447 words short essay on the Author I Like Most. I have studied books of different writers. They have their individual style. Some write in simple language but their approach is critical. Many writers use ornamental language to present simple things. Many writers use fugitive language to create an impression on the readers. Some make frequent use of examples from day-to-day life to convey the message behind their writings.
I am very impressed with the writings of Charles Dickens. He was a great Victorian novelist and a contemporary of Charles Lamb. Many of his works have been adapted to movies. His masterpiece A Tale of Two Cities has made a deep impression on my mind. I have read it several times. This book of Dickens has been made into a movie. In course of time, my interest in Dickens only deepened. I also enjoyed his other major works like Pickwick Papers and David Copperfield.
Dickens was a writer of masses. He wrote for the common man. In his writings he expressed the problems of the common people, particularly the middle class. He presented a real picture of London. His imagination gave a romantic glow to his pictures of London. The most striking features of Dickens’ writings which appeal to me most are his realistic picture of society and the zeal for life. His sharp observation and genial sympathy for the victims add freshness and vigour to his books.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
The humor of Dickens is very captivating. He possesses a loving, sensitive and indulgent heart. Various aspects of life and its ups and downs are the most fascinating for him. He would watch, poke fun at, but would remain detached from it. He enjoys the odd, and adverse scenes of life. His works are replete with eccentric, queer personages, who enjoy and entertain the readers. Besides pleasures, his works are instructional also.
Through his writings he exposes the prevalent evils of society and have some morals. Unsatisfactory education, ill-treatment with children, system of public execution, severity of law and many other evils of Victorian society find space in his writings and they are held up to ridicule. It is widely admitted that his writings created awareness in contemporary society.
However, his writings are often criticized for lacking proper structure and plot. In fact, his stories are rambling narrations, full of colour and sharpness. For he wants to present life in its fullness. They are full of digression. Sometimes the stories appear loose, and scattered, but, Dickens is successful in putting the message across the readers. His style is simple and narrative very catchy. It holds on the interests of the readers from the beginning to the end. His characterization is subtle and penetrating, but it possesses variety and vitality.
