Washoe
Perhaps the most famous example of trying to teach language to an ape is that of Washoe. Washoe is a female chimpanzee who was caught in the wild when she was approximately 1 year old. She was then brought up as a human child, doing things such as eating, toilet training, playing, and other social activities (Gardner & Gardner, 1969, 1975).
She quickly learned many ASL signs from a range of syntactic categories, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns.
Charles Dickens & Oliver Twist
Charles Dickens, the English novelist, was one of the most famous writers of all time. He was a good observer of life and had a great understanding of poor and needy people. Many of the events and people in his books are based on events and people in his life. At the age of 12, Charles worked in a London factory. He held the job only a short time, but the terrible conditions of that factory had a lasting effect on his memory . He never spoke of it to his wife or children in later years.
One of the novels that Dickens wrote was 'Oliver Twist'. It was the story of a poor boy who had to work from morning to night. And all he got to eat was three bowls of watery soup. He had to work very hard. Poor Oliver!
