Summary of Oliver Twist!

Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse. His mother allways drunk, and when she died, his father, a busy local doctor, didn't pay enought to be very interested in Oliver's survival.

Then, he went on an orphanate and in there he did the job of undo the ropes, but his really destiny was to be housekeeper.

His first job wasn't very pleased, and he had to leave his family because the son insults her mother and Oliver hit him.

After that, Oliver decided to walk alone for go to London, and he was walking during one week, without food and any places to sleep.

In London, he stopped in front of the church, and lying on a floor he met with Dodger, a same age's boy.

He started to live in old flat with other poor orphen boys and with an old man who looked after them: Fagin. With this "Family", Oliver learned how to steal, and he discovered the Fagin's secret: a box with gold jewels.

When Dodger and Charly went to a city to steal something Oliver go with them, but the police saw the children and ould catched Oliver. He was very hungry and ill, and the victim of the robbery decided to adopt and look after the poor boy.

With this way, Oliver could have some happy days, he wore clean and expensive clothes and helped his new family a lot... but Fagin's family was afraid because they thought that Oliver called the police to talked about them. So, Fagin have a friend, Sick, and with his help and one girl, they could take Oliver at home again.

After a few days, Sick wanted to go on a house where Oliver passed his more happy days and steal something from there, but at finally the police could catch him, and Oliver came back with the rich family who looked after them them very well.

Fagin was closed in a prison, but his mind didn't be sane, anyway he could recognize Oliver, but we don't know what happened with other boys :(.

**Final evaluation for english **

In my opinin I thing that this english classes have been very succesful to improve my english, this idea of organize the class in corners (for use the PC, see videos, do speakings with Anika, listenigs, and readings, and do exrecicis from the grammar book for practicise for the Selectivitat exams) is a good from that the students don't do the same every week , and learn english using diferent ways.

3. Life in Jane Austen's times.

The thing that caught my attencion on these times, are a lotof things abou the love and the marriage. The first is the thing that the lonely people went at the balls that organized rich people, and in there they have the oportunately to know their future parthers. But at first, the only thing that they could do was the eye contact, and allways was the man who ask to the girl. Then, before the marriage, because when you know your parther i just for marriage, so.. you knew your future man, and before that marriage he had to ask to her father for it.

5. Dating traditions:

At these time when some lookfor something to marry with, allways was the man who ask to girl for the marriage. They use to know their future parther dancing in special rich person celebrations.

When a lady was walking in a room if one man met her, he had to bow in front of her, and salute.

The people had the oportunately to talk alone after a little talk with the girl's father, or in some ocassion when they met for coincidence.

The first time that Darcy touches Elizabet was strange, because at this time the lovers couldn't have fisical contact before the man ask to her father to marry with him.

In may opinion, the 3 basic social norms for dating could be:
- be sure that you are so interesting in that person.
- start the date talking a little bit about yourself.
- know the person little by little.

6. Keira Knightley.

I think she is an heroine because she didn't want follow the tradicion, and she gets to married with the person who really love, not who her parenths want.

7. Alternative US ending:

-why is a different ending required?
because the people from US didn't like the original open ending.

- Which do you prefer?
I prefer the alternative ending because its more romatic, and it wasn't open.

8. Write your opinion in 100 words: "Happiness in the marriage is a question of change"

I'm not agree with the opinion that if you know you parther very well isn't a guarantee of hapiness, because knowing him o her you gain more confidence to that person too. And the confidence is basic for the relationship. More people thing that if you know your parther very fast, knowing his defects too, you started to "bored" him and you want to change for look for hapiness... yes, maybe, but it isn't allways true, because in this century you have the oportunetly to split up with someone if you don't like the relation, and if you have to do that, is better do it faster as possible.
