Pollyanna
must be one of the best-loved stories for children of all time; there is
something about it that instantly captures your imagination and becomes
an inspiration for years to come.
Children and adults alike can identify with Pollyanna
and sympathize with the little orphan who suddenly finds herself landed
in the strange Harrington household. Everyone revels in the wonderful
transformation which Pollyanna produces in her lonely aunt, Polly
Harrington; the stuffy old town full of miserable people; cantankerous,
bed-ridden Mrs. Snow; and mean old Mr. John Pendleton, not to mention
her faithful friend, the orphaned rascal Jimmy Bean.
Pollyanna's positive approach to life, or as she calls
it, "The Glad Game", her sense of humour, directness, and
courage make her an unforgettable character, and the change she brings
about in the town is really miraculous. |
