　　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.

　　Sense and sensibility is a novel written by Jane Austen that was first published in 1811. when talking about Jane Austen, I can say confidently that I have a good knowledge to her. She (16 December 1775-18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature, her realism and biting social commentary cementing her historical importance among scholars and critics. In her short and glorious life, she wrote about dozens of famous novels, such as sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice, Mansfield park, Emma and so on. When I was a high school student, I had once read the Chinese version of pride and prejudice, through this novel, I have a preliminary understanding of Jane Austen’s vision of love, and realize the life of British girl in that period, but not deep, while, I am really engaged in the style of Jane Austen’s novel, and yearn for a deep understanding of her novel, the era she lived, so when the teacher asked us to read a English novel, I chose sense and sensibility written by Jane Austen.

　　The story in this book concerns two sister, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (Elinor represents “sense” and Marianne is “sensibility”). Along with their mother and young sister, they were evict from their residence Norland Park after the death of their father, they moved to a country cottage offered by a generous relative with on other choice.

　　Before they moved out of their former residence, Elinor fell in love with the gentleman Edward Ferrars who was her sister-in-law’s brother, unfortunately, she was unware of the engagement between Edward and Lucy, after hearing that bad news, instead of anger,despair , she showed her calm and sense, to Edward, she expressed her understanding and belief. Actually, Elinor was a virtuous girl, sense is a kind of inner character of her, she was generous, gentle, calm and polite to all the people around her, including the people who hurted her, such as Lucy. Concerning love, Elinor also zealous in the affair between Edward and her, because of her belief, tolerance and sense, she finally won a happy end, and got married with her lover Edward.

　　Marianne also was a virtuous, with passion and fansaty, she always dreamed one day that she can marry a handsome gentle and rich man. After their move, Marianne met Willoughby, a dashing young man who leaded her into undisciplined behaviour, so that she ignored the faithful (but a lot older) gentleman Colonel Brandon. Unfortunately, Willoughby was a greedy and unchaste man who finally discarded Marianne then married a rich lady. Marianne was inconsolable, and nearly died, during this time, Colonel Brandon accompanied with her, and faced and conquered every difficulty together. She was eventually moved by Colonel Brandon, and finally realized the he was the person that she can entrust lifelong.

　　Compared with Elinor, Marianne’s suffering, not only brings agony to herself, but also the people who around and care about her. The reason underlies this consequence is the sensibility exits in Marianne’s inner character. Therefore , we can see transparently that sense is a very important principle in our daily life.

　　In the real life, abundant emotion should be involved, while it is not equal to acting impetuously, when necessary, our thoughts and emotions should be rational constrained by sense. In the novelist ---Jane Austen’s mind, dealing with a matter cautiously and heart impulse should be well balanced. She respects the view that money can buy elegant life, on the contrary, she pays more attention to interpersonal relationships. In one word, sense is more important than sensibility for Jane herself.

　　As for us, just as mentioned before, sense should be regarded as a kind of life principle, a habits for consideration.

　　The road of life is tough, we’ll come across a mass of difficulties when we communicate with our colleagues, friends, also when we dealing with jobs. Facing those puzzles, without the sense, lose temper becomes potluck. This actually do not focus on solving the problems, what’s more, it makes them more complex.

　　In consequence, refer to the friendship, teammates relationship, and the other complicated polytropic relations, we can think about more rational way to conduct them, it is definitely favorable for us to conquer the problem.
