The story is set in 19th-century the United Kingdom.
Oliver Twist is brought up in the workhouse(his mother died after her giving birth to Oliver) and sent out to work. He grew up in a difficult environment, however, he is always a innocent and dignified boy. I like his polite expression. For example, he often use 'sir' to other people at the end of his words.
In the workhouse, the little Oliver and his companions(other children) suffered terrible hunger, because they weren't given enough food. One day they held a council to decide a person who asked their master for more after the supper. Unfortunately, Oliver became the person by votes.
In the evening, he rose from a table and, advancing to the master,bowl in hand, said,
"Please sir, I want some more."
Of course, the master got angury and finally, Oliver was expelled from the workhouse and sent out to an undertaker as a servant. However, he was treated cruelly by members of the undertaker. At last, he ran away from there and decided to go to London. The little boy walked for a week, and almost reached London, but he was hungry and exhausted. When he was sitting, a little and strangest-looking boy, called 'Artful Dodger' appeared and took him to Doger's living place with Mr. Fagin and other children who had no parents.They were making a living by thieving in London.
One day, he was arrested as a thief by police's mistake, when he walked the city with Doger and another companion.
The true criminals were Doger and the another comapanion!
Oliver was very poor boy, but he is always polite and energetic. I like his character and I want to be like him
. Also, his adventure always makes me feel thrilling! I'm looking forward to reading its continuation.
see you next time....
