Oliver Twist grew up in a workhouse because his food because he was hungry, he was punished. So Oliver ran away to London. .ere he met a boy called Jack Dawkins who was in a gang of thieves.
An old man, Fagin, had taught the gang how to be thieves, and Oliver went to live with them.

One day, Oliver was with the gang when they tried to take something from a man’s pocket. The man, Mr Brownlow, caught them but was kind and stopped the police from arresting Oliver. Instead, he took him back to his house and looked after him. Oliver lived happily with Mr Brownlow until one of the gang, Bill Sikes, kidnapped him and took him back to Fagin.

Oliver had to go with the gang when they broke into a country house which belonged to Mrs
Maylie and her niece Rose. .e thieves were discovered and Oliver was shot. When Oliver told Mrs Maylie and Rose that he did not want to be a thief, they believed him and invited him to live with them. One day, at their house, Oliver saw Fagin and another man called Mr Monks looking at him through a window.

Finally the police arrested all of the gang. Oliver discovered that Monks was his half brother. He wanted Oliver to be in trouble so that he (Monks) would get all their father’s money. In the end, Mr Brownlow adopted Oliver and they went to live with Mrs Maylie and Rose. Oliver found out that Rose was his mother’s sister.
