Oliver Twist


Oliver Twist is a very good story in my opinion. It’s sad and heart-warming.
Oliver’s mom died when she gave birth to him. He grew up working and living in a bottle-washing factory with other orphans. He was working for and taken care of the Bumbles. Every night, Mr. Bumble served the children gruel, which was not enough for the kids to grow tall and healthy, but Oliver did grow, but he was still very skinny. One day, a new orphan came to the factory and made friends with Oliver. At the dinner table, when the children quickly finished their meal as usual, the new orphan made a plan for Oliver to go ask Mr. Bumble for more gruel. So Oliver stepped in front of Mr. Bumble and asked him nicely if he could have more gruel. Mr. Bumble got really mad at the boy’s manners.
And this is where the adventure starts, Mr. Bumble sold him to an undertaker, they only fed him with fatty parts of the meat, then Oliver decided to escape to London, he got caught in a band of thieves, went to court and a lot worse!
Will Oliver find his own true place in the world?
