Oliver Twist


Oliver Twist

The birth of Oliver twist was a miracle, her mom died after she brought him to life. His first years of life were the most difficult for him, since he was most of the time traveling from one place to another. When he burned the hospital didn’t want to take care of him, not even the church of the little town, so the doctor decided to send to a house were there were twenty or thirty children. There are cared for an elderly woman, called Mrs. Mann. At the age of nine Mrs. Mann decided to take him out of the hospice because hi was to big to still living there. One day Mr. Bumble, decide to take Oliver to work at a funeral. He was treating worse than when he was at the hospice, so he decide to escaped. He travels to London, where he met Dawkins, who decide to take him to his boss, Fagin who was the lieder of a little gang of thefts. He showed him tricks to still people’s wallets, watch and other personal things of value. One time, the little kids decide to robed a store were they captured Oliver, the owner of the store who was Mr. Brownlow felt sorry for him, and decide not to present charges to him. He took Oliver to his house and takes care of him, since hi was sick and wick. Oliver felt the most loved child in the world, while he was living there. Fagin, who heard of Oliver situation living in Mr. Brownlow house didn’t like it at all, so he decided to go and look for him. Oliver felt scared and feinted to the ground once he so Mr. Fagin in Mr. Brownlow house. Mr. Brownlow arrived on time and stopped Fagin from taking Oliver away from him. At the end Mr. Brownlow decided to help Oliver and find out about his family.

Reflection: the lector is trying us to see how life was back them, the poverty that people has to faced and what they have to do in order to survived. Obviously children where the most affected, living in hospices with poor condition. One part of the book that touches my feelings was when Oliver defends her mom, when he not even had nothing of her.
