Oliver Twist was written there was no welfare state and so there was practically nothing as mechanisms for dealing with the poor as we know them today. The mortality rate for childbirth was very high this is one of the main problems that are presented throughout the novel.

<h3> How does this choice affect the story that follows?</h3>

Oliver Twist is born and raised in a life of poverty and tragedy in a workhouse in the fictional town of Mudfog, located 70 miles to the north of London.

From the depictions of workhouses and baby farms, we can see Dickens is expressing great concern for the social aspects of the time. The fact that the story initially is set on the baby farm later on the workhouse wants to centre our attention on the social injustice inherent at the time. We can see this is a depiction of some of the ideals of Dickens in a struggle for a more equal society.

As is expressed in the story “Some people are nobody's enemies but their own”― we can infer there is a lot of concern from the author dealing with the idea societies should be more equal.

Thus, this could be the answer.

Iteru [2.4K]
The sunspot has a central dark area which is called the Umbra, which appears dark because it's cooler than the rest of the sun's surface, with some lighter spots, and that center is surrounded by a lighter filamentary area, called the Penumbra, that flows outward. Hope this helps!:)<span />
