Answer:

<u>Surmounted </u>means "placed on top of"

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the narrator describes the other character, Fortunato. This man was wearing "motley" (a piece of clothing made up of different colors) and a conical cap and bell "surmounting" his head. In this case, the verb surmount means to be on top of something tall or just on top of something.

Sometimes surmount can mean to overcome a difficulty, to deal successfully with an obstacle.

Answer:

Essay on a story called "David Copperfield"

The full title of “David Copperfield” is “The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the younger of Blunderstone Rookery” but it was never published under this name. “David Copperfield” is the story of a child carrying the same name and his journey from childhood till he grows old.

A sad childhood is portrayed in the story where the child loses his father at a young age. As a result, his mother marries again and his step father gives the little child a very hard time. His step father believes that being weak in studies, David needs full attention. After being frustrated by his father, little David one day bites him. The result is that soon he lands into a hostel where he also faces a hard time but makes two friends- James Steerforth and Tommy Traddles. When he returns home during vacations he comes to know that his mother has given birth to a baby boy. Soon both his mother and the baby boy dies and David is left alone to face the torture of his father. His father now sends David to a factory to work.

David runs away from London to Dover and now meets his relative, Aunt Betsey Trotwood. He is now renamed as Trotwood Copperfield and is addressed by the new nickname Trot everywhere. As he grows up many of his loved ones also leave him alone by kissing death including his Aunt Betsey. At a very young age David faces the pain that people do not face in their lifetimes. This makes him a mature and well to do individual. But life takes a much harder lesson after he gets married to Dora Spenlow because she dies facing the pain of her miscarriage early in their marriage. Later David marries the beautiful and sensible Agnes and lives a beautiful life with her and their three children. He also names his daughter after his late aunt Betsey to show how much he loved her and how much he still misses her.

Thank you
