文章题目 | My opinion of Oliver Twist | ||||
Part1: the content and my view of the Oliver Twist Oliver Twist, written by the English famous author Dickens In1938, is a book, which depicts the true society of Brittan at that time. In the book the author uses London, a foggy city, as the background of the story and shows us the miserable life experience about the orphan Oliver Twist. Now, please follow me and enter the book to share the world of Oliver Twist. The first chapter: Oliver’s early life. Thanks to his mother’s escaping, when Oliver arrived in this hard world，it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes．中国最大的岛屿是At the same time, his mother leaves him forever just at her first sight. All these imply the miserable life in Oliver’s growing. And they also show us the hideous side of the man. But Oliver gives us all a surprise: he lives. Because no one looks after him, Oliver was sent to a special ‘baby farm’ nearby. There，he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day，without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. What’s worse, Mrs. Mann，the old woman who ‘looked after’ them was very evil. She takes majority of the money which should have provided children’s food into her pocket and cheats the beadle who takes charge of the children’s health. As a result, at the age of nine Oliver was a pale，thin child and short for his age．Then he is brought to the workhouse. But this is not a turn point of his unlucky life, but it’s lasting. From the food, we can judge this. For example, when Oliver is chose to ask for more food, the responses of the grown-ups are very unusual. The master: he turned very pale. He looked at the little boy in front of him with amazement．‘What？’ he asked at last，2017注会成绩查询入口 in a faint voice．The master hit him with the serving spoon，the n seized Oliver’s arms and shouted for the beadle. The beadle: The beadle came quickly，heard the dreadful news，and immediately ran to tell the board. The boarder: ‘He asked for more？’ Mr. Lambkins，the fattest board member， asked in horror．‘Bumble - is this really true？”That boy will be hanged！" said the man who earlier had called O liver a fool． ‘You see if I am not right．’ Finally, just because of asking for the necessary food, O liver was led away to be locked up，and a reward was offered to anybody who would take him away and use him for work. Once I read here, I will be impressed by the author’s wisdom. The using of satire reveals authority’s indifference to the poor children. The basic need is a ridiculous desire which can not reach. 本科专业分类目录The second chapter: Oliver’s first job Then, Oliver suffers a lot until he was sent to work for the undertaker and start to his second life journey. Thought he has his first job in his life. But he can not change his fate. There, nobody regard him as a person except Mr. Rowanberry. His wife gives Oliver the meat that the dog left. Charlotte, she cares nothing about Oliver. Especially Mister Noah Claypole, Noah was a charity－boy， but not a workhouse orphan； He at least knew who his parents were. But for a long time all the local shop－boys had insulted him because he wore the uniform of a charity-boy． Now fortune had brought him a creature in an even lower position in society than himself．Noah intended to repay to Oliver every insult he had ever received，and to make the his life a misery. The third chapter: O liver goes to London福建公务员遴选 the situation is the same to the past: He was treated badly by most of the people around him．Noah was jealous because O liver went out to burials while he was left back in the shop，so he treated him even worse than before．Charlotte treated him badly because Noah did. And Mrs. Sowerberry was his enemy because Mr. Sowerberry was supposed to be his friend. Oliver was a strong will boy, not a coward boy. His mother is his great spirit comfort. He can stand all body suffers, but he can not bear someone to insult his mom. So, when Noah offenses his mother, he can not stand him any more and beats him violently. This behavior brings him another pain. This pain leads him to go to another unfamiliar city-London. In fact, whether or not, there is no doubt that Oliver can’t live in this environment for a long time. The forth chapter: Oliver in London. In London, Oliver meets Dodger and Fagin, a gang. There Oliver is regarded a future “Dodger”. He is smart and swift. But Oliver does not know their plan at all. On the contrary, he is very grateful to Fagin. He thinks he is a kind person. He does not ask for any reward but provided him food and shelter and teacher him some interesting games. Until he follows Dodger to the street, and witnesses he stole a gentle’s hand kerchief. Finally, Oliver is caught. From this, we can see that Oliver join in the gang, but thanks to his innocent, he never becomes a member of them truly. The fifth chapter: O liver's life changes. It is more a lucky thing to Oliver than an unfortunate to him being caught. Maybe meeting the Brown low is a warmest thing to him. Brown low is an important role of the book. Without him, we do not know what a person he will be. And he makes us believe there are love and kind people in the world. The sixth chapter: O liver is found again They were happy days, while O liver was getting better. He played cards with Mrs. Bed win and listened to stories about her family. The days were all so quiet and relaxing, after the hardships and poverty of his previous life. Mr. Brown low bought him a new suit and new shoes, and O liver's dirty old clothe s were given away. How happy an ending is! But we all know that this is not an ending. So, some time later, Oliver s back to the gang dramatically. The seventh chapter: The robbery