Bonjour,
je suis une élève de TERMINALE S et j'ai ce devoir maison à rendre. Je suis vraiment désespérée car j'ai tout fait sauf une question dont je n'arrive pas à venir à bout. Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait me sortir de ce pétrinS.V.P s'il vous plaît?
Merci beaucoup d'avance à ceux qui me prêteront attention!
Voici le texte:
I want some more...
Oliver Twist is an orphan and is poor. He now lives in the *workhouse with other boys. They are not given enough food
and it is Oliver’s lot to ask for more *gruel that evening.
... The gruel disappeared; the boys whispered each other, and winked at Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him.
Child as he was, he was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the table, and advancing to the
master, basin and spoon in hand, said, somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:
“Please, sir, I want some more.”
The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupefied astonishment on the small rebel for
some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear.
“What!” said the master at length, in a faint voice.
“Please, sir,” replied Oliver, “I want some more”.
… The *board were sitting in solemn conclave, when *Mr. Bumble rushed into the room in great excitement, and
addressing the gentleman in the high chair, said :
“Mr. Limbkins, I beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!”
There was a general start. Horror was depicted on every countenance.
“For more!” said Mr. Limbkins. “Compose yourself, Bumble, and answer me distinctly. Do I understand that he asked
for more, after he had eaten the supper allotted by the *dietary?”
“He did, sir,” replied Bumble.
“That boy will be hung,” said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. “I know that boy will be hung.”
Nobody controverted the prophetic gentleman’s opinion. An animated discussion took place. Oliver was ordered into
instant *confinement; and a *bill was next morning pasted on the outside of the gate, offering a reward of five pounds
to anybody who would take Oliver Twist off the hands of the parish. In other words, five pounds and Oliver Twist were
offered to any man or woman who wanted an apprentice to any trade, business, or calling.
Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist (1837) (abridged)

J'ai trouvé ça en cherchant un peu...

Voici mon début de réponse :
I learnt that in victorian England the charity was as the minimum necessity as regards the help(assistant) in the poor people.
When we see oliver starving and asking for a little more food, we are shocked at once by the direct refusal of limbkins which decides besides selling him(it) for only 5 pounds.
Mais ce qui me pose probleme c'est que dans la question ils demandent "pourquoi pensez vous que les bonnes personnes de la paroisse se sentaient obligé d'aider les orphelins : je pense que c'est principalement pour donner une bonne image de la paroisse.
Ils demandent aussi : qu'attendent ils des orphelins ? (je ne sais vraiment pas quoi répondre a celle ci .
ils demandent également: que se passé il si ils n'était pas comme il fallait ? : je pense qu'ils étaient punis ou battu étant donné qu'il sagit du début du 20 eme siecle .
Pouvez vous juste m'éclairer dans mes réponses svp ?
