- 201: Great Expectations vs. Oliver Twist
- Great Expectations vs. Oliver Twist During his lifetime, Charles Dickens is known to have written several books. Although each book is different, they also share many similarities. Two of his books, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, are representatives of the many kinds of differences and similarities found within his work.

During his childhood, Charles Dickens suffered much abuse from his parents.1 This abuse is often expressed in his novels.

- 202: Depression

Everything else that triggered the minds of these revolutionaries was the effect caused by Britain’s ... glory, and God. Georgia was colonized as a buffer zone for the highly cherished Carolinas. For whatever the reasons, each colony flourished and, eventually, the population of all the thirteen increased as the exodus from Great Britain increased, other foreigners seeking freedom of religion or wanting new lives began to come, slave trade became popular, and indentured servants sold their lives to come to the new world. Though the New ...
