Hello everyone,
For my third piece of coursework for my English GCSE I am studying A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. We haven't really initiated the study yet (unless watching one of the many film adaptations counts). Naturally, the in-school study will be painfully basic and so I was wondering if anyone would like to fill me in on any of the follwing:
>Literary techniques in the Novella
-lists
-puns
-similes/metaphors/personification etc.
>Social Commentry
>Narrative
>Characters
I would also like to cross reference styles of writing from his other works too. Unfortunately I willnot have enough time to read his whole body of work before the essay deadline. So please, fill me in on anything general about Charles Dickens.
I would appreciate your help alot, Thankyou.
N.B. I have not been handed an essay question as of yet but I don't think it's of any importance here. Although I would like to congratulate my English teachers for their... efficiency... pfft
