La vita nell'orfanotrofio
He stayer in an orphanage with his friends where he didn’t receive love or attention so at the age of nine he decided to leave the orphanage and starter life afresh elsewhere. He was employed by a man called Mr. Bumble, he worked all day and all he could eat was just a plate of porridge because they never give him meat (as well as the rest boys).
One day Oliver tried to tell the food server that it the food given to him wasn’t enough for him because he was still hungry. They were all surprised though he received nothing than being locked up in a dark room. The next morning a friend of Mr. Bumble called Sowerberry came to visit him and Oliver’s master asked him if he needed a boy to work for him; as a matter of fact he told him to take the little noy along with him while leaving for just £5. Sowerberry was a coffin maker and seller and at night Oliver slept with the coffins in the store and he felt not just afraid but abbandoned, ignored.
