How are the young David and Cassie presented as victims in the novels E
How are the young David and flamboyant presented as dupes in the novelsDavid Copperfield and Roll of Thunder Hear My CryRoll of Thunder Hear My Cry is a flooring well-nigh an African Americangirl growing up in a racist community in Mississippi during the1930s. It shows her family as they struggle to stand firm in the racistcommunity, try to keep their land and survive on the little money theyget because of the fall in cotton prices receivable to the economicdepression. David Copperfield on the other hand is about a boy growingup in a mid-Victorian world. With his family dieing around him,nowhere to full of life and people constantly taking advantage of him, Davidalso has a solid time growing up. In Roll of thunder we see the exclusivelystory through the eyes of Cassie and how life is for her. Whilst inDavid Copperfield the story is told by David so we only see how hethought it happened. In this essay I am going to compare the way inwhich these two young people are treated as dupes and whether theircharacters becharm people to treat them inadequately.At home David has memories of a happy childhood, until his arriveClara remarries to a man called Mr Murdstone who victimised him. Inthe early days of Davids reality he describes his life as beingpicture perfect. my mother and I and Peggoty-for Peggoty is quite ourcompanion my mother reads to Peggoty and me there is nothing half asgreen as that grass David loved his childhood he rememberseverything to be grand which reminds us that the story is fromDavids point of public opinion and may not be exactly how it was really. We cantell that he cherishes the time when it was only he Clara and Peggotybecause of the emotive language used by the author. When Mr Mu... ...d into her,tackling her with such force that we both fell over and sheapologised for herself and her father Cassie devised a foul proofplan to stitch Lillian dungaree up. She then bribed her into not tellinganyone. Although her family are consta ntly victimised she knows thatthey shouldnt be treated in that way and so wont put up with it.David and Cassie are both treated as victims throughout theirchildhoods. I opine on one hand David is treated like a victim becausehe doesnt know how he should be treated and doesnt stick up forhimself and on the other Cassie is treated like a victim because sheknows how she should be treated and speaks out about it. While Davidapologises for what he has through with(p) -usually nothing- Cassie plots herrevenge. I think both stories show realistic points of view of twopeople struggling to survive their childhoods.
