This report is written to Ms Millie of Class Four. Oliver Twist is written by Charles dickens. It is made up by 232 pages which are published by Guangming Daily Press. This masterpiece is the sixth edition since 2001. I chose it as the first reading novel this semester is just because one of my best friends said she was totally touched by plot. What’s more, Oliver Twist is the first English novel published in the United States.

　　Oliver Twist, our main character, was born into a life of poverty and misfortune since his mother’s death and his father’s unexplained absence.

　　After many roundabout ways, Oliver ran away from London and finally restored to a life of happiness and health. As soon as Oliver Twist arrived in London, he was cheated by a bang of thieves whose leader is Fagin. They set him up, but Oliver was proved innocent and was served in Mr. Brownlow’s where Oliver lived freely for some months. It’s a book that depicting the old society in justified shoes.

　　Dickens gives a truthful presentation of the sufferings of the poor and oppressed and make a bitter and complexed exposure of the terrible conditions, Charles Dickens makes him the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era at that time.

　　After reading this masterpiece, I’m deeply impressed that how an orphan can still remain kind-hearted after suffering that much, such as hunger, thirst, abuse and so forth.

　　Those charitable figures that Dickens created in the novel, such as Mrs. Maylie, are really what need in modern life. They should love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply, Goodness to human is what water to fish. So, my gracious peers, as the famous saying goes, “The fragrance always stays in hard that gives the rose, I sincerely urge that we can reach out our hands when someone is in need. I like the book as before, but frankly speaking, I was wondering some details should be more explicit. All in all, what I gain the most important is being kind and not giving up is the secret of surviving. I will pass on this novel to my gracious classmates since it deserves it.
