Oliver+Twist+(2nd+review)

// Oliver Twist // Written by: Charles Dickens Reviewed by: James R, Age 11 The book is about a poor boy who is called Oliver Twist. He was born in a workhouse. His mother died after Oliver was born. Once Oliver asked for more porridge (food that they had in the workhouse) because he was so hungry. The master hit him. Then Mr. Bumble took him to his best friend Mr. Sowerberry. Mr. Sowerberry is a coffin maker. Mr. Bumble gave him Oliver. After a day a boy knocked on the door. His name was Noah. Noah worked for Mr. Sowerberry. When Oliver and Noah ate together Noah began to say bad words about his mother. Oliver was angry and he began to hit Noah. Noah ran away and Oliver took food and also ran away. After 7 days Oliver meet a boy called Jack Dawkins. He took Oliver to Fagin. Fagin is a man who has many boys. He teaches them how to steal. He took care of Oliver. He gave him food and water. One day Fagin played a game with Dodger and Charley Bates. This game was how to steal. Fagin was playing the rich man and Dodger and Charley stole from him. Oliver laughed. After a while, Fagin asked Oliver to play with him. Oliver was happy. He loved this game. After the game he asked Oliver to go out with the two boys. Oliver went with Dodger and Charley to a bookshop. Dodger said he had found a rich man. They went near the rich man. He was looking at the books. They took a handkerchief from him and they ran away. Then Oliver understood. They all cried “Thief!” and the two boys who stole it showed that Oliver was the thief and the policeman took him. What happens next with Oliver? I like the book because it is about poor people and it is in the past. You can see how it was in the past. This book is good for people who like reading books about the past. I wish that all people should read this book. That would be very great!!! H
