Essay on My Favourite Author


There are so many writers. Every one has his peculiar style of writing. Some specialize in a particular branch of literature like dramas or novels or short stories or essays. Some write in a humorous vein, others are serious in their approach. They appeal to different varieties of readers according to their tastes. My favourite author is Charles Dickens Charles Dickens is an English writer. He lived in England in Victorian age. He is a famous novelist of English language. Charles Dickens has an impressive list of novels to his credit. These novels are ‘Pickwick Papers’, ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, ‘David Copperfield’, ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘Great Expectations’ and many others. Several of these stories have been adopted for the cinema and have been made into successful films. When Dickens wrote these stories he could not have dreamt that his stories would be filmed and shown to thousand of people in different countries of the world.

The reason of my liking Dickens is that I like him for the engrossing stories of these novels for the streak of humour running through his writings and for the sympathy he shows towards suffering of the poor and alone of all for his delicate understanding of children. Dickens has portrayed the character of small children with such sensitive and delicate understanding that the writings immediately appeal to the reader. He has an art of describing a character in such a way that the character seem to come to life and walk out of the pages of the book to stand before our eye. His characters are unforgettable once you read about them you would feel that you have struck friendship with them. 

Who can forget the character of Mr. Pickwick after making his “Oliver Twist” the picture of the old cunning Jew will be firmly impressed upon your mind as that of Shylock the Jew from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Read his Tale of the Two Cities and you will not be able to forget the character of Sydney Carton who has a rough down exterior but a gently heart and who lays down his life for a noble cause.

This is so far as the characters in the novel of Dickens go, but his stories are equally impressive. Beside entertaining us they also present before us a lively picture of the social education conditions of the time Pick wick papers gives us a picture of the Victorian England and Tale of the Two Cities gives us a sight of the 

French Revolution.
All these and many more are the quantities that make Dickens only favourite author.

Choosing a profession is not an easy thing. So many kinds of attractive professions present themselves before us, but it is very important to remember that we can be a success only in that profession in which we are interested.

Teachers and professors play an important role in the life of a nation. Because they train the growing generation, who will be the future citizens of the country.

Essay on Teaching as the Noble Profession

There are many professions which man has adopted according to his knowledge and ability. A person can adopt any profession or business. It depends upon his aptitudes and mental capability. All profession are equally important for the human development. But the teaching is the profession which has lead people on the high way of progress and prosperity. No development had been possible if there had been no teacher. All the sciences all the arts and crafts and all the civilizations and cultures are due to the teaching. In fact teaching is the noble profession let me call the teaching as prophetic profession, because invariably all prophets are teachers. They taught and preached the message of God.  The importance and nobility of this profession is evident from a tradition of Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) in which he says “I have been sent to you as a teacher” in an other Hadith Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) says “He who is neither teacher nor student is not a Muslim” these

Nothing is Impossible in the World (Essay)

When we takes up many things in hand and fail in the most of them we bewail our lot and try to console by saying that we were fated to achieve this and fail in that. But fate is a figment of man’s imagination, it is refuge only for those who are cowardly and lack in determination. Because nothing is impossible in the world. Man is architect of his own fate. He can make himself if he has the will. He can also mar himself if he wavers and submits to opposing forces. A man of determination never fails. His unshaken determination coupled with this unflinching endeavour carries him to the goal and makes him thoroughly successful man. But a man who trembles of every step and has no confidence in himself, can never reach the goal and dies an inglorious death. Robert Bruce could never have regained his mother land from clutches of the enemy if he submitted to the so called fate and gave up the attempts. If Mahmood Ghaznavi has lost the hope, he could not have conquered the Somnath temple
