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. To
my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness
eventually conquered devil 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,
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. 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 dont think goodness is omnipotent, yet I
do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily
than
those
who
are
evil-minded.
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.
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
peoples
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. Francis Bacon said in his 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.


That
is to
say
a
person
without
goodness
is
destined
to
lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those
vermin-to-be
to
learn
from
the
kind
Oliver
and
regain
the
nature of goodness.


篇二：



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
