12、ot only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. nevertheless, when i read this book, i feel a little sad about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence. five questions: q1: in what kinds of occasion that the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little

13、 prince? a1: the pilot has an accident with his plane in the desert of sahara, without any mechanics or passengers. the first night, when sleeping in the sand, he is awakened by a little odd voice calling him to draw him a sheep. then he sees a most extraordinary small boy stand there. in that case

14、he makes the acquaintance of the little prince. q2: why the little prince become doubt about the flower after a piece of time? a2: the flower begins very quickly to torment the little prince with her vanity. for instance, she always force herself cough a little so that he should suffer from remorse

16、t. when the boy demands what he forget, he says he forget that he is ashamed. when the little prince asks what he ashamed of, he says he forget the ashamed of drinking. the circulated answer seems to be absurd and ridiculous. so the little prince plunges in to deep dejection. q4: whats the meaning o

18、er, but if the little prince tames him, they will need each other. they will be unique in each others worlds. q5: why the little prince knows that the rose of him is unique in the world at last? a5: because his rose is not like the other five-thousand roses planted in the garden. he thinks in hersel

19、f all alone she is more important that all he hundreds of others. because it is she he has watered. it is she that he has put under the glass globe; because it is she that he has sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that he has killed the caterpillars, except the two or three that they

20、 save to become butterflies; because it is she that he has listened to, when she grumbles, or boasts, or even sometimes when she says nothing; because she is his rose. 【雾都孤儿】 here i am sitting on a couch alone, thinking about what i have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes an

21、d fire of indignation filling my heart, which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. it is truly what i felt after reading oliver twist, written by the prominent british author charles dickens. the resonance be

22、tween me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel, but what this aloof society lacks, and what i lack deep inside. these supreme resources im talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals, oil that we usually mention. theyr

23、e abstract like feelings, and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another love and care. those charitable figures whom dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. they showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell

24、 upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply. mr. brownlow is one such person. the other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves, artful dodger and charley bates, and thought naturally it was oliver, who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of

25、thieves, that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. being wrathful, he caught oliver, and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered, unfair magistrates worked. fortunately for him, oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. with symp

26、athy, mr. brownlow took the injured, poor oliver to his own home. there oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were mr. brownlows own son. one day, however, mr. brownlow asked oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had alrea

27、dy collected. the thief oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. after that he disappeared in mr. brownlows life. searching for a while, mr. brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. but dramatically, they came across each other again a few years later. without hesitation,

28、mr. brownlow took oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil. perhaps most of us would feel confused about mr. brownlows reaction. but as a matter offact, this is just the lesson we should learn from him. jesus said in the bible. forgive not seven times, but seventy-tim

29、es seven. why is that? because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. we cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. stop put mr. brownlow into the list of your models. always give

30、 people a second chance no matter what they might have done. thats also a substantial part of loving and caring others. then there are mrs. maylie and rose, olivers other benefactors. maybe the reason they loved and cared oliver was not because of forgiveness. in my point of view, it was trust. they

31、 had faith in oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of maylies at midnight. but this wasnt how these two ladies saw the whole thing. they denied olivers crime immediately and listened attentively to olivers own description of his miserable life. they

32、were deeply touched by olivers strong perseverance and astonishing vitality. accordingly, they remedied olivers body and heart and turned him into a different boy. he began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education. as far as we can see, it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution. sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles, which we often expect to come about, so why not trust? trust yourself, trust others, and youll salute miracles every single day. in the n
