Book Report OLIVER TWIST
INTRODUCTION
  Oliver Twist is written by Charles Dickens 1838. This describes the way Oliver, an orphan is growing up ,going through the difficulties. This book points out the problem of a child protagonist that was revised at that time. The book has been adapted as a film and a long-running Broadway musical and has been considered a classic ever since it was first publiushed. Charles Dickens uses the characters and situations in the book to make a pointed social commentary, attacking the hypocrisy and flowse of institutions, including his society’ government,its law and criminal system and its method of dealing with poor people. Interestingly, he dose not suggest any solutions; he marely points out the suffering inflicted by these systems and their deep injustice. Dickens basically believed that most people were good at heart but their good impulses could be destroyed by social ills.
SUMMARYÂ

One day, Oliver picked up the worst luck of the draw and went to Mr Bumble to give them more food. He ended up going out from this orphan and went to the mortician for a worker. In spite of this situation, he run away from this mortician and went to London. He got into the gang of the theft followed by Fagin. Fagin tried to tutored him to steal something. Oliver withstand the need of the gang and Mrs Brownlow protected him. Oliver lived there satisfactory for a minute. However, Fagin found out him and made him to steal something with Bill Sikes.When Oliver tried to go into the house that they were trying to do stealing, he was hurted. Rose Maylie took care of him and she treated him very kindly. Monks tried to get a contact with Fagin with the bad information. Nancy who is kind to Oliver did an action to help Oliver out and told him about secrets. As a result, Sikes killed her for her betrayal action. On the other hand, the police found out the evidence of the gang and took Fagin and Sikes. Oliver suceeded to live a happy life with Mr Brownlow.
ANALYSIS
 Charles Dickens makes considerable use of symbolism. The many Oliver faces are primarily good versus evil which continually trying to corrupt and exploit the good, but the good won out in the end. For instance, Fagin is a symbolism of merry old gentlemen. Not only people but also things or description symbols something. The London slums is a symbol of terror and brutal mood of England at that time while the countryside becomes the symbol of heaven and safer , happier place to Oliver. Food plays an important role in this book as well. The part that Oliver’s request for more food and the shocked exclamation of Mr.Bumble’s is one of the most famouse scenes.Toward the end of the novel,the desicion of Nancy to meet Brownlow and rose on London Bridge reveals the symbolic aspect in Oliver Twist. Bridges exist to link two places . The meeting on London Bridge represents the collision of two worlds unlikely ever to come into contact-the idyllic world of Brownlow and Rose, and the atmosphere of degradation in which Nancy lives. Throughout the novel, Dickens employs a shifting narrative voice. In this book , there are hisory context. In the mid-nineteen century, England was suffering from economic instability and widespread unemployment as I researched on the internet. The economic instability was a legathy of the Napolenic era, which lasted until 1815. During this time,England was at war with France. The English government had imposed heavy taxes to pay for the war, and althogh there didnot really affect the wealthy classes,they were a crushing burden on the poor; the rising of prices, the scarce of the food, the rise of the inflation. In addition, because of the war, French and European markets for English goods were closed, leading umployment among workers. Workers are also umemployment because the increasing use of machinary in manufacturing had made many of their jobs obsolete.
OPINION and CONCLUSION
 I think Oliver Twist describes not only a sad story in London but also a variety of problems from history terms to mental ones through using some techniques such as irony, symbol, satire and so on. That is why Oliver twist became a famous novel worldwide and was awarded . The book itself is now translated into more than 25languages. I recommend this book to all of you whoever have interests in a history In London or not because this book is made well to understand the situation in London at that time.This book must give you some thoughts and anger for the devastated experiments in London at that time.
