Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
As you have read ‘Oliver Twist’, a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century which has became one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, you can really understand the worlds‘regain the nature of goodness’.
Charles Dickens was born in a poor family ,having a poor background ,he wrote this novel in his twenties ,who was just with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals,as well as to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of ‘Oliver Twist’was an orphan named Oliver Twist, when he was born ,he was thrown into a world which is full of poverty and crime. He has suffered enormous pains, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt really sorry for the poor boy, but at the same time I detest the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as all the happy stories do, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a
happy life at the end. One of the plots which 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, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
Sometimes,in the deep and quiet nights,I keep asking myself,how can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
Reflect on myself,I define the nature of goodness to be one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. 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. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
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.
There are some worlds in an essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of
vermin.’.
All in all,if a person without goodness ,he is destined to lose everything. Thereby, all those ‘vermin-to-be’should learn from the book and remember to regain the nature of goodness in the bottom of theirs’hearts.
《雾都孤儿》英文读书笔记 篇一： Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He 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.

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.

This week, I read the first chapter of Oliver Twist which was named Treats of the Place Where Oliver Twist was Born and the Circumstances Attending His Birth. This part tells us the sad and serious background of this story. Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse. There is no concentrate date about him, because it can be of no possible consequence to the reader. In this story, the author is not disposed to maintain that the being born in a workhouse is in itself the most fortunate and enviable circumstance that can possibly befall a human being, he does mean to say that in this particular instance, it was the best thing for Oliver Twist that could by possibility have occurred. After Oliver Twist was born, he can’t breathe well. For sometime he lay gasping on a little flock mattress, rather unequally poised between this world and the next: the balance being decidedly in favour of the latter. Luckily, after a few struggles, Oliver breathed, sneezed. Now, he is safe. Oliver’s mother tried her best to see the lively kid. A lot of people bless her. But she still left the world. Everyone didn’t know where she came. There was on ring in her hand, so she was no marry. Young Oliver Twist was enveloped in the old calico robes which had grown yellow in the same service. So he was despised by all, and pitied by none. Oliver cried lustily. If he could have known that he was an orphan, left
The Reflection of Oliver Twist Tell the truth, I could not understand this novel well . About five weeks ago ,I watched the same name film which had a deep impression on me . I was touched by the hero from this novel whose name is Oliver Twist . So then I opened the book to read again . Although there were some differences between the film and the novel, it presented the same thing . I feel that all the facts described is to make the real inner sense more thought-provoking. The themes in this novel can be divided two parts–positive and negative aspect. The first positive theme was kind .In this novel ,kind had defeated the evil .Oliver, Nacy and Rose who were all the representatives of the kind . Although they were born in a poor family and grew up in the dark and criminal world .They still kept an unsophisticated world and a kind heart. No matter how hard they were, they never gave up and corrupt. They showed us their gracious quality .In addition , Nacy treated Oliver as her young brother so that she helped and cared him in many situations even she finally killed by his bloody husband for rescuing Oliver. Brown protected Oliver from murdering because he was kind and sympathetic to him. All they were strong due to their kind hearts ,so in the end , they defeated the evil and conquered. It also told us that everyone should have dignified. I admired Oliver’s bravery . while suffering from starvation and malnutrition for a long period of time, Oliver was chosen by the other boys at the orphanage to request more gruel at dinner one night. He begged for some more soup just because he was very hungry. Nobody can do that . The trainee shamed his mother and he revolted against the trainee. Even he was weaker than the trainee when he was caught by the Fagin, he cried and begged them to send the money and books back to Brownlow. He wanted to preserve his dignify and showed his honesty. I was touched by all these behaviors.
Oliver Twist was born to be an orphan in a workhouse ，where children are maltreated and constantly starved. Beadles of the workhouse hate Oliver’s personality and traffic in him to an undertaker to work as an apprentice. Unable to bear the cruel abuse, Oliver run away to London. There he falls into the hands of a gang of thieves headed by old Fagin. Oliver is taught and forced to steal. He is once rescued by the kind-hearted Mr Brownlow but caught by the thieves again.It finally turns out a man named Monks is Oliver’s brother,who wants to make the boy a criminal due to the inheritance.In the end, with the help of Nancy, Oliver escapes from the menace of all the bad men and is adopted by Mr Brownlow,leading a happy life.
《雾都孤儿》读书笔记600字《雾都孤儿》是狄更斯第二部长篇小说。这位年仅二十五岁的小说家决心学习英国现实主义画家威廉·荷加斯的榜样，勇敢地直面人生，真实地表现当时伦敦贫民窟的悲惨生活。他抱着一个崇高的道德意图：抗议社会的不公，并唤起社会舆论，推行改革，使处于水深火热中的贫民得到救助。正因为如此，狄更斯历来被我国及前苏联学者界定为“英国文学上批判现实主义的创始人和最伟大的代表”。对此，我有一些不同的见解：文学艺术是一种特殊的社会意识形态，它必然是社会存在的反映。但是，我们决不能把反映现实的文学都说成是现实主义文学，把“现实主义”的外延无限扩展。事实上，作家运用的创作方法多种多样，因人而异，这和作家的特殊气质和性格特点密切相关。狄更斯的创作，想像力极为丰富，充满诗的激情，他着意渲染自己的道德理想，处处突破自然的忠实临摹，借用一句歌德的话：它比自然高了一层。这和萨克雷、特洛罗普等坚持的客观。冷静、严格写实的方法有显著的区别。 奥利弗——一个孤儿，他被投入了一个充满贫困与犯罪的世界，忍饥挨饿，挨打挨骂，从来没有人关心他。邪恶的费金，残暴的比尔赛克斯，以及一大群窃贼强盗。他们把奥利弗训练成一个神偷手，然后利用他去骗取钱财。可是奥利弗不愿去干这些事情,费金就对他拳打脚踢，迫使奥利弗到
处流浪。幸运的是，他遇到了一群善良的人，对他无微不至的关怀，让奥利弗感到非常温暖。 当我想到一个九岁的孩子，在伦敦被迫加入罪恶累累、堕落不堪的小偷、强盗、亡命之徒的行列之中。但他并未放弃，在他的心中仍向往着一个美好的生活，多次在好心人的帮助下，终于过上了自己所想往的生活。我真觉得奥利弗真勇敢、真坚强。而我们生活在蜜罐里，福窝里，却总是抱怨，总是不满足。但我们可曾想过，在世界上，还有许多孩子，正承受着巨大的痛苦；正和饥饿、寒冷、疾病作战；正面对着失去亲人，飘泊流浪的生活。他们需要别人的帮助，但更需要不屈的精神、勇敢的精神。 我要学习奥利弗的坚强不屈的精神、勇敢的精神。 我们也要学习善良的布朗洛，是他伸出了援助之手帮助奥利弗的。 看了《雾都孤儿》，让我受益非浅，让我懂得了社会的冷酷与人的性格的残暴。我们 要行动，帮助他们，挽救他们。 我向大家推荐的书是这《雾都孤儿》，这里面突出了一个典型人物，可怜、凄惨、悲苦的南希，她生活在一个残忍的世界中，却挣扎着要忠实于她所爱的人。她为了帮助奥利弗，而背叛了她所爱的人，最后遭到了坏人的毒手……经过这一连串的事奥利弗却坚强不屈，勇于斗争，所以我向大家
BOOK REPORT_Oliver Twist Charles Dickens is one of the most famous novelists of the Victorian Age. When Charles Dickens was young, his father was put into prison.

