David Copperfield

高二（1）班 杨咪

When I read the story of David Copperfield, I was amazed at the main character, David Copperfield.

In his early childhood, I think he was the happiest boy in the world. Though he had not a father, he was surrounded by the love of his mother and the kind housekeeper. They tried their best to give him happiness and what he wanted. In their company, he grew up healthily and happily.

But when Mr. Murdstone who became his stepfather later appeared in his life, his happiness was replaced with sadness. He was no longer the lucky boy that he used to be. He and the housekeeper, especially his mother were totally in Mr. Mudstones’ power. The cold man was determined to crush the little boy, so he behaved badly to the boy in the way that I can’t believe. Things became even worse when David’s mother passed away. David experienced many serious things from which he suffered a lot.

Luckily, he found his aunt and she accepted him. After some ups and downs, he finally achieved happy endings and new life.

As far as I am concerned, he is a brave boy full of courage, belief and confidence. When he meets difficulties, he never gives up but tries his best to overcome the things that many people think impossible. He challenges his bad life and stays optimistic. I admire him and cheer for him.

Aunt Betsey didn’t like boy, so she went away when David Copperfield was born. In David’s childhood, he lived happily with his kind mother and their housekeeper Peggotty. He didn’t need to worry about anything. However, the things changed quickly. Her mother made a mistake. She married a cruel man. David’s life became very hard. Under his inspection, he couldn’t learn well. He tried to struggle with him, but in vain. At last, he was banished to boarding school. To his surprise and happiness, he made a lot of friends there and they helped him a lot. Unluckily, during his school times, his mother died. David howled the cry of an orphan..

Mr. Murstone was still cruel to him. David was sent to work. Luckily, he met two kind people Mr. Quinion and his wife. Though they were poor, they were positive. They suggested that David should go to look for his only relative Aunt Betsey. On his way to Aunt Betsey’s home, his money was robbed by a bad man. It was a struggle for him to find Aunt Betsey. Luckily Aunt Betsey adopted him and she didn’t allow Mr. Murstone to play any further part in his life. He could live free with Aunt Betsey and a kind man Dick.

Aunt Betsey sent David to a new school. He met Mr. Wickfield and his daughter. There was another man called Urich Heep. He was a worm. Urich Heep had scheme and he came to getting his way. He even wanted to marry Agens. At last, David made his hope fall with the help of Mr. Quinion.

The novel has a good ending. David married Agens, lived happily with Aunt Betsey and became a great writer.

From the book, I learnt a lot. When we have trouble, we should be optimistic. The things can always become better in the end. All we need to do is to insist on our belief. We should have courage to fight with evilness and we can’t give in to it. We need to make some true friends, so that we can live more colorful. What’s more, we need have a dream and try our best to realize it!

Who could have guessed that little David Copperfield would at last gain happiness? I didn’t guess it at the beginning, but I knew it would come true when I had finished half of this book. It was David himself who led to this pleasant ending. In general, David was not brave enough, and he was bullied for quite a long time. However, he was smart. He knew what to do when he faced the biggest crossroads in his life which also became one of the most important choices in his life. He had the courage to walk cross cities to earn his future life, so there’s no surprise for his success.

In SALEM HOUSE Steerforth was an angle in a way. He protected David from beating but he can’t beat his selfishness, so he took Emily away. Besides, he was a person who lacks responsibility, as he left Emily aboard. So his death was expected to readers.

So, I think every thing leads to an end.

This book tells about David Copperfield. David lived with his mother and their housekeeper Peggotty at first. However, his mother then married Mr. Murdstone, who was a cruel man and who treated David badly. Soon, his mother died and he was forced to work at a warehouse. Then, David escaped and found his great aunt. Finally, David became a successful writer and married Agnes.

   From David Copperfield, I think we should have hopes all the time. I think hope deserts us at no period of our existence. Sometimes, when we feel hopeless, then something good may happen and they surprise us very much. Like David, his aunt adopted him finally. So what we need to do is working hard with hope. And finally, we can be successful.

   Besides, I believe kind people will have good results at last. Like Agnes, she loved David, but David first married Dora. Agnes certainly felt very disappointed. However, she did not envy Dora and she treated David as her best friend instead. When Dora died, she helped David a lot. When David traveled abroad, she encouraged David to insist on his dream. Finally, David fell in love with her and married her. So I think we should always keep our kind hearts. We should believe that we can realize our dreams if we treat others kindly and faithfully. Do you think so?

  A hopeful and kind person can succeed at last.

  So be a person with hope and kindness!

When I first saw the name of the book, I just thought of the character ‘David Copperfield’ as the magician in the USA. However, when I have read the book, I found that I was wrong . So I was disappointed about the book.

But a Chinese poet ever said “A sudden glimpse of hope in the dark mist of bewilderment, it is a long lane that has no turning.” While I was devoted to reading the book, I found it interesting.

David Copperfield was a boy who lost his parents when he was young. Compared with us, he was unfortunate. Far more about it, his stepfather was very strict with him and was so cruel that he always beat David. Daid was very poor, so I teared when I watched the film.

