Cause and Effect.
The adventure of hardships ,povertry and the social
criticism deal by Oliver Twist was already began since the day he
was born due to the death of his mother.He grew up having no
family, a mother who will take care of him and led to be abandoned
in an unfortunate orphanage.Where the authorities with higher
position made orphans work and serve for them with unequal
treatment to them like making them . It simply because of the
evilness conquer at that time in society and in the world which Poor

Compare and contrast
The novel Oliver Twist of Charles Dickens that I have
read and to my favorite short novel The Old Man and the Sea of
Ernest Hemingway are one of the remarkable and famous novel of
all time in connection to its greatest novelist.Although they have the
same interesting and valuable major themes but still it differ in
another field.Oliver Twist is more classical which talks about the
reign of Good versus evil.And between the young orphan Oliver
Twist live of having a society of criticism and a government being
badly run.On the other hand, The Old Man and the Sea focuses in
the story of Santiago and his journey out the sea after 84 days
without catching fishes.And it shows all about friendship and pride
against man and to the natural world.At the same time, they both
expressed all about surviving and accomplishing at last in terms of
all the hardships that the protagonist had and show an important of
strength,wisdom and faith that inspires people who read these.
Problem-Solution
The novel Oliver Twist tells the life story of a young orphan
Oliver.The author centres to the obstacles encounter by the
protagonist in social problems of poverty and criticism of his
identity.In that Victorian era was a bad time under the inequality in
terms of maltreatment and unfair low between social
classes.Nevertheless,the only way of the characters to solve it is to
stick for goodness and still choose what is the right thing to do.They
stay positive and never give up so that they can
survive.Mr.Brownlow even uses his wealth and kindness to help
others and let evils pay for their mistakes.These mindset and
attitude of the characters let themselves to set free and saved by the
evilness they faced against their world.
