Itis an outgrowth of the concentrated efforts of the staff of the Division ofAdult Education, with the helpful cooperationand constructive suggestions of asubstantial percentage of representativeSouth Caro- lina public school personnel, withoutwhose thoughtful assistance this publication would not have been possible. In N..vember, 1965, the StateDepartment of Education began an exhaus- tive study of available adult basiceducation resource materials thatwould reflect the emerging trends as well as theadvances that had been made in thedevelop- ment and adaptationof adult oriented basic educationmaterials.Time and space will not permit a complete list ofmaterials reviewed or of those which areavail- able; therefore, the materials listedherein are film and study materialsthat have been used successfully in one or more programsin the state. The St( Department of Education suggests thatthese materials will pro- vide a basis for sound, practical,and effective programs of instructioninadult basic education. Jesse T.

  • Dickens - David Copperfield
    Dickens - David Copperfield The Author Charles Dickens was born at Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, the second of eight children. Dickens’ childhood experiences were similar to those depicted in David Copperfield. His father, who was a government clerk, was imprisoned for dept and Dickens was briefly sent to work in a blacking warehouse at the age of twelve. He received little formal education, but taught himself shorthand and became a reporter of parliamentary debates for the Morning Chronicle. He began to publish sketches in various periodicals, which were subsequently republished as Sketches by Boz, The Pickwick Papers were published in 1836-37 and after a slow start became a publishing phenomenon and Dickens’ characters the centre of popular cult. Part of the secret of his success was the method of cheap serial publication which Dickens used for all his novels. He began Oliver Twist in 1837, followed by Nicholas Nickleby (1838) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41). After finishing Barnaby Rudge (1841) Dickens set off for America; he went full of enthusiasm for the young republic but, in spite of a triumphant reception, he returned disillusioned. His experiences are recorded in American Notes (1842). Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44) did not repeat its predecessors’ success but this was quickly redressed by the huge popularity of the Christmas Books, of which the first A Christmas Carol, appeared in 1843, During 1844-46 Dickens travelled abroad and he began Dombey an Son while in Switzerland. This and David Copperfield (1849-50) were more serious in theme and more carefully planned than his early novels.

  • David Copperfield As an Autobiographical Novel Ans:- It Is Proverbially Said--"It's in Vain
    David Copperfield as an autobiographical novel Ans:- It is proverbially said--"It's in vain... to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present." Norrie Epstein, in The Friendly Dickens, notes that by writing about his parents and reliving his childhood, Dickens triumphed over his past and would never again need to make a neglected child the central focus of a novel. David Copperfield's life was a veiled image of the author's life, though the novel still maintains the potent themes that made Dickens legendary. Dickens portrayed his parents and his attitude towards them in many of the characters in David Copperfield. Dickens's parents were high-spirited, airy people who were not, in Dickens's eyes, good parents. In David Copperfield, Dickens's mother, Elizabeth Dickens, was portrayed as the lovely widow, Clara Copperfield. Clara was the naive and girlish mother of David. Behind David's back, she married Edward Murdstone, a cruel, heartless man. David felt betrayed by his mother, just as Dickens felt betrayed by his own mother. After Dickens's father was arrested because of his debts, his mother sent Charles to work at the terrible Warren's Blacking Factory, a shoe-making factory. This experience scarred and alienated Dickens for life and was a theme in many of his books. Dora Spenlow, David's first wife, was also another image of Elizabeth Dickens, Charles' mother. Like Mrs. Copperfield, Dora had a blithe personality and was beautiful, angelic but naive. She enchanted David and he instantaneously loved her. "I was a captive and a slave.

  • Sexuality in David Copperfield
    Sexuality in David Coppetfield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English in the University of Canterbury by Victoria Earl University of Canterbury 1991 For my father. Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Gareth Cordery in the supervision of this thesis. Grateful thanks to family and friends, especially Jim and Hemy, for providing me with much needed love and support and for tolerating my longterm anti-social behaviom. Also, a special thank-you to David. Abbreviations DP Foucault, Michel. Discipline and Punish. Trans. Alan Sheridan. New York: Random House, 1979. HS Foucault, Michel. The History of Sexuality (Vo1.1). Trans. Robert Hurley. New York: Random House, 1980. Abstract This thesis examines the sexual issues and visions of sexual experience that arise in Dickens' David Copperlield. The theoretical basis for this examination is Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality (Vol.l) In this work Foucault argues that duting the nineteenth century sexuality was discussed and analysed as much, if not more than, it has been in our own century; that through vmious discourses a nmm of sexuality was established, a norm against which all forms of sexual behaviour were defined and categotised. This transfmmation of sex into discourse resulted in the initiation of sexual heterogeneities. The process that Foucault outlines suggests film links with the creation of class hegemony. In the nineteenth century the emerging middle classes lacked a coherent class identity and it was this that they sought through the fmmation of new codes relating to sexual and moral issues.

