This is an interesting video to show when teaching about English culture, the vocabulary is quite challenging for English learners, so I had to write a transcript when I showed it. If anyone else would like the transcript, here it is. :) Charles John Huffam Dickens was born on the 7th February 1812 to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Charles was the second child of eight siblings in all, six of whom survived to adulthood. John, a naval clerk always spent beyond his means. One day he pointed out a house to Charles, remarking that he could live in such a house if he worked hard. The family moved to London in 1822. At 12, as the family finances worsened, Charles had to start work in a blacking factory, labelling bottles for eleven hours a day. John Dickens was eventually sent to a debtor’s prison, Charles visited him there every Sunday. His youth left him with an ambitious drive, in 1827 he began work as a solicitor’s clerk. From the surroundings of his unremarkable office, he began to collect names and characteristics of the people he saw. Charles began a journalistic career in 1831. Writing became his passion, working for the paper by day and on his own work by night. He was beginning to taste success. His first piece of fiction was published in 1835. That same year Charles met Catherine Hogarth, they fell in love and were married. The next few years of fervent activity resulted in much writing and many children. As his writing became more popular and his fame more wide-spread, rumours began to abound of his drunkenness and admission to an asylum. Stories were easy to concoct about the writer who kept a pet raven and whose writing dealt in the extremes of the sentimental and the grotesque. In 1842, Charles and Catherine set sail for America. On landing in Boston they were mobbed by crowds. Dickens interests lay in visiting the unusual, which inspired his writing. He took his whole family on his next big trip, to Italy in the summer of 1844. Upon his return Dickens began to look for new diversions. He helped to start and edit a radical newspaper, founded a refuge for homeless women and performed his works at public readings. Aged 44 Charles bought Gad’s Hill, the house his father had pointed out to him all those years before. It symbolised a pinnacle of achievement. Whilst Dickens was organising a theatrical project, ‘Frozen Deep’, he met and was spellbound by a young actress, Ellen Ternan. There is much speculation about this relationship that caused the end of his marriage to Catherine. One fateful night in 1865, whilst Charles and Ellen were returning from Paris, their train crashed outside Staplehurst. Dickens administered brandy and water to the injured and dying, only at the last minute did he remember to retrieve the final part of ‘Our Mutual Friend’ from the wrecked carriage. The incident left Charles very shaken, for a while he maintained his busy itinerary, then his health began to fail. At home on Wednesday 9th June 1870, at the age of 58, Charles suffered a stroke and died. He’s buried in Westminster Abbey.
Jackie Hopkins oh my goodness! How can I thank you enough!!! I am going to teach something about Charles dickens tomorrow. Your transcript is more than enough to help! Thank you for your consideration!!!
For all those people who want the notes: His full name is Charles John Huffam Dickens. His parents were John and Elizabeth. His family had 8 children and only 6 survived to become an adult. His family moved to London in 1822. He had to work at a Blacking factory at 12 years old because his family was becoming short of money. His father got sent to prison and Dickens saw him every Sunday. In 1831 he started off a journalistic career. It became his passion. His first piece of fiction was published in 1835. He also married Catherine Hogarth in 1835. He had a lot of children and a lot of new books. People made up rumours about him. In 1842 the couple set off to America He lay interests in visiting the unusual which inspired his writing. He took his whole family on his next big trip to Italy In 1844. When he came back he was looking for more new diversions. He helped to start and edit a radical newspaper, founded a refuge for homeless women and performed his works at public readings. At age 44 he bought the house his dad told him about when he was younger. It symbolised a pinnacle of achievement Whilst Dickens was organising a theatrical project (The frozen deep), he met and was spellbound by young actress, Ellen Turner. This ended his marriage to Catherine In 1865, whilst Charles and Ellen were returning from Paris, their train crashed. He administered brandy and water to those who were injured and dying.

He is buried in Westminster Abbey Your Welcome
@@weezingargonian6523 oh I know! Hehe, this was two years ago but I made a mistake. Which is weird since the video clearly states raven. Let me edit that for you ;).
Thank you for posting this! I homeschool a first grader and we are beginning the Great Illustrated version of Great Expectations this week. This was a wonderful intro to Dickens for a 7 year old!
@MargeSimpson20 Good question. The answer is Debtors prison in the 19th century really wasn't "prison" ...it was more like a low-income apartment complex - which you couldn't escape from.
"...I came in and sat down, partly to collect my thoughts, partly because it had turned me faint. When I went to the door again, daylight was above me, and the ghost was gone...He touched me on the arm with his forefinger twice or thrice, giving a ghastly nod each time..." THE SIGNAL-MAN

Why not just draw the noses in the middle of the face
Apparently the animators think Dickens was a creation of Picasso. 🤣🤣🤣
There is no reason for this
You can ask the person who wrote this.
