Dickens Childhood

In Charles Dickens biography I think a part of his life that appeared the first chapter of the novel ” Great Expectations” was the fact he was in a place that he did not want to be without his parents. Even though in the story the parents was dead but in real life they went to prison for debt. Also the fact that his father was determined not to have him working in the laboring houses and to be better than he was. So I took that in the novel was when the prisoner met Pip and by his loyalty made him want better and to get Pip to have a much better life than he had. Yes I do think that Charles Dickens did witness some cruel things that inspired the characters pip and prisoner because he witness his family be separated due to money problems and going to prison as well as him going off to a laboring factory which was pretty much a prison and he was only a boy.
