Blog#14:Pollyanna

     Hi, i'm Yuri. Sorry, I'm late!:(
Do you know Pollyanna? It is a title that the book I read.

Miss Polly Harrington was a cold, very rich woman. She is forty years old, and her father, mother and sisters were all dead. She lives alone in a big house because she liked living quietly. One day in June, Miss Polly got sad news: her sister’s husband was dead. So she had to take care of her niece, Pollyanna.

POLLYANNA

    

     Pollyanna was a little bit strange girl for Miss Polly. She was always glad when Miss Polly punished her. She said she was playing the “glad game”. Pollyanna met some people. Mrs. Snow, a lady who was very sick and never left bet. Mr. Pendleton, a man who never smiled and always looked angry when Pollyanna talked to him. Jimmy, an orphan boy who wanted to live in a real home with family. They all have some kind of problem, but she cleared them after she visited and talked to them some times. She changed people who were around her. She was good at finding the good aspects of the people. Mrs. Snow became feminine,Miss Polly became softer and Mr. Pendleton became friendly.

     I think she was a little bit mysterious girl. Because she had a talent to make everyone who she met happy and lively. She connected Mr. Pendleton and Jimmy, who both felt lonely, live together. She made Miss Polly and Dr. Chilton, who used to be lovers, a couple again. So I was shocked that accident happened to her. She injured badly, and she couldn’t walk for about 10 months.

     However she never gave up. She tried to walk by herself and she was glad about every small step she got. She didn’t change at all even though she got serious accident and almost dying. She always encouraged people and I was one of them. She taught us how important not to give up and being always “glad” about everything.

Pollyanna was made into a movie, but I haven't seen it, so I want to see this movie sometime.
