Courage

This vocation, I have seen many movies . What impressed me most is the courage. The movie tells us something about four law enforcement officers and their family. Their stories are true and moved, warmth and beautiful. Every family has a skeleton in the closet. For instance, in the movie, the stiff relationship between father and son, economic pressure of unemployed family. Four men,they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering.

From the film, I know the importance of father to children. Fatherlessness brings deep and devastation in child's life. Prisons are full of men and women who lived recklessly after being abandoned by their fathers, wounded by the men who should have loved them the most. Many father follow the same pattern of irresponsibility that their fathers did. While so many mothers have sacrificed to help their children survive. So,a child desperately needs a daddy. There's no way around this fact.

Therefore, every father should be courageously step up and do whatever it takes to be involved in the lives of his children.But more than just being there or providing for them, he's to walk with them through their lives and be a visual representation of the character of God, their father in heaven. A father should love his children and seek to win their hearts. He

should protect them, discipline them and teach them about God.He should model how to walk with integrity and treat others with respect and should call out his children to become responsible men and women who live their lives for what matters in eternity.

Although some father will mock it or ignore it,I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God for the position of influence he has given you. You can't fall asleep at the wheel only to wake up one day and realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value but the souls of your children do.

Father can not live for themselves and waste the opportunity to leave a godly legacy for the next generation.But there are some men who, regardless of the mistakes we've made in the past, regardless of what our fathers did not do for us, will give the strength of our arms and the rest of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our children to do the same, and, whenever possible, to love and mentor others who have no father in their lives but who desperately need help and direction. That is father. That is courageous.

The Auther ：

family. When he was only 12, Dickens’father could not pay his bills,then he was sent to prison. Dickens’ mother and brothers were forced to work hard at different jobs in order to pay off the debts.

The content ：

Oliver Twist is an abused orphan with nothing to hope for in the capitalism society. And yet, despite all the bad things that happen to him, he does keep

on loving and trusting, eventually endearing himself to everyone he meets, as well as to the readers.

To begin with, in the orphanage, it is not strange of starving to death

for the little children just as Oliver. However, to Oliver’s brightness and endurence, god blesses him, too many things are come over by himself and his kind-hearted friends. Because Oliver can’t tolerant the maltreated life any more.The orphanage boss, the undertaker of coffins, never treat him as friendly as a boss to a employe. Soon later, a great choice is made by himself, escaping, indeed, it’s the best and the only way for him. Occasionally, he escaped to London, but a new bitter experience come.

Next, though he managed to escape to London, unfortunately, due to his

loving and trusting, he was taken in to a bandits’den. The chief of robbers trained him as a thief to help they by all manner and means. One time, he was taken on a street to help steal a man’s handkerchief, then he was arrested even he did not do anything. After the enchanting sight in spring time, he was helped by Mr. Brownlow. The chief Fagin did not give up the evil idea, he grasped Oliver back again, well-known to us, the dangers were one by one.

Finally, the most striking event was that there existed a secret about

the poor Oliver, it was complex that later he was always being in danger. His family which was original in London too, so London was not only strange but also familiar to him. In London, it’s the development of story, it saw the orphan how to cope with so many bad things and his family secret.

Fagin , Bill and Monks wanted to let Oliver steal and crime by any means. Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Brownlow, Miss Maylie and Miss Rose, the offenders’ tricks are broken at the end. It’s a war between justice and criminal. And we know Monks was Oliver’s elder brother, but half--brother. Boththeir father and mothers were dead. Monks attemptted to take possession of the legacy bequest of his father. Actually, the inheritance said all that money belongs to Oliver. That is to say, Monks tried to be a robber, to hurt his brother. The same to say, Oliver was not poor , but to be very wealthy. For me, I can’t imagine how happy I was. Occasionally, Oliver came to London, then knew his aunt Miss Rose and his father’s good friend Mr.Brownlow by chance. Be a little boy, a orphan, Oliver insist on believing, loving and smiling to life, brave and never give up. To some extent, novelist believe that good people, good luck. One could not be too careful in a new neighbourhood. Not all men are good. We see Nancy ha helped him as well, she was virtuous. Except for Oliver, we should learn to fight for ourselves in our lives! Because we meet troubles at every minute, changes are so common to us, there is no choice but to keep fighting and going.

Read through this novel, I realize that no matter what a society we

are in, good characters are existing. One good turn deserves another.
