Trouble is a friend

葛周敏

“My life has been full of ups and downs.” The writer Charles Dickens starts his novel with this sentence. I feel it strong and practical. However, not only David but also everyone in the novel has the same experience--full of ups and downs.Then, I will tell you something of the main characters.

First, I think David is very lucky. Though there are many bad people around his life, there are also a lot of kind peoples in his life, such as Peggnoty, Aunt Betsey and so on. While his step-father treateded him in a terrible way and so did the boarding school’s teachers, David grew up toughly but healthily. He didn’t lose his way in his life and never harmed others. David became a writer and had a happy life at last.

Second, I want to talk about Aunt Betsey. According to the passage, she was a good aunt and a good person. She took in David when he was alone in the world, raised him and helped him to find work. We don’t know why she did so, but we must say that Aunt Betsey had a kind spirit, a shiny spirit.

The last, I want to tell something about David’s second wife—Ange. Obviously, Ange appeared late in the novel. She was Aunt Betsey’s lawyer’s daughter. David thought she was very beautiful but never imagined that she should be his wife. When the old lawyer was trapped with trouble, Ange turned to David for helpand built a good friendship. It was Ange who cheered him up and encouraged him to be a writer when David was in deep sadness after his first wife’s death.At last, they got married with all people’s good wishes.

The novel tells the readers how to deal with trouble and how to face difficulties. We should deal with trouble with our true heart and face difficulties bravely. At the same time, we should enjoy our life and love our friends, family. God gives us lives and he gives us trouble, too. To some, trouble means enemies. To others, trouble is a friend which is worth a lot. If we treat him friendly, he will return us a lot. We should live actively and then we can gain happiness at last. Please believe that!

Through the story, David Copperfield had a very hard life in the beginning but his ending is good, which make me happy. I think he can gain happiness at last bacause he never gave up and was kind to others.

His father had died six months before he was born. So David lived with his mother and their housekeeper Peggotty. But his aunt, Betsey Trotwood didn't like him.Then his mother married a very cruel man, Mr Murdstone. David was sent to boarding school. He was always considered as a bad child. He can't get his mother's love because of his step-father.

Because Mr Murdstone did badly to his mother, his mother died and David bacame an orphan. David left the warehouse to find his aunt, who took him in. I think she was a kind person. She didn't hate he any more and looked after he well. Soon she sent David to a new school, where David had a different life. David always worked hard and was friendly to others. Then he decided to become a lawyer.I am very sad when his first wife died. But later David became a successful writer and married another good girl,Agnes.

After reading the story, I know if you want to succeed and gain happiness, you should be positive and work hard and always be kind to others. When we meet difficulty, we shouldn't give up and be sad.

When I first saw the title of the book David Copperfield, I thought that the book may be about the great magician. However, it is not the same as what I thought. David Copperfield was a successful writer. He lived a hard and terrible life when he was young. The book is mainly about the growth of David. After finishing the book, many thoughts came up in my mind.

There are many characters in the book. Difficult characters have different qualities and personalities. David’s stepfather was a very cruel man. His name was Murdstone and he was the kind of man that smothers all hope and happiness like his name stone. He was like a evil ghost and he ordered David’s mother and bullied her. David was sent away to boarding school because of Mr Murdstone’s. Unfortunately, David’s mother died because living with the cruel Murstone used up every bit of her strength. Then Mr Murdstone was more strict with David. He sent David to work at a warehouse. Though David became an orphan, he didn’t give in and he found his great aunt, Miss Betsey Trotwood. His great aunt was a kind and helpful woman. She gave David a home and looked after him, and this gave him a glimmer of hope that she might care well for him.
David began a happier life with his anut. David went to work at a law firm where he met Uriah Heep who caused many problems and Agnes who became his good friend. Uriah Heep was a cheat and forger. He had a big scheme, that is he wanted to replace Mr Wickfield and marry Agnes. As a result, Uriah Heep did get his way. Mr Micawber listed Uriah Heep’s crimes. Uriah’s face twisted with rage. David resolved the problems caused by Heep and married a beautiful young woman. Sadly she died, but in time David became a successful writer and married Agnes.
As far as I am concerned, the main character David had a special life. His experiences were full of difficulties and dangers. But he overcame them one by one. He was hard-working, brave and optimistic. At that point, he became an orphan but he didn’t give in to life. He found the hope of life and lived happily finally.

David Copperfield is a poor child. He could have lived with his mother and Peggotty happily. Real life is always so cruel. Mr Murdstone, his stepfather treated him badly. He was so weak that he couldn't defend himself against a fully-grown man. He was sad when his mother died and became an orphan.

David Copperfield couldn't bear the behaviour of Mr Murdstone and his sister, so he started to live with his aunt. Though his aunt didn't like boys, he could also feel the love and care from her. Then he knew Agnes and Mr Wickfied which made him happy while there were some things making him feel blue such as the death of Dora and his friends. At last little David Copperfield gained happiness from Aunt Betsy and his wife Agnes.

We may not have such experiences, but we can meet problems in our life. Facing them, they may treat them bravely and will be positive. For others, they may want to escape and will be negative. The result of the story tells us we should be brave and also be thankful to those who help you.

Have you been inspired to solve the problems from the story? Maybe we can learn the attitude to the life from him.

I will never forget a story called David Copperfield. Because it has a good effect on me.

David Copperfield's life was full of ups and downs. His early childhood was very happy. But when his mother married a very cruel man, Mr Muidstone was rude to him and David was sent away to boarding school where David met Steerforth and they became friends. Even though the life at Mr Creakle's school was still boring and harsh, he was happy at times. When he met some problems, Steerforth always helped him.

