Answer 3

You need to organise your thoughts into some sort of logical pattern. Identify the various characters who interract with OT and the other children. If they can be grouped this will help - say good and bad those representing the law and those not. There is some shading in these: Nancy's attitude is different to Sikes' for instance so you need to look at the differences. The Bumbles' and the Sowberry's react differently so you need to examine these.

Analyse in each case what effect Dicken's intended to have on the reader - are we to feel sorry for Oliver - or impressed at his courage: the effects are quite deliberate in Dickens so should be fairly easy to spot.
