SUMMARY:

Oliver Twist, a 7 years old boy was an orphan, who lived in an orphanage.

The orphanage decided to sell him for 5 pounds, when he found out who his owner was, he did not want to go to live with him. The next day a man who sold tombs, bought him. As he did not feel very comfortable in that house, the next day he decided to go to London.

When he arrived, a boy who lived in a house with other children and a man who taught theme to steal, told him to go and live with him, go give him food and a home.

The next morning he left the house with two children to steal handkerchiefs and some food, things went wrong and instead of catching the other two children, police caught him.

Once at trial, a man said that it wasn't Oliver.

One day Oliver wanted to go to see the man who took care of many children in a jail, since they were going to hang him that same day. The man told Oliver to take all the jewels he had and keep theme hor himself.

That´s how Oliver Twist story finished.


MY OPINION:

I think it´s a story a little inappropriate for our age, but I think that on the other hand, it´s good that they know that we used to live like that before.

I belive that Charles Dickens decided to make this book, because he wanted to represent a part of his childhood, where he lived, what the houses were like, the streets and how people lived in those times.


CHARLES DICKENS:
He is an English writer and novelist, his works are universally recognized. He has many more books, such us: Great Hopes, Our Common Friend, Dvid Copperfield, and severa more.
