2.
A.
History is about
From the author's hard
life, from question 3 and
from the cover of the
book, I infer that the book
is about a boy named
Oliver (by the name of
the text), and this boy
during his childhood has
several problems and
generally has difficulties
3.
B.
where and when it
happens
I think the story will take
place in Portsmouth, UK,
since this is where the
author comes from and It
happens in times where
the rights of the child did
not exist, where there was
a lot of child exploitation.
Before 1959
Children of 1830
 Due to the various political
conflicts, the rate of orphan
children was very high
compared to today
 there were no rights of the
child, therefore, there was
child exploitation, something
that happens nowadays but
in less quantity
 childhood as we know it
does not exist, since from a
young age they had to work,
they were not allowed to be
children
 Education was for the
privileged since there was a
great social gap
 there were a large number
of children in situations of
extreme poverty
