Pickpocketing

two particular characters that act the same way at times, but are also completely different at the same time. The characters that I am talking about is Oliver the protagonist and Fagin. These two characters are similar because Fagin and Oliver and they are similar because they are in the same pickpocketing gang that Fagin is the leader of. Also, they are similar because they both are in poverty that’s why Fagin started his pickpocketing gang in the first place. Although Fagin and Oliver are similar they are also very different characters. For instance, Fagin is in a pickpocketing gang, but hardly ever does it himself. He started the pickpocketing gang because he doesn't want to do his dirty work. On the other hand Oliver does pick pockets because Fagin tells him to but Oliver is an orphan and Fagin is unknown if he is an orphan or not. Oliver has charm and is treated cruel unlike Fagin ,who is treated mean but doesn't have charms. This explains how Oliver and Fagin are both similar at times but then again are two completely different characters. Two events that created a major change are when Oliver asked for more food the later on leaves the orphanage and when he joins Fagins pickpocketing gang. To give an example on page seventeen, it stated, “Please, sir, I want some more.” This made a major change in the plot because the cook yelled at Oliver as well as striking him on his face which later on caused him to leave. Oliver left to the streets of London, where he met Artful…

In this magazine article by Green we see Robbins performing his “magical” trick of pickpocketing by taking advantage of peoples’ change blindness. Green in his article says: “Robbins needs to get close to his victims without setting off alarms bells” which reminds me of the examples of the boat, the advertisement, and the cards trick, where the change was happening so slowly that it was unnoticeable. The same way Robbins is slowly getting close to his victims, and thus allowing him to have easy…

real life material. The composition is dynamic and depicts movement. The table creates a straight line across the image to stabilize the activity. Looking from left to right, the first sight is of a young boy pickpocketing the shopkeeper. The eye then moves to the shopkeeper who is looking out and acknowledging the viewer, as if inviting them into the space.

Justice, synonymous to the word “fair” or in other words “treating like cases alike” (Schmidtz, n.d.). Suppose there are two folks who killed a man, yet the other was done out of self defense, would it still be accepted that the person who killed another due to defense get the same judgment as compared to the other who intentionally took another man’s life? Alike cases in action as to both of them killing a person but differ in context. On the other hand, justice may also be defined as making…

It isn't until it's revealed that the…
