charles dickens

Charles Dickens was a  Victorian classic English literature writer who's work has lasted throughout the years and is still referenced and seen as inspiration to artist writers and historians as he was a big part of molding the Victorian era by bringing the public's attention to how badly the poor people's living conditions were that influenced the way the rich people started charities to help the improve their lives.He was born in Portsmouth on 7 February 1812 and Died in 1870 meaning he lived through the industrial revolution where he wrote how life changing it was for the poor people in the industrial revolution many people died as men,women and children were made to work. So I feel death was a big part of the Victorian era as it was part of normal life and I feel that influenced some of his writing. I love how dickens wrote about people in every day life facing problems that no matter the era everybody faces such as comforting issues like; love,heartbreak,money and the daily struggles of life. He made characters very relatable such as pip, I can relate myself to pip as he's come from a background of not a lot of money and is trying to improve his life but I feel that's relatable to a lot of people as we are all reaching for something better and trying to find the best possible way of living for ourselves. 
          I feel that Dickens was man of the people voicing issues of the time that no one else did he spoke of poverty and crime linked as the less money people had the more crimes they had to commit to survive. which you could also reference from Oliver twist with the children being pick pockets to survive. Dickens suggested that if you helped improve living conditions crime rates would reduce and he spoke how wrong it was for child labor and pointed out that only poor children worked in mills and factories which did result in many deaths or body mutations from limbs being trapped in the machines and the rich were sent to school to receive an education which would help them in later life.
