David was born on Friday night at twelve o’clock. Some old ladies said that he would be unlucky because of the day and hour of his birth. His father died six months before his birth. David had his great auunt who was the most commanding person in his family. Her name was Miss Trotwood. She lived in a small house by the sea with one servant named Miss Betsey. David’s family had a servant named Peggotty who always help David and his mother to do housekeeping.
David was a fatherless child. When he was six years old, his mother started to find another man to be David’s stepfather. His named was Mr. Murdstone. David didn’t like this man because he had a bad temper and always looked at David with his hard black eyes. One day, Peggotty invited to join her to Yarmouth and stay with her brothe for two weeks. It was excited David but he was afraid whether his mom would agree or not. David didn’t want to leave his mother alone but Peggotty made sure him that she is going to stay with a friend and let him go with her. And that happened next is she agreed gladly.
They travelled to Yarmouth in a cart. The journey was long and they stopped at many places. As they entered the town, they were welcomed by Ham, Peggotty’s brother. His house was a boat. The rooms were clean and had a roof with little windows. There was a girl came to David. Her name was Emily. They had a dinner – a tasty meal of fish and potatoes, cooked in butter. After had a dinner, they all sat by the fire and talked about everything. David had a lot of activities in his holiday. In the morning, he went down to the sea with little Emily and watched the boats. Sometimes they went to the sea by boat with Ham. Two weeks quckly passed and the day to go home is came.
As they drove home, David was in a hurry to see his mother. When he opened the door, his mom was not there. Peggotty forgot to tell that his mother has married again, with that strange gentleman. David was surprised and ran away to his room. When they had a dinner, Mr. Murdstone’s sister arrived. She was as unfriendly as her brother. Then, she claimed that she would manage this house. David felt strange in his own house but he cannot argue. Mr. Murdstone and his sister planned to sent David to a school. In the next morning, a cart arrived to bring David to London. David looked for Peggotty, but she did not appear. They went about a kilometre when the carrier stopped and Peggotty ran out from trees and jumped into the cart. She gave David some bags of little cakes and some money. Them, she got out and ran away. Mr. Barkis (the carrier) asked who made the cakes and David said “Pegotty” proudly. Mr. Barkis said that if Pegotty wants a husband, then he will marry her.
When he arrived in London, nobody met him until a tall young man came to him and told that he was one of the teacher in the school David would enter. Then he took David to the school, Salem House, with a ruthless headmaster, Mr. Creakle. Unfortunately, it looked like a prison. He should stay alone in the room and had a supper together. There, he met Tommy Traddles and J. Steerforth, who next be his friend.
