故事讲述的是一个名叫奥力弗.退斯特的弃婴在孤儿院里被悲惨地教育了9年，然后又被送到棺材老板那儿当学徒。由于难以忍受的饥饿和暴力以及侮辱，他逃亡伦敦。又不幸误入贼窝，期间被一位善良的的老绅士班布尔先生收留。但又被那一伙贼绑回贼窝。最后善良的女扒手南希为了营救奥利佛，不顾贼头的监视和威胁，向班布尔报信，说奥利佛就是他找寻已久的外孙儿。南希被贼窝头目杀害，警察随即围剿了贼窝。奥利佛终于得以与亲人团聚。
　　在书中并不起眼，但是不能没有的人就是女扒手南希，她的形象是世上母亲的形象，看到可怜的而有善良的小奥力弗，她不顾背叛他所爱的人塞克斯，也不顾自己冒着被抓，被处以绞刑的危险，为小奥力弗逃出悲惨的生活，最后掺死于塞克斯的拳头之下。没有太多对于南希的描写，但是她的内心世界读者能略微感受得出来：无助，愤怒，矛盾。她与习艺所的曼太太形成了鲜明的对比。可憎的曼太太贪婪地剥削着那些可怜的小生命，却从来不为自己的行为感到可耻，也许我们也不能太多地责怪于曼太太，生活的残酷造就了人们的残酷。只是在一些勇敢的人心中残存的那一点善良给予了我们那么一点感叹，但是最后的命运仍逃脱不了悲惨的死去。
　　这本书给我的第二个很深的感触就是主人公小奥力弗的勇敢的精神，虽然在黑暗的习艺所里饱尝了生活的艰辛，但是并没有给这么一个美好的心灵蒙上灰尘。由于饥饿他向干事提出需要一碗稀粥时，被那些干事认为“这2孩子将来一定会被绞死。在当学徒的时候他面对人们对于他母亲的羞辱，奋起反抗。他啊也许是由于初生牛犊不怕虎，竭尽全力反抗着。后来逃亡到伦敦后，纯洁的心灵让人们感到可笑。其中有一段话让我记忆尤深“那些都是老先生的，在我还热病快死掉的时候，是那位好心的先生把我带到他家里去，照看我养好了病。哦，求求你们把这些都送回去吧，把书和钱还给他。你们要我一辈子待在这儿都可以，我只求你们把这些东西送回去，不然他们应定会以为我逃跑了的，你们可怜可怜我，把书和钱送回去吧”这是小奥力弗被抓后说的话。我不禁被他维护尊严的行为所打动。一个人活着就要有尊严。
　　合上这本书我没有太多的感慨，只有一个：人活着只要不断地向这梦想千金不需要顾虑太多，不要向命运低头，命运永远在我们手中。

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.

读《雾都孤儿》有感
《雾都孤儿》对于我来说并不只是一本出色的名著，狄更斯用他个性化的语言感化了我这样一个以没时间作为借口而几乎没有好好看过多少课外书的人，第一次，在大学的图书馆里我感受到了阅读带来真正的快乐，我几乎沉浸在伟大作者所描述的那个时代了，虽然充满黑暗和无奈，虽然无数次随着文字在脑海中勾勒的画面而痛苦和难受，但总有一种心灵被震撼的感觉。
当多少人手捧手机看小说时，还是有那么一部分人更愿意静静的在某个不起眼的地方读着那属于他/她个人的世界，没有为赶速度而狼吞虎咽，可以为一句话或一段文字而感动很久，可以在字里行间来来回回无数次，可以傻傻的为主人公悲惨的命运流泪，甚至还可以于书香之间将自己穿越，和主人公呼吸同样的空气，无论清新或浑浊，仿佛自己是和他们紧紧相连的另一个主角。这时候文字永远显得那么有力度。
“德行看到可脏袜子立即别过头去，可是邪恶只要用缎带和艳丽的服饰装潢起来，像已婚妇女那样换个姓氏，就变成可罗曼蒂克。南茜对那个暴徒的痴情似乎不合情理，但世上一些麻木不仁、全无心肝的人恐怕确实是彻头彻尾不可救药的坏蛋，赛克斯那样的人是有的。”这是作者在文章伊始的一段描述，没有华丽的辞藻但却让我印象深刻，我带着好奇和渴望去探索南茜和塞克斯到底是怎样的人，去阅读他们的人生。在南茜生命终结的那一刻，作者是用这样一段话收笔的：“没有必要争论那姑娘的行为和性格是否合乎情理，反正这是真实的。从这个可怜虫第一次出场到她把血淋淋的脑袋偎在那强盗怀里为止，这是上帝留在这种堕落和不幸的人胸臆中的真情实感，这是还残存在那里的一线希望，是杂草蔓生的井底的最后一滴清水。”在故事算以圆满结局时，作者是抱着一颗怜悯的心看那个世界的，他告诉我们：“在那些阳光照不到的阴暗角落里，费金、赛克斯固然是十恶不赦的坏蛋，但像南茜、恰利•贝茨这样的男女青少年之所以会走上犯罪的道路，并非由于什么与生俱来的劣根性，而是因为当他们面临饿死与做贼的抉择时，没有人向他们伸出援助之手。”他给我们展现的不是一个充满邪恶的社会，而是提醒我们即使现实很残酷我们都应该抱以一颗纯洁的心去看待周围的一切。当生活不断给小奥利弗打击时，他却始终保持那颗善良的心去面对，他参透了生活的真谛——对人宽恕、相亲相爱、至诚感谢卫护并保全了他们的上帝。他们真正是幸福的，如果没有强烈的爱，没有仁爱之心，如果对以慈悲为信条、以博爱一切生灵为其伟大特性的上帝不知感恩，决不可能得到真正的幸福。
“每当有人死去的时候，总有少数活着的人会这样想:多少事情被忽略了，多少事情还没来得及做，多少事情给遗忘了，多少事情已无法弥补--可见，平时在如何对待周围的人方面必须十分用心！没有什么比悔之莫及更令人恼悔的了。”简简单单的一段话，却将我在面临失去亲人时的那种无法言表的心情淋漓尽致地描述出来了，我们总在失去后惋惜和自责。
以为书本教会我们的仅仅只是学术上的东西，但是《雾都孤儿》确确实实告诉我太多，精炼的文字吸引我的眼球，现实的思想震撼我的灵魂，我和小奥利弗共同生存的那些日子学会了很多很多，亲情、爱情、友情在读完他们的人生之后我似乎有了更成熟的理解。我终于有所顿悟，有时候读书是可以不带目的的，就像这样，沉浸在另一个世界里，用心去感受他们的喜怒哀乐。

读《雾都孤儿》有感：人间并不如想像的那么简单，这个世界不仅有幸福和富贵，还有许多无助的孤儿想主人公奥利弗
退斯特一样，都有着悲惨的遭遇，真希望坏人在看到这本书后能重新做人，改过自新。和我们的生活一比，就会发现我们是多么的幸福，在平时，我们总拿自己和比自己家还要富裕的人比，却从不看看，和这些小朋友们比起来，我们要比他们幸福一百倍，一千倍，甚至一万倍，我们在温暖的大家庭里欢快地做着游戏，过着丰衣足食的生活，而那些家来穷得一贫如洗的孩子们，则是缺衣少食.
