Book Report of “Emma”
Jane Austen is one of my favoritenovelists.Herwork, "Prideand Prejudice" I have read a lot oftimes, Ireallylike this book and every roles in this novel, so dose “Emma”. Think aboutJane Austen, a woman who never married all around her life, full of mystery. Sheis a famous Britishfemalenovelist, her workfocused onthe squireofmarriage andfamilylifeof womeninfemale-specificnuancedobservation andlively wittexttruepicture of theworld aroundherlittle world.
Her fatherservedinthe localrectoryfor forty years, full of knowledge. And her mother came fromrelativelywealthy families, also has certain culturalaccomplishment. Although Austin did not enter formal school, but she is in good condition and reading environment of the family, gave her self-conditions, she cultivated her interest in writing. She began to write something at the age of thirteen, just a girl of thirteen-year-old enough to show her talent in terms of language. And it is no wonder how she can write out great works like these.
Throughout her life, there is not too much works, but famous enough. "Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's masterpiece. And "Emma" is one of the most influential 19th-century classicalnovels, I read it for several times andit impressed me deeply too many times. The two movies also have beenadapted intomovies and TV show many times
“Emma”, wrote by Jane Austen,is a comic novel about the perils of misconstrued romance.The novel was first published in December 1815.As in her other novels,Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners' among her characters.
Let’s tell about the story.

So at the end of the story, her and her friend both got their happiness.
The most classical sentences in “Emma” is “That is the case with us all, papa. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”May be everyone who has read this book would remember the sentence deeply, But a
famous dialogue in “Emma”which touched me deeply is the dialogue between Emma and her best friend Harriet. ”’That you are not yet married, you are so charming.’‘I assure you, I have very little intention of marrying at all.’‘It is so very odd to hear a woman talk like that.’‘I have fortune,I am occupied, and without love, why would I want to change my situation? But, ah, do not worry, Harriet, for I shall be a rich old maid. And it is only poor old maids who invite the world’”. From it, it tells to every girl that you should not to worry about marrying with someone, you should try your best to do yourself, make yourself a better life, and also give us an answer why some girl do not have married at the suitable age. It teaches me a correct sense of love, love maybe is an important part in life, but is not everything in your life, the most
important is you, read more books, do exercise, go for a walk, out to see the world, keep a kind-hearted, keep optimistic, be happy, be strong, and you will find ,the world will be better, and nothing can beat you, and you can get whatever you dream if you try your hard.
Maybe the book's influence between readers not as great as "Pride and Prejudice", but it Generating a moving force, it’s about the true marriage. Her in a meticulous, however, she is enthusiasticand

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.

After reading "A tale of two cities"
"A tale of two cities" is one of
Dickens's most important representative works.The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the

narrates,foreshadowing,upholstery and so many techniques,causes the structure
integrity and strictness,the plot
winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature,it displayed the remarkable artistic skill.the style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and
melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.
