THOUGHT ON READING DAVID COPPERFIED
  It is a story dealing with the life of an ordinary person from childhood to maturity. It is called David Copperfied. When I read this novel for the first time,   I was attracted by not only Dickens’ spirit and humorous language, but also the lifelike and abundant character of every personage in the novel.

As the time goes by , these images will always be remembered by us and not be diluted by anything.
  It is not difficult to find out that the protagonist’s growth road is bumpy and indignant. In the meantime, we also find there are so many true friends around the protagonist. They always help David when he meet some...
