OLIVER TWIST
It’s a novel written by Charles Dickens. Only reading the title,. What immediately comes to the surface by reading the title is that Oliver is the protagonist of the present extract and the intelligent reader understands that Oliver is facing a difficult moment and he wants to get to something that will make him happy. Considering the structure, the text is arranged into three parts: narration, description and dialogue. The second chapter is entairly dedicated to the social problems of Dickens' times. The Introduction describes the condition of Oliver and his friends, that were very hungry “one night, one boy tried to eat the boy who slept next him”. Dickens describes the dinner, in correlation to Oliver's felling. The last part of chapter is highlighted by the sentence "Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery". Concluding in my opinion the message provided by the text is to convict life conditions of children that lived in workhauses. He criticizes high classes of sociely that do not spend any money for children's food, but they create many expensive celebrations.
