After I have read the novel<>,I am really deeply impressed.How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive miseries remain pure in body and mind? The answer is the nature of goodness.I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens.The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime.The story follows Oliver as he escapes the workhouse and runs away to London.Here he receives an education in villainy from the criminal gang of Fagin.Then,Oliver is rescued by the intervention of a benefactorbut the mysterious Monks gets the gang to kidnap the boy again.Oliver suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings.I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill.To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered evil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end.One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs.Maylie and Rose and began a new life.He went for walks with them,and he worked hard at his lessons.He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These meaningful words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore.Charles Dickens believes that goodness can conquer every difficulty.For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.Goodness is to humans what water is to fish.On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, „The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose‟, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person.To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity.They look down on people‟s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted.As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others.On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit.In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility.If they cannot get profit from showing their „kindness‟, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down.They are one of the sorts that I really detest.Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life.They showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply.When someone tells you he‟s deceived you, forgive him anyway, when someone tells you what he‟s done, trust him anyway, and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams, think about your beliefs, then what hinders you will become a piece of cake in no time.Let us, therefore, enjoy life and treat other people lovingly.

English Impressions of Oliver Twist

After reading the introduction of “Oliver Twist ”, I know this is another book which describes a person who suffered a lot, then tries his best to confront adversity and succeed finally.After I read it, I searched many things online.I don't know much about Charles Dickens but he is a novelist before.But I find he was one of the greatest critical realist writer of the Victorian Age and strove for detailed realistic and factual description.In addition, capitalism was growing in the age.Moreover, children's literature prevailed in the society, people started paying attention to children's education.In this way, the novel reflects the problems of this age more or less.I have to say there are many problems being exposed in this age.Firstly, vulnerable groups suffered from poverty and were bullied.As a baby Oliver was kept in a room with other orphan babies, allowed to roll on the dirty floor, and never given enough food.Mrs.Mann was responsible for watching over these children, but she was more interested in her pay than in the growth of them.Mr.Bumble, one of the board who in charge of the orphanage should decide they ought to save money by feeding the children less.When Oliver was nine, he was put in a workhouse.He was just nine, but he was forced to work.To my surprise, the two adults for their own interests could ignore that Oliver was just a child and they could make a living in charity.Secondly, child labor is also fully reflected.The workhouse which Oliver worked in hired many kids and didn't give them enough food.These boys suffered from hunger and could often be seen sucking their fingers nervously.As a newcomer, there is no doubt that Oliver was bullied again.The leaders felt dangerous, hence they decided to get rid of him.With Mr.Bumble's threats, Oliver was sent to a coffin-maker's house.But Noah was jealous for Oliver, Mrs.Sowerberry and maid Charlotte also hated him.So the three persons made Oliver escape by every malicious means.What impressed me most is the maid and Noah, I think they are in the same boat with Oliver in some degrees, but they also bully him.Thirdly, juvenile delinquency is also exposed in the story.Fagin, who was a thief and wanted to convert Oliver into a thief.Lots of boys were controlled by him, as well as Oliver.Fagin and Sikes exploited these boys selfishly to earn ill-gotten gains.In my opinion, it reflects the society's indifference.Finally, it also shows the environmental pollution in a way.'Oliver Twist' is translated in an orphan in the city of fog in Chinese.We know London was polluted seriously in the period of the Industrial Revolution and it was called the city of fog.In this novel, it refers to the heavy fog and soot many times.On the other hand, there are also some kind people.Mrs.Maylie, Rose, Brownlow and Losberne all are kind to Oliver.Though they didn't know him at all, they would offer all they can provide for Oliver.Rose and Maylie tried their best to protect Oliver from hurting.Brownlow helped to make the truth come out.Nancy, another kind person in this novel.She saved Oliver at the risk of death, who is different from Monks.It is ironic, Monks who is a half-brother of Oliver wants to kill Oliver for the inheritance, but Nancy who loves Sikes saves Oliver as an exchange of her life.In the end, all the bad people are paid for their sinners.On the contrary, kind people live together happily.Rose and Harry get married though they are unequal in position.To my surprise, there are too many coincidences.Brownlow is Oliver's grandfather, Rose is his aunt.I think it's extremely idealize and it is not suitable for reality.These are some opinions of mine.

