<span>There is some parallel between Sissy’s story and Dickens’ own. When he was 12 years old, Dickens was sent to work at Warren’s Blacking Factory (Coketown, come on) after his father was imprisoned for debt. Claire Tomalin asserts in her superb recent biography about Dickens that, when he was rescued by his parents neither he nor they uttered a single word about it to one another. So I suspect that Dickens was strongly attached to Sissy in a very personal way. And for me, a world without Sissy Jupe would be a world without Dickens.</span>
What is your personal mission statement? What do you want to see yourself doing in your life? What do you stand for?
You want to begin writing a speech by getting the audiences attention. Say something that shocks, pleases, makes them laugh...do something funny...
For example, come in with a clown wig and nose. Blow your nose thoroughly before starting and wait for the laughter....

It is because there is little work, and they need something to keep them occupied
