe that he weaved it into some of his stories to help talk about his feelings.
