If you believe in fate, you shouldn't run. It will get you no matter what you do.
This is the reason why I picked this picture. I believe Dickens imagined Oliver after seeing so many children hoping for a better life without having the opportunity to do anything to change what they had.
In those times, children were considered and viewed as “small men”. Due to the fact that Modernity was changing what was known as “city”, children needed to be part of the society in all terms. You must find something to do and be useful or you would be one of those sitting outside the building and never stand again.
Young thieves were his friends, but he had the gift to see through people’s eyes. So, after everything he experienced during his time in London, at the end he was truthful and gentle with who took care of him.
Part of the movie seemed obvious. I was hoping to see some changes throughout the plot. However, and after expecting that he was discovered and saved, I was glad to see him as a young smart boy in the final scenes.
We do not deserve happiness; we have the right to experience it. Oliver Twist had a life that nobody wants for our kids; nevertheless he obtained what we all wish for: live a happy life and be loved.

Well done!!
Yes, no one wants to see our children living even the smallest part of what many children like Oliver lived in those times...
How would you develop the idea of modernity affecting children's role in society? How are children seeing nowadays in the technological era? Are you familiar with the term "born to be wire"?
Take care,
