The feelings after reading Oliver Twist Oliver Twist is based on the experience of its author Charles Dickens, who wrote many popular novels such as Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Bleak House and so on.And the book is mainly about the experience of an orphan named Oliver.Oliver’s mother dies just after his birth, so he has to spend his first nine years in a badly run home for young orphans and then is transferred to a workhouse for adults.After the other boys bully him into asking for more gruel at the end of a meal, the parish beadle, Mr.Bumble, offers five pounds to anyone who will take the boy away from the workhouse.Oliver narrowly escapes being apprenticed to a brutish chimney sweep and is eventually apprenticed to Mr.Sowerberry who is a undertaker.Oliver attacks his other apprentice because the guy makes disparaging comments about his mom, and he incurs the Sowerberrys’ wrath.Desperate, Oliver runs away and travels towards London.Oliver is starved and exhausted when he meets Jack Dawkins, who talks and dresses like a grown man though

he isn’t older than Oliver.Jack offers Oliver shelter in the London house of his benefactor, Fagin.It turns out that Fagin is a career criminal who trains orphan children to pick pockets for him.After a few days of training, Oliver is sent on a pickpocketing mission with two other boys.When he sees them swipe a handkerchief from an elderly gentleman, Oliver feels horrified and runs off.He is caught but narrowly escapes being convicted of the theft.Mr.Brownlow, whose handkerchief was stolen, takes the feverish Oliver to his home and nurses him back to health.Mr.Brownlow is struck by Oliver’s resemblance to a portrait of a young woman that hangs in his house.Oliver blossoms himself there, but two adults in Fagin’s gang, Bill Sikes and his lover Nancy, capture Oliver and return him to Fagin.Fagin sends Oliver to assist Sikes in a burglary.Oliver is shot by a servant of the house and is taken in by two women, Mrs.Maylie and her adopted niece Rose.They grow fond of Oliver and spend an idyllic summer with him in the countryside.But Fagin and a mysterious man named Monks are set to recapture him.Meanwhile, it is revealed that Oliver’s mother left behind a gold locket

when she died.Monks obtains and destroys it.When the Maylies come to London, Nancy meets secretly with Rose and informs her of Fagin’s designs, but a member of Fagin’s gang overhears the conversation.When word of Nancy’s disclosure reaches Sikes, he brutally murders Nancy and flees London.Pursued by his guilty conscience and an angry mob, he inadvertently hangs himself.With the Maylies’ help, Mr.Brownlow confronts Monks and wrings the truth about Oliver’s parentage from him.It is revealed that Monks is Oliver’s half brother.Their father, Mr.Leeford, was unhappily married to a wealthy woman and had an affair with Oliver’s mother Agnes Fleming.Mr.Brownlow forces him to sign over Oliver’s share to Oliver.Moreover, it is discovered that Rose is Agnes’ younger sister, hence Oliver’s aunt.Fagin is hung for his crimes.Finally, Mr.Brownlow adopts Oliver, and they retire to a blissful existence in the countryside with the Maylies.After reading the book Oliver Twist, I don’t think Oliver is a believable character.Although he is raised in corrupt surroundings, his purity and virtue are absolute.On the other hand, Oliver speaks in proper King’s English while

other pauper children use rough Cockney slang.Compared with Oliver, I appreciate the character Nancy more.She is immersed in the vices condemned by her society, but she also commits perhaps the most noble act when she sacrifices her own life in order to protect Oliver.Nancy’s moral complexity is unique among the major characters in Oliver Twist.The novel is full of characters who are all good and can barely comprehend evil, such as Oliver, Rose and Mr.Brownlow, and characters who are all evil and can barely comprehend good, such as Fagin, Sikes and Monks.Only Nancy comprehends and is capable of both good and evil.Her ultimate choice to do good at a great personal cost is a strong argument in favor of incorruptibility of basic goodness, no matter how many environmental obstacles it may face.Nancy’s love for Sikes exemplifies the moral ambiguity of her character.As she herself points out to Rose, devotion to a man can be “a comfort and a pride” under the right circumstances.But for Nancy,such devotion is “a new means of violence and suffering”—indeed, her relationship with Sikes leads her to criminal acts for his sake and eventually to her own demise.The

same behavior, in different circumstances, can have very different consequences and moral significance.In much of Oliver Twist, morality and nobility are black-and-white issues, but Nancy’s character suggests that the boundary between virtue and vice is not always clearly drawn.To be honest, Oliver Twist is worth reading.

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, 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 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.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 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.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.篇三：雾都孤儿英文读后感

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.

第四篇：雾都孤儿英文读后感

As an orphan, Oliver Twist went through much maltreatment.Fortunately, the little boy found his family and enjoyed family love.The story attaches much importance to family love and friendship.However, as a critical realist writer, not only does Dickens make a distinction between justice and evil, such as Oliver and his half-brother Monks, but he also exposes some problems of workhouse, child laborer and organized crime to the public, which deeply appalled me.

Recently, I read a book “Oliver Twist” written by Charles Dickens.I feel moved by the complex plot.Now I want to share it with you.Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse in 1830s.His mother was found on the street and died just after his birth.Oliver spent his first 9 years in a badly ruin home for orphans.And then he was luckily transferred to a workhouse for adults.The other boys forced him to ask for some more food after meals, which results the owner wants to sell Oliver at a low price, 5 dollars.One day, a boy speaks ill words about Oliver’s mother.He is so angry that he attacks the boy and he is punished.Desperate, he runs away at dawn and travels toward London.Outside London, Oliver starved and exhausted, meets Fagin.He offers Oliver shelter in the London house.In fact, Fagin is a cheat who often persuade orphan boy to pick pockets for him.After a few days of training, he fails in stealing a gentleman named Brownlow.But in return, the man takes Oliver to his home and takes cares of him.He treats him as like his son.Oliver feels so lucky and grateful.Unfortunately, Oliver is caught back to Fagin.After a long sad life, Oliver runs away and he is adopted by Rose.The Roses help Oliver find Brownlow.To identify Oliver’s identity, Brownlow helps him to find Mons, Oliver’s half brother.Actually, their father was unhappily married a wealthy woman and had an affair with Oliver’s mother.When he dies, he leaves Oliver some money.When everything comes to an end, Brownlow adopts Oliver, and they moved to the countryside and live a happy life.From the book , I can draw a conclusion “The god is fair.＂ We should be grateful to our lives.But in this busy society, we should avoid negative people, places and habits.We are living for not only ourselves but also others.We should be warm-hearted and everyone will be ready to help others for return.Just host on to one’s dream and try to realize it.Concentrate your energy, thought and capital upon your dream.“No one can cheat you out of your happiness but yourselves.“
