How did Charles Dickens help children?

Answer 1

Firstly, because in Dickens day orphans were far more common than they are now.

Infant Mortality Rate was high, and many women died in childbirth. This meant that many of Dickens's readers could sympathise with Dickens' orphans, and understand and empathise with them. For instance, in Great Expectations, Pip, the main character is an orphan. Dickens originally released this novel in chapters, and the fact that the boy had no parents would have hooked the morbid Victorians.

Also, Dickens loved to address political and social issues in his work. Talking about the conditions of the orphans and poor, like in Oliver Twist, was Dickens 'subtle' way of drawing people's attention to the appalling conditions. He talked about these things in the hope that someone would pick up on the allusions and do something.

And of course, in the case of people like Little Nell (The Old Curiosity Shop) it just makes the story that much more heart warming.

Charles Dickens was taken out of school to work in a factory when young. Many of the children with whom he worked were probably orphans and he had a loving mother and a father (who ended up in debtors' prison) and a great sensitivity to the plight of the others he may have known.

Answer 2

Social Catalyst: Charles Dickens became a strong and sympathetic voice for the poor and disenfranchised among London's lower classes. His humorous satire actually impelled the government to make changes in the Poor Laws, as well as other smaller acts. Individuals in the private sector were also motivated by his writings and joined Dickens in working to solve the problems he described. Humor: Many of Dickens' shorter works (essays and short stories) contain less social invective and more simple and touching humor. They are often difficult to find, but they are true gems and worth the search.

Answer 3

he wrote his books as he thought that he could inform and inspire people with what he wrote about and to show them that if you have a dream no matter how far behind everyone else you are you can achieve it!!!!

Answer 4

Charles Dickens, through his talents as a writer, sought to improve the lot of poor Victorian children. Based on his father's inability to stay out of debt, Dickens' childhood and education were aborted. While his family lived in Debtors Prison, he was forced to fend for himself via a number of apprenticeships and jobs. During this time, he developed a deep compassion for the plight of children forced into labor. Books like "Oliver Twist" focused on this problem and he used his novella, "A Christmas Carol", and the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, to persuade the wealthy to help those in need.

Charles Dickens helped children by advocating for social reform and improved working conditions for them.
