Question

Book name: A christmas Carol
Question: What happened during Dickens' childhood that made him interested in the plight or suffering of the poor in London?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Though born into the middle class, when Dickens was 12, his father, who always spent more than he earned, was sent to debtors’ prison. With this event, the family plunged into the lower classes. Dickens mother and younger siblings lived with him in his prison cell and Dickens was put to work in a factory and lived on his own. He said of himself during this time that “but for the mercy of God” he might have become one of the street children.

While working at the factory, he got to know the other workers and quickly realized that they were kind and good-hearted and not the debased, diseased people he had been taught they were. He vowed to do whatever he could to help better their lives
