Hi 9I, I won't introduce myself because you all already know me, so instead I'll introduce the person I've been studying for the last few weeks. I studied Charles Dickens; an extraordinary writer and perhaps the only man who could compete with Shakespeare, according to Charles's World by Martin Fido.Charles John Huffam Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, on February 7, 1812. Although he missed a childhood, he had a life extraordinary that included extremely important events that shaped his writing style, which I will delve into soon. And also a legacy that is still remembered and will be remembered for years to come and, finally, his supposedly egalitarian writing style. The purpose of this presentation is to help all of you gain a deeper insight into Dickens and his extraordinary writing career so that you can decide whether he is an egalitarian. In my opinion, I'm honestly very conflicted, and you'll soon understand why. Ok, so probably the first important event is that Charles's life occurred shortly after he moved to London, when his father was imprisoned for debts in Marshalsea Debtors' Prison. , now forcing Charles to work in a shoe dye factory, living away from his family. He was only eleven years old. While this doesn't have much relevance to egalitarianism, or any other ism, I believe that these actions had a great influence in shaping both Charles' life and his writing. In his writings, he was often recorded as having edited his works based on what his readers would say about a particular character or plot. An example of this can be found on Wikipedia and describes an instance where Charles's wife's pedicurist expressed distress over a main character... center of the card... a man with an extraordinary legacy. It is questionable whether he lived by egalitarian values, for he was himself and his self changed as his writing matured. In my personal opinion, I think Charles became a different man when he wrote and therefore showed separate values, but if you take away the writing aspect, he himself was an egalitarian man. And just to end on a better note, I have some facts about Charles. For example, he insisted on sleeping with the bed aligned north to south; the head faces north and the feet face south. Additionally, it is responsible for adding 247 new words and phrases to the language and has the first-ever reference to potato chips. So there you have it, Charles Dickens. Is he an egalitarian? I'll leave the decision up to you as it's a very debatable topic. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
