Lol! She really had to stick this one out. She developed her own thesis from scratch, although the topic question was mine. There were twenty something drafts to this paper.

Daddy is a tough task-master.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Through his novels, Dickens’ subjective perception of the Industrial Revolution created a culture of hostility against industrial development and a habit of depending upon government to solve the problems by restricting business. That cultural bias has the capability to harm the poor and middle class workers whom Dickens was trying to help.

What a mature and polished piece, Nattie.

Your description of Dicken's humiliation and pain as a child, the attention to detail of the unsafe working conditions is balanced by the final paragraph - your own wise "voice." It shows an understanding and compassion grounded in reality far beyond the scope of many "adults."

Your friends, the ones who seem lucky because they get away with anything at home are wishing their own dads cared enough to help them be their best. (^:

She'll do you proud, dad. The Chronicles of Narnia, now Dickens....tough and good. Have you considered tutoring other fathers....or daughters, sons? (^:
