A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts of creating miracles the book talks about, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can bring me into a world that is more than reality when I read it. I can feel the power of goodness from the heroine—Sara Crewe. The book A Little Princess is the story of a girl named Sara Crewe, who is given everything she could ever want, but she is not spoiled. She immediately becomes a favorite of other students when they find that she is clever and can tell good stories by using her vivid imagination. On Sara's 11th birthday, Miss Minchin is told that Sara's father has died, leaving Sara penniless, and nowhere to go. So Miss Minchin sends her to an attic where she is going to work as a servant. Sara's trial is to remember that a Princess is the princess all the time, even when she acts as others, and even in rags and tatters. At last she gets helps from the friends of her father and become rich again, and become a princess forever. We can feel goodness all through the book. Sara is kind to everyone, even to the mice and her dolls! She always is ready to help others not matter what situation she herself is in. She encourages her friends when they have problems; she helps her friends to study; she tells wonderful stories to the poor little servant, and buys delicious food for her; she forgives the students who hate her and gives them a warm hand when they have problems; and even when she becomes poor she still gives most of her bread to a beggar; she and the mice become friends. Though she is starving she won’t forget to give some food to them. You might think this is hard for other people, but Sara did it very well. Her goodness and her headmaster’s villainy become an obvious contrast. The book has great influence on me. When I have difficulties, I always think of Sara and I will have courage to solve the difficulties and sometimes some ideas will come to my mind as if Sara had helped me. |
