Please answer these comprehension and interpretation questions on the novel up to and through Chapter Ten. Use examples and quotations from the novel to support your answers whenever possible, and in some cases it is required. Do these responses on paper. Complete these by Thursday, December 2.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday please post on the Blog what chapter you have completed. This will help the other readers to keep up and to correspond with each other on what they know about the story so far.
You need to read at least one chapter per night to stay on track.
1) Relate two examples of figurative language in the book between Chapters One and Ten.
2) How does David know he is not liked by Miss Murdstone? Find at least two examples from the book that relate how we, and David, know this. Cite the chapter in which you found the passage.
3) Find two passages that are excellent examples of characterization of any characters other than David.
4) What nugget of wisdom does the tailor, Mr. Omer, give David as he fits him for clothes for the funeral?
5) Explain why you believe that Mrs. Copperfield died. Cite a quotation from the novel that supports your inference.
6) Describe how Peggoty and her family give David a sense of happiness.
7) What do you think Dickens is saying about the social class system of the time when you compare the motivations and actions of Peggoty and the Murdstones?
8) Give two examples of Davy’s characterization in his actions and/or speech. Interpret how you feel Dickens intended to show David’s characterization in the passages you choose.
