Letter to Oliver Twist

Hello Oliver!

My name is Evelina and I have just read a book about you. I have also seen the film.

How was it to be poor and homeless? When you walked to London, where did you find food and water at the way? When you came to London and to Fagin did you know that the children there were thieves?

I live in the 21st century in Sweden and I think it's much better now than in the 19th century.

I'm fifteen years old and I live with my family in a house in Sweden. We are five persons who live in the house, it's me, my brother, my mother, my father and my cat. I like to play football and floorball. Do you know what it is?

In Sweden we start in the school when we are six years old and in school we writing, reading and much more. Can you read and write? Did you have schools in the 19th century? If you had, was it just the rich people who go there?

If you want to came somewhere in the 19th century you had to walk or get a horse. Now at the 21st century we had something that we called cars instead. We take us forwards with the cars, like you did with the horses.

Have a nice time!
