My Reading Journal 3 F組 朱慶元

To continue the previous chapter , this time , Oliver is being taught to , without knowing anything , steal stuffs from other children by the way he thinks is just the game . After few days , he is being sent to "work" with his partners and then they steal a silk handkerchief from a elder which make Oliver astonished , scared him run away and mislead that elder think he is a thief (I have a question: Since Oliver knows what thieving is , why couldn't him identify the purpose about that "funny game" is , is so weird , isn't it? ) . Then he is being arrested and sent to police station , meets the one who is bad temper , doesn't want to get trouble and willing to make Oliver guilty without clear evidence . Fortunately the book store owner make the correct witness , lead Oliver being freed , taken to the elder's house and treated well . Till here , through these chapters , the world which author describe is really brutal to those who don't have significant background like Oliver , those who surround them , in fact , don't care them whether the are suffering or what else , even more dead . They are just tools , being used until broken , and that's their only value in the world . Can this being changed ?Only the author knows .
