asked to ask some more food but then he was punished for that. Oliver was cost

home. He met Mr. Sowerberry’s worker who named Noah and he didn’t like him because

tried to trigger Oliver’s anger so Oliver could attack him and he would get
into trouble. Noah basically said that Oliver’s mother was a whore. Oliver
couldn’t hold himself and he attacked Noah. Charlotte came to separate them
from a fight. She and Mrs. Sowerberry beat him so hard. Because of that he decided to go to city of
London, looking for a new life. He totally walked from the house to the London.
When he got there he was tired and starving. He met another person named Jack
Dawnkins as known as Artful Dodger and he was brought by Dodger to his group
which was led by Fagin. Oliver slept there and after he woke up and saw Fagin
had a lot of treasure. A moment later, the group and Fagin played a strange
game, it was actually a game about how to steal someone’s thing, it was a thief
game! A girl named Nancy came to see Fagin and Oliver thought that she was a
nice girl.

Oliver followed his new friends
among the street; Dodger said something about a guy who was looking books.
Dodger and his friends left Oliver and went over the guy and stole his
handkerchief away. Oliver realized that his new friends are bunch of thieves.
They ran away and the guy accused that Oliver was the one who stole his
handkerchief. Oliver was scared and ran away. People were trying to catch him
up and the group pretended to catch him too. He was caught and brought to
police station. An old man testified that it got nothing to do with Oliver. It
was other boys who stole the handkerchief. Because Mr. Brownlow felt pity to
Oliver when he saw Oliver was sick. Mr. Brownlow brought Oliver up to his
house. He was in high fever and he was treated goodly in there. Mrs. Bedwin,
the housekeeper took care of him so well.
The house gave him a really good food that he never tasted before.
Oliver had the similar face of the person in Mr. Brownlow’s house. In other
side, Fagin was questioning Dodger about Oliver and Dodger just told him what
was happening. While Bill Sikes came in, people were worried about Oliver would
tell who they were. So they planned to get Oliver back. It was difficult for
them to come to police station, no matter what they’re a bunch of thieves.
Oliver got so much better and one day Mr. Brownlow asking for a help to
return a book he borrowed from
booksellers. Oliver wanted to do that besides he wanted to do something to pay
back his goodness. A visitor of Mr. Brownlow said that Oliver would take his
money away and wouldn’t return to Mr. Brownlow’s house anymore. But Mr.
Brownlow had faith on him that he would return in 20 minutes. They waited hours
but Oliver had not returned to Mr. Brownlow house.

Oliver did
what Mr. Brownlow told but in the road he met his theft friends. He met Nancy
and she was acting strange and claimed that he was her family. She claimed to
everyone in public that Oliver knew her. Bill Sikes came and did the same
thing, he asked Oliver to come home with him. Oliver shouted that he needed a
help but they accused in public that Oliver just stole something. People from
crowd believed that. He didn’t have a choice unless he went with them. He met
Fagin once more. They all checked
Oliver’s pocket to take any money he had and he found the money from Mr.
Brownlow. Oliver was mad and he jumped off and tried to escape. They tried to
catch him again and he ran. Nancy stopped Bill to release his dog to catch
Oliver because the dog could tear him apart. Nancy stopped Fagin to hit him up
and she defended Oliver because he already got what he wanted. One of them,
