Problems from the past, will be always problems of the future.

Even thought the story “Oliver Twist” was written along time ago, we can see nowadays some of the issues that were happening during those times. Oliver was an orphan who was looking for a better life. We can see this in every corner or in every street of our country. Children are mistreated or fore to work in order to get some money for their parents who are drug addicts or alcoholics. In Oliver’s case, he had to survive on his own. Everywhere he went whether he was mistreated or he was pushed to steal. He had no good examples to follow or someone who could take care of him. He was alone.

Ok, we should not be so dramatic. There are some children who are treated correctly and love by their entire family. There are also children who have everything they want and they also have opportunities to be someone in the future.
The problem I saw in the book was inequality and inequity in the society. Wealthy people and poor people were extremely separated, as they are now, and no way in this world they will be seeing as equals. You were respected if you had money, but if you did not you have to accept to be accused of stealing, pick pocketing, etc.

To conclude, I think that we have a lot to work on. It is not right that we have to face the same problems we had 70 years ago. What we need is to find more “Mr. Brownlow” in order to make this world a better place to live in.
