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
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.