Learn to love and care

Here I am sitting on a couch alone, thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart, which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time.It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist, written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens.The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel, but what this aloof society lacks, and what I lack deep inside.These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals, oil that we usually mention.They’re abstract like feelings, and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care.Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life.They showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply.Mr.Brownlow is one such person.The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves, Artful Dodger and Charley Bates, and thought naturally it was Oliver, who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves, that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place.Being wrathful, he caught Oliver, and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered, unfair magistrates worked.Fortunately for him, Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards.With sympathy, Mr.Brownlow took the injured, poor Oliver to his own home.There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr.Brownlow’s own son.One day, however, Mr.Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected.The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him.After that he disappeared in Mr.Brownlow’s life.Searching for a while, Mr.Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money.But dramatically, they came across each other again a few years later.Without hesitation, Mr.Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr.Brownlow’s reaction.But as a matter of fact, this is just the lesson we should learn from him.Jesus said in the Bible.“Forgive not seven times, but seventy-times seven.” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for.We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking.Stop put Mr.Brownlow into the list of your models.Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done.That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.Then there are Mrs.Maylie and Rose, Oliver’s other benefactors.Maybe the reason they loved and cared Oliver was not because of forgiveness.In my point of view, it was trust.They had faith in Oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of Maylie’s at midnight.But this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole thing.They denied Oliver’s crime immediately and listened attentively to Oliver’s own description of his miserable life.They were deeply touched by Oliver’s strong perseverance and astonishing vitality.Accordingly, they remedied Oliver’s body and heart and turned him into a different boy.He began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education.As far as we can see, it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution.Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles, which we often expect to come about, so why not trust? Trust yourself, trust others, and you’ll salute miracles every single day.In the novel, though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves, who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely, he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life.Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs.In most cases, what you believe is what you’ll become.Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to doing, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds.You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life.It’s all dictated by your attitude.In the final analysis, love and care contain numerous forms, there are love of forgiveness, love of trust, etc.but they all come from your beliefs in life.When someone tells you he’s deceived you, forgive him anyway, when someone tells you what he’s done, trust him anyway, and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams, think about your beliefs, then what hinders you will become a piece of cake in no time.So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr.Brownlow and Mrs.Maylie do: love them and care them, which cost nothing but save much.They enrich those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.They can be certain smallest words or actions, but the memory of them sometimes last forever.Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore.Let us, therefore, enjoy life and treat other people lovingly.These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.篇二：雾都孤儿英文读后感

Oliver Twist byCharles Dickens-1-

The Incorruptibility of Natural Goodness

——On The Characters of Oliver and Nancy in Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens provides insight into the experience of the poor in 1830s England.Beneath the novel’s raucous humor and flights of fancy runs an undertone of bitter criticism of the Victorian middle class's attitudes toward the poor.Oliver Twist is the leading character who is the victim of the hypocrisy and venality of capitalism and fallen Charitable Institution of 1830s England.There are different opinions among people as to whether human beings are born with goodness or the opposite, sin.According to Charles Dickens, man is born an angel and what's more, natural goodness is incorruptible.The Characters of Oliver and Nancy in Oliver Twist are typical examples.First of all, Oliver Twist is incorruptible although trapped in the terrible circumstances.On the one hand, what he did could account for this tip.Oliver is an orphan living in a hypocritical workhouse from his birth.Because he can’t stand the terrible conditions in the workhouse, he escapes to London where he is trapped by Fagin who tries and teaches him to be a thief.Though treated with cruelty and surrounded by filthiness, he is still innocent and gentle.On the other hand, unlike those juvenile delinquents who talk with broken English, Oliver speaks Standard English without being polluted by the coarse surroundings.The character Nancy is another typical example.“Remarkably free and agreeable”, she is quite contradictory.Nancy is a fallen woman, to be specific, she is a prostitute.At first, when she helps Fagin and recaptures Oliver, I hold the opinion that she and those thieves are birds of a feather.But later I found I was too hasty about rushing to such a conclusion.After Nancy overhears Monks' telling Fagin his plans to destroy Oliver, she gives the secret away to Rose at the cost of her own life.In this novel, her final decision to protect Oliver reminds me of an old saying in ancient China by Mencius: human nature is good, so everyone has compassion and everyone can be emperor Yao and Shun.But how to explain that there are someone “evil”, such as Fagin and Monks who tries to kill Oliver and get a large sum of heritage compared with Oliver and Nancy who are born with incorruptible goodness? To this point, the author Charles Dickens has been criticized by many readers.I have researched many materials of Dickens's opinion about man is born with incorruptible goodness or not.To my surprise, he claimed that a corrupt environment is the source of vice.But in this novel, I find that although surrounded by evil circumstances, Oliver is compassionate and innocent all the time.So obviously, Oliver's incorruptibility undermines some of Dickens's argumentation.Oliver Twist byCharles Dickens-2-

From my point of view, goodness is a relative concept.A person who is kind and good to his relatives may seem evil from others' prospects.Because until now we have not enough stuff to support all of the people in the world.The law of survival of the fittest in natural selection and the unfairness in social system account for the “wickedness”.This also can explain the reason why some crimes seem understandable.Who is supposed to be responsible for the strange phenomenon? In Oliver Twist, the hypocritical capitalism and fallen Charitable Institution are the answers.Apart from the controversy, still I have learned much from the two characters, the main two points can be listed as follows:

For one thing, we should believe in the goodness of human beings and depression can be conquered by love and hope.The same idea can date back to the forefathers at home and abroad: the Three Character Primer begins with the classic sentence :People are born good（人之初，性本善).Greek Philosopher Socrates also claimed the same.At this point, I find myself in complete agreement with the author.I believe this is the very reason why there are so many people who would like to help others disregarding repayment.For instance, the moment people of Yushu was in trouble for the earthquake, thousands of kind people all over the world would like to lend a helping hand voluntarily.For another, the effect of the environment is not that irresistible.We should think twice before arriving at the conclusion: he that lies down with dogs must rise up with flea.To be specific, it is not sensible to turn someone away just because he was born in coarse environment.Just like the Song Zhou's the article praises the Lotus as the gentlemen's flowers, which share the same feature with both Oliver and Nancy, and that is growing up from the filthy mud without being polluted(出淤泥而不染).
