Okay there are many topics in this book
Dickens puts down many things in England and here are a few of them
1. treatment of poor
2. how the workhouse is hypocritical
These two are probably the easiest to write about.
1. Just say what you think of the poor in this novel. Say that they are forced to steal so that they can eat. When they are caught stealing they are put in jail, very stupid.
2. Mrs. Mann steals from the children in her care, feeding and clothing them inadequately. The Victorian middle class saw cleanliness as a moral virtue, and the workhouse was supposed to rescue the poor from the immoral condition of filth. However, the workhouse in Dickens’s novel is a filthy place—Mrs. Mann never ensures that the children practice good hygiene except during an inspection. Workhouses were established to save the poor from starvation, disease, and filth, but in fact they end up visiting precisely those hardships on the poor. Furthermore, Mr. Bumble’s actions underscore middle-class hypocrisy, especially when he criticizes Oliver for not gratefully accepting his dire conditions. Bumble himself, however, is fat and well-dressed, and the entire workhouse board is full of fat gentlemen who preach the value of a meager diet for workhouse residents
Oliver was an unfortunate boy who was nearly forced into a life of dishonesty by circumstances beyond his control.
And here you are wanting to fake having read the story, thereby voluntarily engaging in dishonest behavior despite the fact that being honest is completely within your power, by merely reading the book.
Oliver also attempted to affect his own circumstances by walking many miles to London, taking the responsibility for himself into his own hands, not expecting anything from anyone. Yet, here you are, expecting total strangers to help you fake knowledge that you do not have.
Pretty ironic, don’t you think?
Maybe, try using SparkNotes or CliffNotes.
