Charles Dickens is one of my favourite English writers because he reflected the Victorian society in his books in a perfect way. He depicted the miseries and troubles an innocent could have in that period of time. That is why "Oliver Twist" is, in my opinion, his most important novel. Here you have a little summary and a page of a comic, just in case you want to have a look. If you want to know more, just ask me for information or have a look to the sources I give you.
"Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens, published by Richard Bentley in 1838. The story is about an orphan Oliver Twist, who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse(=hospicio) and then is placed with an undertaker (=enterrador). He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets(=ladronzuelos). Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin, naively unaware of their unlawful activities."
As I told you in class, a good way of learning English is reading and listening a lot. The comics are the easiest and the funniest way of improving your English.
Try to read "Oliver Twist" a little. It's a sad story, but it is also very beautiful.
Enjoy it.
See you in class.
