The second book I choose this time is "David Copperfield". There are 96 pages in this book. The level of the book was 1200 words, which is higher than last book I chose. The author of this book is Charles Dickens, who is one of the most popular writers of all time. He began writing "David Copperfield" in 1849, and the book was retold by Nigel Grimshaw. Dickens had his first success as a writer with "The Pickwick Papers". By the age of twenty-four he was already famous, and he stayed famous until he died. He wrote different kinds of books, fiction and nonfiction, such as "Oliver twist", "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Christmas Carol".
The story is about David Copperfield. When he was born, his father had died. His mother and he were interdependent, but they had a loyal servant, Peggotty.The years went past and David Copperfield reached the age of six. His happy life suddenly changes when his mother married again. Her new husband, Mr.Murdstone, was cruel to him and sent him away to school at Salem House. The headmaster of that school was very evil, but he had a good friend, Mr. Steerfourth. After later, her mother passed away too. His stepfather hated David, and sent him to work in London.
I have not finished it yet, but I have already finished reading chapter seven. This book is very fascinating, so let me can't help reading. David Copperfield`s life was hard, but he didn`t give up. The spirit is worth studying. I can not wait to see the ending.