Oliver is forced to join a robbery and hurt. The eight chapters: After the robbery In this part, we can see that Oliver is saved and his birth have some new clue and the gang is planning to kill the boy. The ninth to tenth chapters: O liver starts another life In the countryside, it is the second sweet life for him. From this chapter, Oliver’s birth is clearer and clearer. The eleventh to twelfth chapters: Nancy is the soul character in these two chapters. And in my opinion, she is also a soul character I the book. Thought in the beginning, she is a member of the gang. But she is not an evil woman. On the contrary, she is very kind inward. She knows her behavior will bring her to death. But she also chooses to make it. Honestly speaking, I admit she is a great woman. The thirteenth chapter: The end of the gang 上海教育考试网 The end of the gang is a pleasure thing. This story starts to go to the bright side. There is a saying: you must reap what you have sown. The last chapter: The end of the mystery This part reveals the mystery of the Oliver’s birth; we readers get a happy ending. Part2: about Nancy Maybe many people think that Nancy is a hateful woman. If there is not Nancy, Oliver maybe chased by Fagin and Monks. But she indeed does many things that are harmful for Oliver. We know that at first, Oliver was escaped from Fagin by Mr. Brownlow; he had lived a happy life with Mr. Brown. But Nancy breaks his peaceful life. And she makes him be caught again. From the ending, we know that Nancy can choose to go on her life, but she doesn’t. She can not bear the spirit suffers and decides to pay her life for her fault. So, Nancy is worth being remembered. Part3: The information about the author: Charles John Huff am Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic who is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period and the creator of some of the world's most memorable fictional characters. During his lifetime Dickens's works enjoyed unprecedented popularity and fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was fully recognized by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to enjoy an enduring popularity among the general reading public. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens left school to work in a factory after his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Though he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. He edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. On 8 June 1870, Dickens suffered another stroke at his home, after a full day's work on Edwin Droid. He never regained consciousness, and the next day, on 9 June, five years to the day after the Staple Hurst rail crash, he died at Gad's Hill Place. Contrary to his wish to be buried at Rochester Cathedral "in an inexpensive, unostentatious, and strictly private manner," he was laid to rest in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. A printed epitaph circulated at the time of the funeral reads: "To the Memory of Charles Dickens (England's most popular author) who died at his residence, Hingham, near Rochester, Kent, 9 June 1870, aged 58 years. He was a sympathizer with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed; and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world.” His last words were: "On the ground", in response to his daughter Georgina's request that he lie down. On Sunday, 19 June 1870, five days after Dickens was buried in the Abbey, Dean Arthur Penrhyn Stanley delivered a memorial elegy, lauding "the genial and loving humorist whom we now mourn", for showing by his own example "that even in dealing with the darkest scenes and the most degraded characters, genius could still be clean, and mirth could be innocent." Pointing to the fresh flowers that adorned the novelist's grave, Stanley assured those present that "the spot would thenceforth be a sacred one with both the New World and the Old, as that of the representative of literature, not of this island only, but of all who speak our English tongue. Museums and festivals celebrating Dickens's life and works exist in many places with which Dickens was associated, such as the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum in Portsmouth, the house in which he was born. The original manuscripts of many of his novels, as well as printers' proofs, first editions, and illustrations from the collection of Dickens's friend John Forster are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Dickens's will stipulate that no memorial be erected in his honor. The only life-size bronze statue of Dickens, cast in 1891 by Francis Edwin Elwell, can be found in Clark Park in the Spruce Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia. Stamp in "The Centenary Edition of The Works of Charles Dickens in 36 Volumes." Dickens was commemorated on the Series E £10 note issued by the Bank of England that was in circulation in the UK between 1992 and 2003. His portrait appeared on the reverse of the note accompanied by a scene from The Pickwick Papers. A theme park, Dickens World, standing in part on the site of the former naval dockyard where Dickens's father once worked in the Navy Pay Office, opened in Chatham in 2007, and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens in 2012, the Museum of London held the UK's first major exhibition on the author in 40 years. In the UK survey entitled The Big Read carried out by the BBC in 2003, five of Dickens's books were named in the Top 100. Museums and festivals celebrating Dickens's life and works exist in many places with which Dickens was associated, such as the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum in Portsmouth, the house in which he was born. | |||||