On one occasion, he was taken in by a rich man—Mr. Brownlow. But unfortunately, he was framed and entrapped into the haunt of thieves again. But Oliver still believes that there are hopes in his life. Finally, Nancy, a kind-hearted woman pickpocket, rescued Oliver from dangers despite the threat of the thief-in-chief and told Brownlow that actually Oliver is his good friend’s son. Nancy was killed at the end of the story, but the police surround the haunt of thieves immediately and Oliver reunited with his family members.

《雾都孤儿英文读后感》 雾都孤儿英文读后感（一）： 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 Im talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals， oil that we usually mention。 Theyre 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。 Brownlows 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。 Brownlows 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。 Brownlows 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

雾都孤儿英文读后感 It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn't think she's beautiful. But she's smart. However, I didn't pay much attention to the plot. I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. Oliver Twist is written by Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers in the England. He was born in a poor family, but later he became famous and rich. The famous novel --A Tale of Two Cities is written by him, too. This novel shows us the cruelty and crime of London. Oliver Twist, the hero, is a poor orphan. He lived in a life filled with taunts. Nobody loved him. With visions of his future, he decided to go to London. He thought a new life was coming, but he was wrong, a group of thieves were waiting for him. The author created a group of bad men. 但她也是被那个善良的人所感动了，可见如果多一个善良人，也许可以多感化一个在贼窝里的一刻还有一点点人性的心。但是，我也为南西所悲哀，她最后的结局十分惨，她被打死了，而打死她的人，确是她一直不舍得离开的人。南西曾有许多机会逃离那个肮脏的世界，但她放弃了，就是舍不得最后那个打死她的人。 When I read the novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school. Fagin, an old man, with a horribly ugly face and red hair, was the head of those thieves. He tried to make Oliver be a criminal. Monks, Oliver’s brother, did bad things to hurt Oliver. He wanted to get the legacies left by his father alone. He paid Fagin to trap Oliver into a
