-- Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
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.

"Oliver Twist" is a very famous novel, the writer Charles Dickens, is a very well-known British writer.
The novel's protagonist is an orphan named Oliver, and his childhood was spent in the courtyard of the poor. Later, he was sent to a Coffin shop years as apprentices. Wife because he could not endure the oppression, he fled to London. On the road, he encountered a nicknameClever and resourceful person who cheated him into the Nest of thieves , in the theft of two, he encountered a good man, his upbringing at home, but was arrested again at the back. Finally, as a result of Nancy better, told them occasionally hear a secret, said Oliver's half-brother to property, to kill him, was arrested Nest of thieves , but out of sympathy for Oliver let go of its older brother. Oliver disaster finally come to an end, he was the first time he stole the old gentleman who had closed for Yoshiko.

The whole adventure novel twists and turns, people not only for Oliver's background, alas, for the bad guys that anger was touched by the kind-hearted people for Oliver final happy happy life. And my favorite character is plunged into distress in the two Oliver did not care about his robbery, but have great sympathy for him and helped two of his people. Because of their kind, Oliver was saved, but also because they are good only to make the world less of a suffering child, the future a little thieves, more than a good man. If the world wants to like them, I think the world would not have the suffering, there will not be so many orphans. As a song by singing: "The only point everyone sacrificed love, the world will become a better human." And I am also touched by one of Nancy, she is a member of Nest of thieves , but she has not been Black Nest of thieves the heart, she knew that repentance and know to have mercy on an orphan. But she is that good people were moved, and we can see that one more kind-hearted people, may be more than a Nest of thieves years probation moment there are a little bit of humanity's heart. However, I am also sad for the West, she end up very badly, she was killed, and killed her, is she has been willing to leave those who do not. Nancy had many opportunities to escape from the dirty world, but she gave up, that is reluctant to the last person who killed her.
Oliver, Nancy, kind-hearted gentleman and a young lady, as well as in the Nest of thieves "Oliver Twist" in all, have made me aware of many things. "Oliver Twist", a good book.