To our surprise, David was cheered up. He knew that all thing depended on himself, even though he was only a child. He made a plan, that he should centered on his living relative, Great-Aunt Betsey Trotwood. He started walking out of London on the Dover road. He was tired and penniless!

Finally, he made it to Dover and kind Betsey took him in. By that time, he had began a new and happy life. When he grew up, he became a good writer as his mother expected. During his life, he was helpful, so he had many friends. Also, two beautiful girls fell in love with him .He was always unlucky, his first wife died at a young age. He was very sad about it .But he was still brave and calm. During that period of time, he wrote many famous books.

Then I knew “Only when we have underwent the hardest time could we make great successes. Always have a dream. Forget about the days when it's been cloudy, but don't forget your hours in the sun. Forget about the times you've been defeated, but don't forget the victories you've won. Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered, but don't forget the times your luck has turned. Forget about the days when you've been lonely, but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen. Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right, but don't forget to always have a dream.”

        I have a great admiration for the main character, David after reading this book. Faced with happiness and sadness in life, David became a thoughtful man. He finally gained his happiness. What moved me most is David's spirit. The one he showed when facing the difficulties. He never gave up. Under his stepfather's force, he didn't give up even though he was only a child. When he was banished and had to face the curl principle, he never gave up. When hearing the death of his mother, he overcame his sorrow and encouraged himself to live on. He also experienced the warehouse, the death of his friends and the struggle with unpleasant Heep. He was also helpful even though he suffered a lot of things. He helped Mr. Wickfield to get rid of Heep's control. I think what I can learn from David is that I should always be positive wherever I am just as David does.

My name is David Copperfield, my life has been full of ups and downs. My story started in Suttolk where I was born and then I lived with my mother and our housekeeper Peggotty. Later my mother married a very a very cruel man, Mr Murdstone, which became an awful news because Mr. Murdstone was the kind of man that smothered all hope and happiness. He was very strict with me and often beat me. After the terrible things that I bit him, I was banished to boarding school and there I made a new friend who took good care of me named Steerforth. When I came back to my home, the bad news I heard was that my mother died and I howled the cry of becoming an orphan. I felt as if my whole world had just shattered. Then it became a hard time during my life. I was sent to the warehouse to work there. My jobs were to wash empty wine bottles, paste labels on full ones. One dreary day in the warehouse, I thought I could run away in search of a better life. I made a plan and finally I met my only living relative, Great-Aunt Betsey Trotwood and lived happy there. My aunt offered me a new school and then I lived at Mr. Wickfileld and I made a new friend named Agnes. However, there was also a scheme there, the red-haired boy Uriah was thinking to cost Mr. Wickfield’s money and he wanted to marry his daughter, Agnes. Luckily, his scheme was not successful.

Finally , I married Agnes and lived happily with my Aunt Betsey.

From the story, I learned that we should be a brave and loved person. Sometimes when you meet trouble, you needn’t cry for what you lost and feel hopeless, you should be positive and take the chance to change our lives.

 

  

How to educate a child?

高二（1）班  郭姜慧

David’s mother loved him very much. She had never shouted at David and she allowed David to do anything he liked. That’s not right. Parents should love their children, but they shouldn’t love them too much. If parents satisfy their children all they want, they will become spoiled. For example, some children are over-fatted. They eat too much unhealthy food like hamburgers and chips. Their parents never stopped them, just because they liked eating this food. However, they don’t realize that their love does harm to their children, and they are continuing to harm their children.

Mr. Murdstone was too strict with David. Maybe he treated David so badly because David wasn’t his own son. In fact, some fathers often whack their children when they don’t listen to them or make some mistakes. Even though they are good for their children, the way they treat their children is wrong. When their children are too young to understand them, they may think their father doesn’t like him or her. Then they would be afraid of their father even hate them. Parents should be patient. When their children make a mistake carelessly, they should point out the mistake and help them to think of a solution. Parents should encourage their children to do something they don’t like instead of ordering them. Sometimes, parents’ support is the best help to children.

Maybe Aunt Betsey’s education was the best of the three. Under her education. David became a successful man. However. Aunt Betsey didn’t believe men. In my opinion, believing others is an important ability. If you doubt everyone around you, your life will be boring and sad. However, that’s not mean you should believe everyone. You should have your own idea. Parents should believe their children and let them fly freely in their own sky.

 

New beginnings

高二（1）班 许颖

David Copperfield’s life has been full of ups and downs. His mother died when he was banished to a boarding school. His cruel step-father considered him as a bad boy and sent him to work in the warehouse. Luckily, he got rid of him and had a new life with his aunt Betsey.

David was a unfortunate man, but he was so brave to overcome the difficulty. When he began a new life, he worked hard and become a successful writer. Though his beautiful wife Dora died, David began a new life with Agnes again, and had a happy ending.

Our life is full of difficulties too. We can’t do everything successfully and easily. If we can’t fight against the difficulties, we will have a hard life. David’s courage is admirable. We should be inspired by him
