Walter Scott tells us, in his fragment of autobiography. Speaking of the strange remedies applied to his lameness, that he remembered lying in
the parlor of his grandfather's farmhouse on the floor, swathed up in a sheepskin warm from the body of the sheep, being then not three years old.
David Copperfield's memory goes beyond this. He represents himself seeing so far back into the blank of his infancy, as to discern therein his
mother and her servant, dwarfed to his sight by stooping down or kneeling on the floor, and himself going unsteadily from the one to the other. He
admits this may be fancy, though he believes the power of observation in numbers of very young children to be quite wonderful for its closeness and
accuracy, and thinks that the recollection of most of us can go farther back into such times than many of us suppose. But what he adds is certainly
not fancy. "If it should appear from anything I may set down in this narrative that I was a child of close observation, or that as a man I have a strong
memory of my childhood, I undoubtedly lay claim to both of these characteristics. 10Applicable as it might be to David Copperfield this was
unaffectedly true of Charles Dickens.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances.there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.
