《雾都孤儿》读后感 Book Review of Oliver Twist

"Oliver Twist" is a realisticnovel of the British author Charles Dickens. It was published in 1838. This story based on the background of London, telling the tragic life experience and encounter of an orphan. Oliver grew up in an orphanage, experienced apprenticeship hard refugees. He

experienced many difficulties and bravely overcame them. No matter how hard the situation was, he still held good hope and kindness in his heart. Therefore, he got help from kind-hearted people who know his life experiece and got happiness. I am moved by this inspirational story and this brave, kind little boy. I think that no matter what happens to us, we can never lose hope, kindness and braveness, because these are the motivations that can support us to go on.

《雾都孤儿》是英国作家查尔斯狄更斯的一部现实主义小说。这本书出版于1838年。这个故事是以伦敦为北京,讲述一名孤儿的悲惨遭遇和身世。奥利弗从小在孤儿院长大,做过学徒和贫困的难民。他经历了许多困难并勇敢克服了它们。不管情况有多糟,他内心仍然充满希望和善良。因此,他从知道他的生活经历的善良人们那里获得帮助并得到了幸福。我被这个令人鼓舞的故事和这个勇敢善良的小男孩所打动。我认为不管我们发生了什么,我们都不能失去希望,善良和勇敢,因为这些是支撑我们前进的动力。
