Reading Report
-----David Copperfield
The setting
1. The story took place in the 18th-19th century(that it is indicated by the historic and cultural background)
2. The story originated at Bluderstone, a small village, in Sufffolk and later in Canterbury.

The characters
1. Besides David Copperfield, there are many main characters concerning the plot. They are Mr. Peggoty, Emily, Betsy, Traddles, Spenlow, , Dora, Agnes and so on.
2. Mr Peggoty is tough guy who married David’s Mother and he always punished David. Traddles befriended David and they had a special relationship. David was apprenticed to Spenlow and Jorkins. David fell in love with a very cute girl, Dora, who is the daughter of the Spenlow. Agnes finally became David’s wife.

The action
David led a miserable life, because he lost his mother in his childhood. He was mentally and physically abused by his step-father. But his mother’s maid, Peggoty, took good care of him. During his study , he befriended Traddles. And later he grew up and was apprenticed to Spenlow. And in the process of apprentice, he acquired many things and experience. He gradually fell in love with Spenlow’s daughter. There are many setbacks between them, but they couldn’t get married because of various reasons. Finally, David found his authentic love and get married with Agnes. They absolutely lived a dynamic and happy life.

My impression
1. As for me, David Copperfield captures the hearts and imagination of generations of readers. Everyone can find the his similar image in the plot. Maybe you have the same feelings and troubles. I really appreciate its vivid description, moving content, and instructive theory.
2. To some extent, it maybe kind of tragedy. What I would like to change is that he could marry Dora. I deem she is a very cute and sympathetic girl. I wish that she could obtain blithe life.

My feelings and experiences
1. As I have mentioned, everyone may come across such kind of experiences. You can find a counterpart in this story. You have the similar setbacks and troubles like him or her.
2. I absolutely admire the elaborate description of every character. It manifests the universal circumstance in that epoch. However, the behaviors of some characters make me feel abominable. They, such as David’s step-father, fully demonstrate the negative part of the society. So I can’t identify with any of the characters.
3. If you are aborative, you may find that Charles Dickens chose the main character, David Copperfield, to describe his own life, thoughts and experiences. This is the reason why several readers describe this classic to be an autobiography of the writer.
4. After reading this book, you may find that author might describe the hero as himself.
It is just like a autobiography of the writer. There existed the same experience and feelings. Although David led a harsh life, finally he lived very happily in companion with his beloved people. David was a very humble and sacrificed his love for Agnes in favor of a sibling-like relationship with her. I admire this kind of person so much. Because he dared to challenge the unfair destiny that he was faced up with. He did his utmost to overcome his obstacle. This is what we need to learn from. To some degree, David showed his bravery and aggressive behaviors. It is really his spiritual wealth.