When he was told that her mother died, he was very sad. He was forced to work at a warehouse. Then he found his aunt, Miss Betssy Trowood, and he lived happily with her.

David went to work at a law firm where he met Uriah Heep. Uriah Heep was terrible and caused a lot of problems. He wanted to achieve his goals. But at last, David resolved the problems. David married a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, she died but in time David became a successful writer and fell in love with Agnes.

From this story, I can know that David was very brave. When he was in trouble, he didn't give up. He tried his best to get out of trap. I dislike Mr Muidstone because he was so cruel. I really can't imagine that he treated a child like that.

 We should learn from David and face the reality bravely.

The book is talking about a boy called David Copperfield whose life is rough. Copperfield's father had died six mouths before he was born. Then his mother married Mr Murdstone. After reading the book I think his mother's choice was a mistake. Murdstone was very cruel. He sent Copperfield to a shabby boarding school when David's mother died and then sent David to London to work in the warehouse.

He trapped David's mother like a caged bird and bullied and broke her. I think Mr Murdstone is a foul wretch and everyone can look down upon him. If I were David, I can't bear to live with the hateful Murdstone.

The book also has some plots which surprise me. For example, Ham lost his life for saving a people. In the end, we found the person he wanted to save is Steerforth, who encouraged Emilly to run away.

After reading the book, I think everyone has chances to get happiness. David's life has been

full of ups and downs but at last, he gains happiness. So we should try our best to pursue happiness. We shouldn't complain our lives, we should be positive and optimistic.

When I first saw the title, I thought it may tell the story of David Copperfield who was known for his magic. But when I finish reading, I eventually know it is not about magic. It is a novel based on the experiences of David Copperfield. Charles Dickens , the writer, is also considered one of the great early writers.

 David was considered as a bad child when he was young. Mr Murdstone often ruthlessly beated him. I think he's father was like the devil as well. David's motherand Peagotty loved David very much. But they were under Mr Murdstone's control. When he was nine, he was sent to the boarding school where he recognized Steerforth who often helped and protected him and they became friends. David was happy in the school. Afterhis mother died, David was arranged to work at a warehouse.

 But not everyone in David life was not good. His aunt, Miss Betsey Trotwood was a kind and helpful woman. David lived a happy life with her. With his aunt's help, David went to work at a law firm where he met Uriah Heep. Uriah Heep was a man who was full of scheme. He used a despicable means to become Agnes's father's partner. Besides, he also wanted to marry Agnes. What a joke! David tried his best to stop this. And during this experience, he found his true love -Dora. He married her and had a good time with her. Sadly, she died but in time David became a successful writer and married Agnes.

David’s life was full of joys and sorrows. In the novel the formation of a series of tragedy is money. From the experience of David, I think we should be optimistic while meeting unpleasant things because everything would be fine. On the other hand, unpleasant things can also be the motivation to live better.

 

 

Wishes to the word

丁诗雅

David Copperfied was written by Dickens. Before I kew this, I didn't pay much attention to the book. But when I knew that another great writter, Toerstire, liked the book so much that he read the book many times, I cared more about this book.

David had many qualities that could be found from ourselves. He was innocent, hard-working, honesty and enthusiastic.When his stepfather treated him cruely, he tried his best to put up with him and urged himself not to fight with the evil man. When I read about this, I had a lot of sympathy for David. My heart was shivering when David was beaten by Mr Murdstone. Luckily, David met a kind boy, Steerforth. Steerhouse helped David a lot, but did a lot of bad things to

Poggttys. There is no perfect person in the world.

To be honest, I like Aunt Betsey best. She was a perfect aunt indeed. She was wealthy but very kind. She helped David without any rewards. She never cared about the money she had spent on David. I belive she was the best role above all characters covered in the book.

The world has created many kind people. However, I know that there're still many people like Uriah and his mother. They always do things that harm others and just benefit themselves. In spite of this fact, I still think if someone really loves another person, he will do everything for

the person.

David must be a lucky boy who met so many good people. Maybe there are many difficulties in our future life, my attitude will always be positive. I believe we won't always meet bad people and will finally find a person who is worth being dedicated to. Let's give our best wishes to David Copperfield.

 

David Copperfield

田勇

When I first saw the title of the book. I thought David was a hero or a man who was well-known. But I was wrong. He was only a little boy.

His life was full of ups and downs. David’s father had died six months before he was born. So he lived with his mother and their housekeeper Peggotty. But when David’s mother met Mr Murdstone who had black hair and a hard, cold, handsome face but didn’t like him at all, he started the life with fearness .

While David had been away from the house of Dan Peggotty who was Peggotty’s brother, his mother had married Mr.Murdstone. Mr.Murdstone sent David away to boarding school.

Unluckily, David’s mother died and he was forced to work at a warehouse. But David succeeded in finding his great-aunt, Miss Betsey Trotwood with his struggle and lived a happier life with her.

David was sent to a new school and lived with Mr.Wickfield. There David met Uriap Heep, who caused many problems and Agnes, who became a good fried. David resolved the problems caused by Heep and married a beautiful young woman called Dora.Sadly Dora died early and left David alone.

Some time later, David’s friends Ham and Steerforth died and he went travelling abroad as he had planned. Finally, David was encouraged by Agnes and married Agnes. He lived a happy life later .

David was only a common boy, he was poor and unlucky. But he never gave up. He was better than a hero.We should learn from him. We shouldn’t give up easily and be beaten by difficulties. We must try our best to do something we want. And we shouldn’t be like Mr.Murdstone. We should be friendly to others and help others when they meet problems. If we do this, others will be friendly to us and help us too.

Besides, from the story of David, I know that we should make friends with the one who is kind and helpful, not the one who is rude. It is important for us to make good friends.
