A Very Sad Story

Ann is a student in the Department of English Literature. She had to choose a topic for her seminar paper and decided to focus on books by Charles Dickens. She had not studied any courses on Dickens and was familiar with only a few of his novels. She went to the library to read some articles on Dickens but she couldn’t decide which articles were important to read.
