Essay on Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (son of John and Elizabeth Dickens) was born on February the 7th , 1812 in Landport, Portsmouth. He died on June 9th, 1870.

The stroke was presumably caused by Charles’s hard working habits. The impecunious little boy in Dickens novels must be the most important character of them all. This character always seems to get the sympathy of the audience/reader. You could say that this character is the drive-train of his stories, because you want to read/watch on because and see what happens to this God forsaken child, and it warms you heart to read/see that he is happy again. Therefore, I personally don’t think that the stories would be nearly as interesting without this little boy.
