Journal 4
Oliver returns to hell- Fagin’s house. They strip Oliver of his clothing, Brownlow’s money, and the books. Oliver's Destiny continuing unpropitious, brings a great man to London to injure his reputation. Mr. Brownlow publishes an advertisement offering a reward of five guineas for information about Oliver’s whereabouts or his past. Mr. Bumble notices it in the paper while traveling to London. He thinks Oliver is a thief and cheating him. The time was passed, Oliver still stay with his “reputable friends”. They want to assimilation Oliver. They talks about the benefit about the thief to him. And the wily old Jew is caring about Oliver when he feels lonely. In short, the wily old Jew had the boy in his toils. Having prepared his mind, by solitude and gloom, to prefer any society to the companionship of his own sad thoughts in such a dreary place, he was now slowly instilling into his soul the poison which he hoped would blacken it, and change its hue for ever.
Sikes plans to rob a house, but he needs a small boy for the job. Fagin offers Oliver’s services. Sikes warns Oliver that he will kill him if he shows any signs of hesitation during the robbery. Sikes arranges to have Nancy deliver Oliver to the scene. Fagin watches Nancy for any signs of hesitation. Despite her earlier protests against trapping Oliver in a life of crime, she betrays no further misgivings. At last Oliver is delivered over to Mr. William Sikes from Fagin. Oliver jump to another hell. Now he lives with Sikes. One day morning, they prepare to leave for the job. Sikes takes Oliver on a long journey to the town of Shepperton. They arrive after dark. Oliver begins to his journey.
In 24 chapter, we can knows that something about Oliver’s identity. There has a gold locket; maybe it can help Oliver find his father. I think this chapter is important. That will be a turn point.In which a mysterious character- Mr. Monks appears upon the scene-chapter 26. From chapter 23-27, there are talks peoples befall except Oliver. But these chapters are closed to Oliver. Some of these chapters are important for Oliver’s life after.
In my mind, I think these chapters have a little bit boring.
