An orphan named Oliver Twist is forced to carry out a robbery, but with the help of kind friends he manages to escape to a better future. Oliver Twist, another famous book by Charles Dickens, portrays a young boy named Oliver Twist who is born in a workhouse, grows up on a children's farm, and returns to the workhouse. There he almost starves, but is then brought to Mr. Sowerberry; but he runs away because he is mistreated, and goes to London, where he meets Fagin. Fagin gives him a place to stay and some food, but also teaches Oliver how to steal. When the other people see Oliver running away, they think he is a thief and take him to prison. Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Bedwin notice that Oliver is not that kind of person and graciously take him in. When Oliver finally comes out with books and expensive clothes, Fagin takes him back, lest he tell. Sikes, an accomplice of Fagin in the burglary, forces Oliver to go and help them steal, but the owner of the house shoots Oliver in the arm. Sikes runs away without him, so Oliver returns home, and surprisingly, the owners of that house, Rose Maylie, her family, and others, treat him kindly because he did so against his will. With his new clients, he meets Mr. Brownlow again, who had formed a bad opinion of Oliver after he left so suddenly. Later, Nancy, who works for Fagin, meets Rose and tells them what she knows about Oliver's past. Later, she is killed by Sikes for telling him, and he is haunted by this murder. Dialect and different types of characters make Oliver Twist all in all more interesting and surprising to read. Charles Dickens uses dialect to separate thieves and illiterates from educated and wealthy people. Most of the story has improper dialect or slang because thieves and... middle of paper... in the beginning because he compliments Oliver for being sharp, after he takes Oliver back, he still acts like Oliver doesn't know nothing about their business after torturing him, and finally, when he's in prison, he tells Oliver his little secret because he's still fond of Oliver: "The documents... they're in a canvas bag, in a hole a little up the fireplace, in the upper front room. (p. 414, par. 9) I give this book a 9 out of 10 because it's strangely interesting, but I had trouble understanding what certain phrases meant Oliver; while Sikes, after killing Nancy, kills himself because he secretly loves her; and Fagin will soon be hanged. This book would not exist without the dialect and the different types of characters perhaps the most emotional moments of his entire life.
