I have a book report due tomorrow (im a procrastinator) and it needs to be about three topics that Charles Dickens wrote about and also had to do with his life. I already have two topics: 1. Conditions under which working class people lived (he worked in a factory when he was 12) and 2. Death (deaths in his family). both of these topics have to do with the main characters of books that he wrote and i just need one more topic. Please help!

Look for life this time through your idea box. Think of some aspect of Dicken's life you know about that was a good thing, that was life-affirmiing, because Dicken's did that well, also-- so you can find a sample in his literature more easily. You've done the bad stuff!

On the lighter side, you could say that Dickens pretty much invented the celebration of Christmas as we know it today and the creation of what we call the Christmas Season--Through A Christmas Carol, and many of his shorter pieces, Dickens made all the traditions of Christmas, the shopping, the parties, the decorations, the feasting and the love and sharing, special and magical, not only because of their religious significance, but because of their own existence. In Dickens' own life, he loved to celebrate the holidays in a very grand style, loved giving parties, giving magic shows for his children, putting on amateur theatricals, dancing, and performing his own works----he also carried on the spirit of the season in charitable works and writings, bringing the plight of the poor to the attention of his readers and urging them to donate time, money and energy to their assistance, not only at Christmas, but, as the title of one of his regular periodical publications read, "All the Year Round".

probable my well-known author of all time. in case you have in no way study any Dickens formerly, start up with some thing user-friendly, like "A Christmas Carol" or "A tale of two cities." you will get a experience for his type without getting overwhelmed via the intensity and complexity of a few of his different works. i could additionally recommend "great expectancies" and "David Copperfield" (very lengthy, yet so very relaxing).