  • WRITING CENTER REFERENCE Sheet
    Writing Center Reference Sheet: A Basic Guide to Quotations (handout created by Caitlin Springs) Short Quotations: A short quotation is no longer than 4 lines in length. The author’s last name should be included either in the introduction to the quotation or in the parenthetical citation. The page number should be in the parentheses following the quotation. When the author’s last name is NOT included before the quotation, place it in the parentheses following the quotation. NO: “Two program models are available to guide elementary students toward proficiency in a language other than English: the Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) model or the immersion model.” ( p. 29) * This is incorrect. First, there is no mention of the author. Second, the quotation is not introduced. Third, the period comes before the ending quotation mark rather than after the parentheses. Finally, do not use p., page, #, etc. before the page number. YES: EXAMPLE 1: According to Audrey L. Heining-Boynton, the President-Elect of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, “Two program models are available to guide elementary students toward proficiency in a language other than English: the Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) model or the immersion model” (29). EXAMPLE 2: According to an article on fatherhood, “Many men feel they don’t have what it takes to develop a relationship with their children” (McLean 40). * Notice that there is no comma between the last name and the page number and that the period follows the parentheses. EXAMPLE 3: Mr. Micawber describes his early attraction to his wife and her songs to his companions, sharing that “when he heard her sing the first one, on the first occasion of his seeing her beneath the parental roof, she had attracted his attention in an extraordinary degree, but that when it came to ‘Little Taffin,’ he had resolved to win that woman or perish in the attempt” (Dickens 426).

  • Copperfield and Co
    COPPERFIELD AND CO. Music, Lyrics and Book by Frank Kirwan THE STORY Copperfield and Co. is a quick paced, full length musical based on Dickens' "David Copperfield" following the path of David from his early, troubled childhood through to the tribulations of early adulthood, alongside the villainous path of Uriah Heap. In the course of this journey through life, we encounter many classic Dickens characters. The bullying, overbearing Murdstones haunt David's early life, in melodramatic fashion, sending him ultimately to their bottle factory. Here, he meets the inimitable Micawber family. He then passes into the care of the equally eccentric Aunt Betsy and Mr Dick, who dispose of the Murdstones, to everyone's delight. Via Aunt Betsy, he meets his tutor, Mr Wickfield, in whose employ is that infamous, greasy, oily rogue, Uriah. As David moves into adulthood, we see Heap wielding more and more power, before his ultimate demise, and the Micawbers become increasingly involved in the drama. David, meanwhile, suffers the loss of his wife Dora, through illness, but gains the love of Agnes, Mr Wickfield's daughter. PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS • David Copperfield (Narrator/Adult) • David Copperfield (The Boy) • Mr Murdstone • Mr Micawber • Aunt Betsy • Dora Spenlow • Uriah Heap (Narrator/Adult) • Uriah Heap (The Boy) • Mrs Heap • Mrs Micawber • Mr Dick PRINCIPAL MUSICAL NUMBERS 1.

    RECONSTRUCTING FRAGMENTS OF CHARLES DICKENS’ (AUTO)BIOGRAPHY THROUGH “DAVID COPPERFIELD” Ioana BOGHIAN, Ph.D. Student, University of Bacău, Romania Abstract It is said that Charles Dickens managed to reveal through his literary work more than any historian could have ever revealed through historical documents: the Victorian society with its values and needs. But the writer, too, was part of this society that he described. The paper is an attempt at identifying (auto)biographical data in Dickens’novel “David Copperfield”, with a view to shaping the man behind the novel, the writer who corresponded with his readers, but also the child who visited his father in the debtors’ prison, briefly, the man in relation to the age he lived in. The first part of the paper will focus on introducing the key concepts, the second part will deal with (auto)biographical data in “David Copperfield”, and the last part will contain the conclusions. Rezumat Se spune că Charles Dickens a reuşit să dezvăluie prin opera sa literară mai mult decât orice alt istoric ar fi putut vreodată dezvălui prin documente istorice: societatea victoriană cu valorile şi nevoile sale. Dar şi scriitorul făcea parte din această societate pe care a descris-o. Lucrarea reprezintă o încercare de a identifica date (auto)biografice în romanul „David Copperfield” de Charles Dickens, în vederea conturării omului din spatele textului, scriitorul care coresponda cu cititorii săi, dar şi copilul ce şi-a vizitat tatăl în închisoarea datornicilor, pe scurt, omul în relaţie cu epoca în care a trăit. Prima parte a lucrării se va concentra pe concepte-cheie, a doua va fi dedicată datelor (auto)biografice din romanul „David Copperfield”, iar ultima secţiune va conţine concluziile.

LONDON THEATRE - EARLY EVENING 1 A buzzing, busy theatre. So busy that some PEOPLE stand in the aisles. DAVID, dressed smartly, walks onto a stage to applause. He goes to a reading desk, carrying a book. On the spine is: “The Personal History of David Copperfield”, obscured by DAVID’s hands. He’s nervous, never done this before. Takes a quick, deep breath, for confidence. Puts the book on the desk. Opens it. The words on the page look fuzzy. DAVID Whether I turn out to be the hero of my own story... The words on the page look clearer now. DAVID (CONT'D) (more confident) ...or whether that station will be held by anybody else...
