摘■■要
■■《雾都孤儿》是一部十分著名的小说，作者狄更斯，是英国的一位非常著名的作家。
这部小说的主人公是一个叫奥里弗的孤儿，他的童年是在济贫院里度过的。后来，他被送到一个棺材铺里当学徒。因不堪忍受老板娘的压迫，他向伦敦逃去。路上，他遇上了一个外号机灵鬼的人，把他骗进了贼窝，在两次偷盗中，他都遇到了好人，把他留在家里抚养，但又一次次的被抓回去。终于，由于南西变好，告诉了他们偶然听到的一个秘密，说奥里弗的同父异母哥哥为了财产，要杀他，于是逮捕了贼窝的人，但出于同情，奥里弗放过了它的哥哥。奥里弗的灾难终于结束了，他被他第一次偷的那位老绅士收为义子。奥里弗才知道，他偷的两次，被偷的竟然是他父亲的好友和他的亲姨妈。
整部小说曲折惊险，让人不仅为奥里弗的身世叹息，为坏人说愤怒，被善良人所感动，为奥里弗最后的幸福生活而高兴。而我最喜爱的人物，是在两次奥里弗陷入危难时，没有计较他偷了东西，而是十分同情他，并帮助了他的两个人。因为他们的善良，奥里弗才得救，也因为他们的善良，才使世界上少了一个受苦的孩子，是将来少了一个贼，多了一个好人。如果世间的人都想他们一样的话，我想，世上便不会有受苦的人，不会有那么多的孤儿。正如一首歌中所唱的：“只有人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间。”而我也为其中的南西所感动，她是贼窝得一分子，但她没有被贼窝染黑了心，她知道悔改，知道去怜悯一个孤儿。但她也是被那个善良的人所感动了，可见如果多一个善良人，也许可以多感化一个在贼窝里的一刻还有一点点人性的心。但是，我也为南西所悲哀，她最后的结局十分惨，她被打死了，而打死她的人，确是她一直不舍得离开的人。南西曾有许多机会逃离那个肮脏的世界，但她放弃了，就是舍不得最后那个打死她的人。

Ⅰ■Kind hearts of Oliver Twist
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
ABSTRACT

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.
1.1.1■How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind?
he 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.
Ⅱ■To my disappointment,
2.1 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
ABSTRACT

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 good.

Avatar is a movie about a future world. Please analyze this movie from critical perspectives.
The shotcomings of the Avatar
Although Avatar is a very good movie It still has many shotage . Avatar’s political shortcomings
Avatar challenged U.S. imperialism in a way that no other blockbuster film has! It was more than a little ironic to watch National Guard advertisements before a film that ended with the audience cheering on a struggle of an indigenous people against U.S. Imperialism.
James Cameron could have made the invaders some generic country, but he chose to politicize it in a contemporary way, forcing us to think of current justifications for U.S. wars and occupations. So I certainly don't think we should dismiss Avatar as "so much unreconstructed Orientalism," in the words of Nagesh Rao ("Anti-imperialism in 3-D").
Nevertheless, we should not be uncritical of its political shortcomings--centrally, the "going native" tradition that Rao (and other reviewers) discuss. In Rao's words, "the fantasy of 'going native' often ends with the white man not only assimilating into the 'native' culture, but emerging as their leader in their quest for
salvation or liberation from some oppressive force or circumstance."
I would have had no problem with Jake merely joining the resistance. But why did Cameron write the plot (in a "going native" tradition) so that Sully replaces the fallen chief to become the leader? The natives literally bow down before him. He becomes their spiritual leader while barely believing the religion himself.
He also becomes their political leader. He gives speeches to the Na'vi, suggesting that they should go to other clans to ask for assistance, after he becomes the person to fly/conquer a larger-than-life bird that nobody else has.
This situation is similar to the idea of an American GIs siding with the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War and joining the resistance. After a few months, NLF leader Ho Chi Minh dies, this soldier replaces Ho Chi Minh as the leader of the NLF, giving speeches in English to reunite and inspire an otherwise fractured and disoriented resistance.
While American soldiers certainly did openly identify with the Vietnamese resistance, the idea of one becoming the leader of this struggle is patently absurd. Cameron decided to write the film in a way so that this would happen, in an unfortunate tradition.
The film could just as easily been written so that Americans
were participants in the struggle of the Na'vi, with critical insight into U.S. operations, without someone replacing the chief to become the new leader. Why did Cameron write the movie this way? It's a problem, and while the film is great politically on many, many levels, this central plot line falls within the tradition Rao identifies, albeit within the context of movie that is otherwise politically very good.
However, we cannot deny this major problem with the film. And, frankly, we have to sympathize with people who have seen one too many "white savior" movies. Otherwise, we cede the ground to people like David Brooks, who has written a review about Avatar entitled "The Messiah Complex" to point out this flaw in an attempt to dismiss the movie and by association anti-imperialism in general.

Why can we say the English Patient is a romantic movie? This is one of the most romantic films ever made and is filled with the joy and peril of appreciate and war. It shows that while war may produce logistical lines that can not be crossed, the heart has no boundaries. Anyone who has ever experienced a esteem of such emotional intensity and physical longing that worship and need became one will understand the esteem affair of Katherine and Almasy.
Cinematographer John Seale has given this film a grace and beauty seldom seen on film. A haunting net rotund of mystery and romance from Gabriel Yard accompany scenes never to be forgotten, and will not be described here in case you have not yet seen them. Director Anthony Minghella explores the mystery of the desert, and the heart, which according to the “The Histories” by Herodotus, a book the English patient clings to, is an organ of fire.
If there is but one ounce of romance in your soul, you will cherish “The English Patient.” It is a well charted and romantic procedure of the human heart, as wide and treacherous as the unending desert. This will be one of your accepted films once you examine it. I promise.
Haunting and beautiful, Ondaatje's award-winning novel tells
the story of four war-damaged souls living in an Italian monastery at the end of WWII, and the love story between two of them, the nurse Hana, and the severely burned unnamed English patient. Unforgettably unique.
The English Patient can rightly be compared to the films of David Lean, whose sweeping epics such as 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Bridge on the River Kwai must have inspired the director Anthony Minghella. The film is beautifully photographed, and like 'Lawrence', is set in Northern Africa, but during the second world war. The story is complex, but it boils down to a forbidden love between an opinionated and often difficult archeologist played by Ralph Fiennes and a married woman played by Kristin Scott Thomas.
The film makes clear that true love and passion, even with dreaded consequences, can make life worth living, or worth dying for. If you're a romantic at heart, and can appreciate a film without the standard happy endings and simple moral codes, you may find that 'The English Patient' speaks directly to you.
