    Dodge was kind enough to talk to him and take him where Dodge lives. The house belongs to a guy named Fagin, he is a chubby Jewish guy who takes in many orphaned children. He enjoys cooking and taking care of the children. While Dodge introduces everyone to Oliver, a woman named Nancy introduces herself to Oliver and she helps Fagin take care of the children. I disliked how Mr.Monks was making a plan with Fagin to kill Oliver because he didn’t want Oliver to become a leader and have power. I disliked how Mr.Sikes was using Oliver as a shield whenever they were trying to kill Oliver and Nancy helped Oliver recover from the shooting incident. Throughout this movie, I actually enjoyed it and I wonder if Oliver will end up being adopted by Rose later…

    Mental health has always been looked upon as a tragic illness that affects the person who has it, but at the same time can affect the people surrounding, and the society. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and OCD are all examples of mental illnesses that have brought a lot of pain to individuals and their families.

Unfortunately, those kinds of illnesses prevent the person who has it from living a normal life and from being themselves,…

    Pure terror was the first thing I felt when I heard the news. How were we going to fulfill our huge production without it? Oliver was perfect- the lighting, sound, music cues, and the cast. The mixed cast was very large and full of orphans who looked as if they had lost all coordination.

Very big deal. Without his hat, so many lines change. During one of the scenes, I am a guard looking for Bill Sykes and one of the lines was describing the way his hat looked. So, we had to improvise.…
