It's generally agreed among Dickensian experts that most of Dickens's books contain some autobiographical content and this is the most autobiographical of them all. One thing from his own personal experience to which he hoped to draw attention was the reform of child labor laws. It was considered a huge gain by reformers when work hours for children were lowered to 10 hours a day, and reformers like Dickens pressed even more insistently for improvements to conditions, pay and injuries. On a somewhat more personal level, the book can be viewed as wish-fulfillment, the old "prince and pauper" syndrome. Most children fantasize at some point that their "real" parents are not those with which they live. Dickens's parents were obviously less than ideal and Oliver Twist is seen as his efforts to expiate that lack.
The Original title of the book was Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress but became known simply as Oliver Twist
Of his sixteen major works, nine had titles which referred to the name of the book's hero, such asThe Pickwick papers, Nicholas Nickleby, Barneby Rudge, Martin Chuzzlewit, Dombey & Son, David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Charles Dickens own childhood was just about as miserable as Oliver's. He was writing about what he knew about.
Many writer write stories about the world that they understand. Possibly to make people aware of its shortcomings but no doubt also to earn a living .
to outline how bad crime was
There are many, many ways the ending could be rewritten; in fact, the musical Oliver! puts an interesting twist on the facts. Characters who die in the book could be made to live and vice versa. Fagin could repent his sins (we see hints of that late in the book) and he and Nancy could team up to save Oliver. The various permutations are virtually endless.
one of the most important events that happened in Oliver Twist is when he got into a fight with Noah Claypole because that got the ball rolling and set of a chain of events. another important event that happened was when Oliver stayed with Mr. Brownlow because without him the mystery of his parentage may never have been solved. The last important event is when he got shot and stayed with the Maylies.
