=** The story **= = = This book is about the young boy Oliver Twist who is about 12 years old. He was born in an orphanage near London, a place where they had very strict rules. His mother died when he was a baby, so he never knew her or any other of his family.

The children got very little food, so one day Oliver asks for more. The leaders of the orphanage got very surprised and they wanted to hang Oliver for what he had done. Oliver saw no other options then to escape to the big city.

He walked with his bare feet in one week, his feet got really wounded and bad. When he arrived in London, Oliver was hungry and thirsty. When there came a boy and said he would give him food and water if he came with him, Oliver did not think twice before he followed the boy. He needed energy, and it was the only way to get some. When he came to the house, Oliver got a little bit skeptical. It was an old house and it didn’t look good. It was an old man and many other boys at Oliver’s age there. The man was called Fagin, and he looked like a typically man who lived on the street; skinny, hunchbacked and muddy. He fed the boys and gave them a roof over their head as long as they were stealing for him. They seemed to like it there. Oliver on the other hand, did not. This wasn’t the life he wanted, he was a good boy and he didn’t like to steal from people.

Fagin had some friends, Sikes and Nancy. Sikes was a cruel bad man and Nancy was his girlfriend. = =  Oliver could not understand this, because Nancy was really sweet and kind to him. = =

One day Oliver and two of the other boys were out at the street. = = Oliver did not know what they were doing there, until he saw them stealing one man’s wallet. The boys ran while Oliver, shocked as he was, just watched. Of course it was him the men caught for the robbery. Oliver said it wasn’t him that took the wallet, but who would have believed that? The police in London did not. One man felt sorry for Oliver, and he wanted to bring Oliver home with him. He was called Mr. Brownlow. He was different from Fagin. The opposite, actually; rich, well-dresses, neat and clean. Oliver wasn’t sad about coming home with him.

After some days Fagin and Sikes came to get Oliver. They needed him; Fagin hoped he would be a good stealer. = = = = They came in the night, so they managed to take him with them without Mr. Brownlow or his house keeper, Mrs. Bedwin, noticing anything.

Some days after that night, Nancy helped Oliver to escape from Fagin. She should never have done that, the punishment she got was terrible. It resulted in Sikes killing Nancy, she didn’t manage to keep any secret from him. ==

Fagin and Sikes managed to bring Oliver back, but at the same time Mr. Brownlow got really frustrated and tired of these t wo criminals. He called the police and with his authority he got the police to bring all their forces to Fagin’s house and this time the plans succee ded. Sikes tried to run away so he fell off a roof, Fagin got arrested and Oliver came home with Mr. Brownlow.

Oliver lived happily ever after with Mr. Brownlow, who turned out to be his grandfather. Finally Oliver had someone he could call family and who really cared about him.
