Charlie Chaplin Para. 1 He was born in a
poor area of south London. He wore his mothers
old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His
mother was temporarily declared mad.  Dickens
might have created Charlie Chaplins childhood.
But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the
great comic character of the Tramp, the little
man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame.
???
8
Para. 2 Other countriesFrance, Italy, Spain,
even Japan and Koreahave provided more applause
(and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the
land of his birth. Chaplin quit Britain for good
in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group
of performers to do his comedy act on the stage
where talent scouts recruited him to work for
Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films.
???
???
9
Para. 3a Sad to say, many English people in
the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplins Tramp a
bit, well, crude. Certainly middle-class
audiences did the working-class audiences were
more likely to clap for a character who revolted
against authority, using his wicked little cane
to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for
a well-placed kick at its broad rear. All the
same, Chaplins comic beggar didnt seem all that
English or even working class.
???
???
10
Para. 3b English tramps didnt sport tiny
moustaches, huge pants or tail coats European
leaders and Italian waiters wore things like
that. Then again, the Tramps quick eye for a
pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was
considered, well, not quite nice by English
audiencesthats how foreigners behaved, wasnt
it? But for over half of his screen career,
Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his
British nationality.
???
???
11
Back
Para. 4 Indeed, it was a headache for
Chaplin when he could no longer resist the
talking movies and had to find the right voice
for his Tramp. He postponed that day as long as
possible in Modern Times in 1936, the first film
in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he
made up a nonsense language which sounded like no
known nationality. He later said he imagined the
Tramp to be a college-educated gentleman whod
come down in the world. But if hed been able to
speak with an educated accent in those early
short comedy movies, its doubtful if he would
have achieved world fame. And the English would
have been sure to find it odd. No one was
certain whether Chaplin did it on purpose but
this helped to bring about his huge success.
???
???
12
Para. 5 He was an immensely talented man,
determined to a degree unusual even in the ranks
of Hollywood stars. His huge fame gave him the
freedomand, more importantly, the moneyto be
his own master. He already had the urge to
explore and extend a talent he discovered in
himself as he went along. It cant be me. Is
that possible? How extraordinary, is how he
greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp
on the screen.
???
???
13
Back
Para. 6  But that shock roused his
imagination. Chaplin didnt have his jokes
written into a script in advance he was the kind
of comic who used his physical senses to invent
his art as he went along. Lifeless objects
especially helped Chaplin make contact with
himself as an artist. He turned them into other
kinds of objects. Thus, a broken alarm clock in
the movie The Pawnbroker became a sick patient
undergoing surgery boots were boiled in his film
The Gold Rush and their soles eaten with salt and
pepper like prime cuts of fish (the nails being
removed like fish bones). This physical
transformation, plus the skill with which he
executed it again and again, are surely the
secrets of Chaplins great comedy.
???
???
14
Para. 7  He also had a deep need to be
lovedand a corresponding fear of being betrayed.
The two were hard to combine and sometimesas in
his early marriagesthe collision between them
resulted in disaster. Yet even this
painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way
into his comic creations. The Tramp never loses
his faith in the flower girl wholl be waiting to
walk into the sunset with him while the other
side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the
French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for
women.
???
???
15
Para. 8a Its a relief to know that life
eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stable
happiness it had earlier denied him. In Oona
ONeill Chaplin, he found a partner whose
stability and affection spanned the 37 years age
difference between them that had seemed so
threatening that when the official who was
marrying them in 1942, turned to the beautiful
girl of 17 whod given notice of their wedding
date and said, And where is the young
man?Chaplin, then 54, had cautiously waited
outside.
???
???
16
Para. 8b As Oona herself was the child of a
large family with its own problems, she was
well-prepared for the battle that Chaplins life
became as unfounded rumors of Marxist sympathies
surrounded them bothand, later on, she was the
center of rest in the quarrels that Chaplin
sometimes sparked in their own large family of
talented children.
???
???
17
Para. 9 Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977.
A few months later, a couple of almost comic
body-thieves stole his body from the family
burial chamber and held it for money the police
recovered it with more efficiency than Mack
Sennetts clumsy Keystone Cops would have done.
But one cant help feeling Chaplin would have
regarded this strange incident as a fitting
memorialhis way of having the last laugh on a
world to which he had given so many.

The text is about Charlie Chaplins life which is
full of contrasts. He came into the world
miserable but brought the world endless joy. His
Tramp on the screen, crude or coarse in the eyes
of the English, gave him permanent fame in movie
history. His nonsense screen language with no
known nationality brought about his huge success.
The contrast between his desire to be loved and
his fear of being betrayed led to his painful
marriages but brought him the luck to walk into
the sunset with Oona. And even after his death,
the theft of his body served as a fitting
memorial to his life as a great comic.

The passage is made up of four partsa general
introduction of Charlie Chaplin, his professional
success, his emotional life and the end of his
storywith each of them developed through the
device of contrast. By using contrast, the author
skillfully weaves different aspects of his life
around his life as a great comic, thus making the
article an irresistible appeal to the reader.

Para. 9
A general introduction He came into the world
poor but made the world rich with joy. Besides,
if there is a balance between his miserable
childhood and his character of the Tramp, there
must be a contrast between his Tramp and his
permanent name in comedy history.
His professional success His Tramp gave him
permanent fame though many people thought it
crude his screen language, making no sense and
sounding like no known nationality, brought about
his huge success and his first sight of the
Tramp on the screen shocked him but, more
importantly, drove him to extend his talent.
His emotional life The contrast between his
desire to be loved and his worry about being
betrayed found its way into his comedy of
Monsieur Verdoux but meanwhile brought him the
luck to walk into the sunset with Oona in reality.
The end of his life story The theft of his dead
body, though a sad incident, was widely regarded
as a fitting memorialhis way of having the last
laugh on a world to which he had given so many.
