Reginald Appiah11 January 20142nd period, H Brit LitOliver Twist: Chapter NotesChapter 1Setting the stage for the story, this chapter clearly emphasizes the beginning of Oliver's life and provides clues to the his future social status. Oliver was said to have been born in a workhouse, staffed by wardens and overseers, and the woman giving birth was a young, pale woman who had earlier been found lying in the street. Introduced by a surgeon and a drunken woman, the death of the young, possibly divorced woman, left her newborn baby, later named Oliver Twist, orphaned. The beginning and the last two paragraphs really give an idea of ​​the situation Oliver Twist was in. In the penultimate paragraph the author indicates the importance of clothing and how it can symbolize social class. Although Oliver can be born of any social class, his class can be easily determined as easily as exchanging calico suits for yellow suits. The author summarizes the main difference in class distinction starting from clothing, which is a rather depthless and cruel statement based on Victorian society. Oliver is introduced into society as a parish child. Chapter 2 After Oliver spends eight to ten months in the workhouse, extensive care is needed for the orphaned child. Discovering that the workhouse authorities have no permanent female residence in the workhouse, the parish authorities send or "raise" young Oliver Twist to a filial workhouse, owned by a businesswoman named Mrs. Mann. Mrs Mann is a cruel woman known for running the child service and encourages acts of slowly starving people in the service. He keeps for himself much of the allowance used to feed the prisoners and takes some of the young men to their deaths, something...... middle of paper ......oah and Charlotte, who was the maid of the house. The food he was given was quite small compared to the others. After Mr. Bumble's announcement to Mr. Sowerberry of a recent death, Oliver began his first mission with Mr. Sowerberry to prepare for a pauper's burial. After meeting the dead woman's husband, the husband notices that his wife starved to death and that he was put in prison when he asked for her. The dead woman's mother asked for a cloak to wear at her dead daughter's funeral and for some bread to eat. Later the funeral takes place, which ends in just four minutes. The burial of the coffin a few meters deep suggests how compact the graves were. Mr. Sowerberry confiscates the cloak from the poor dead man's mother and Oliver then confirms that he is not gratified by the feat. Mr. Sowerberry advises Oliver to get used to it.Chapter 6
