Unusual Brit Sem Paper

Create a bogus citizen of Victorian England and through the story of thier fictitous life discuss the social/historical context of class readings (oh and maybe the readings themselves too). While interesting, I can't help but to feel that this is a little more touchy feely cute than I can handle and take seriously at the same time. Oh well, its kinda growing on me anyway. So on to my fictitous stooge:

Name: Alfred Sparks
Occupation: Clerk of some kind? (see local industry/ Grain merchant perhaps?)
Birthplace and Childhood Home: Small village outside of Dorchester about 15-20 miles.
Home: City of Dorchester in the county of Dorset
Significance of Place: Home of Thomas Hardy
Born: 10 years after Hardy (hmm...need to look that up again)
Died: don't care I think I'll leave the goober living
Personality: Retiring bookish sort, devoted to friends and family, aspires to great learning, too poor to reach it
Major Life Events: Oldest of three Children Alfred is 8-10 when his mother dies in childbirth with his baby sister (younger sister, Molly, is 4-6)
Next major event is the end of his schooling and begining of apprenticship/clerkship with merchant (grain) in Dorchester.
In Dorchester begins to read more. Falls in love with books (he has previously borrowed a few from his schoolmaster see Dickens)
