　　after reading this masterpiece, i’m deeply impressed that how an orphan can still remain kind-hearted after suffering that much, such as hunger, thirst, abuse and so forth.

　　those charitable figures that dickens created in the novel, such as mrs. maylie, are really what need in modern life. they should love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply, goodness to human is what water to fish. so, my gracious peers, as the famous saying goes, “the fragrance always stays in hard that gives the rose, i sincerely urge that we can reach out our hands when someone is in need. i like the book as before, but frankly speaking, i was wondering some details should be more explicit. all in all, what i gain the most important is being kind and not giving up is the secret of surviving. i will pass on this novel to my gracious classmates since it deserves it.
