As I delved into the pages of this gripping tale, I was captivated by Dickens' vivid descriptions and intricate storytelling.
One of the aspects that struck me the most about "A Tale of Two Cities" is the stark contrast between the cities of London and Paris. Dickens masterfully paints a picture of the stark differences in social and political climates between the two cities. While London is portrayed as a peaceful and prosperous city, Paris is depicted as a place of chaos and violence. This stark contrast serves as a powerful metaphor for the stark divisions present in society and the consequences of such inequality.
The characters in "A Tale of Two Cities" are complex and multi-dimensional, each with their own struggles and motivations. Sydney Carton, in particular, stood out to me.

His ultimate act of self-sacrifice and redemption left a lasting impression on me. It made me reflect on the power of love and the potential for change within every individual, regardless of their past mistakes.
Furthermore, Dickens' exploration of the theme of sacrifice deeply resonated with me. The novel emphasizes the idea that true sacrifice requires immense courage and selflessness. From Miss Pross sacrificing her hearing to protect Lucie, to the ultimate sacrifice made by Sydney Carton, the novel highlights the transformative power of sacrifice. It reminded me of the importance of putting others before oneself and the impact such acts of selflessness can have on individuals and society as a whole.
As I reached the climax of the novel, the gripping portrayal of the French Revolution left me in awe. Dickens' vivid and haunting descriptions of the bloodshed and violence served as a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked power and the destructive nature of revenge. It made me contemplate the importance of social justice and the dangers of allowing inequality and oppression to persist.

双城记英语读后感 篇三
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.

Impression after reading Ode to a nightingale
After reading Ode to a nightingale, I felt my blood boiled, I was on fire and full of enthusiasm and just could not calm down. It is so romantic and I had been touched so much. In fact, although the title of the poem is “Ode to a nightingale”, throughout the poem, it has basically little words describing the nightingale directly however the writer mainly uses the graceful image of nightingale to express his own feelings. It is said that a nightingale will die on a full moon night. And at midnight, it will fly to the highest rose-tree, and uses the thorn scratch its chest, then makes out a sonorous sound, singing loudly until the blood of the heart dries and reds the roses on the branches. Meanwhile this sound of singing seems like could penetrate everywhere and everything and keep an eternal life. I see the energy and hope of life and a bright future, and suddenly get courage and become positive. I think the poem makes me feel in that way.
And the author of Ode to nightingale is John Keats who is a Romantic Poet from UK. He was born at a poor family in the end of 18 century in London. In 1818, when Keats was 23 years old he got tuberculosis while also was deeply in love with Miss Fannie Boone. Just under such a terrible condition which between agony, poverty and sweetness, Keats was quite enthusiastic, full of grief and indignation and kept the desire for life in his heart. Therefore, he wrote the poem Ode to a Nightingale on a sober night and companied with the loud sound of the birds.
It is acknowledged that the poet was in difficulties and tied out however at this time he heard the nightingale’s loud singing like an inspiring ring. His heart was moved by such sound of singing. I remember the poem was written like this, “That I may drink, and leave the world unseen, and with thee fade away into the forest dim. Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget what thou amongst the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs.” The soft night and beautiful surroundings make Keats feel comfortable and enjoyable. Even though he does not know the names of the flowers, he feels them by heart and soul. What’ more, he absorbs in this world and hope he can always live in such a place where is far from that dark society. Ode to a Nightingale has a clear feature of romance, Keats uses perfect metaphors, gorgeous and quite fluent words to express his strong ideas and deep desire to free world. And I consider the British romance style reaches perfection from Keats.
