The secret garden was written by Frances Hondgson Burnett a classic novel of children’s literature.It’s really very classic and famous,and we can learn many things from it. Mary isn't a good gril.She was born in a wealthy family ,but her parents didn’t care about her at all.So in order to get attention,she became spoiled and bad-tempered,she even didn't know how to dress!Things began to change,because her parents died,then she was sent to her uncle’s home in England.At first,she was very disagreeable.People didn’t like her very much,which result in her loneliness and boredom.Soon she found the secret garden.The arden was her died aunty’s favourite garden,but she died in it.As a result ,her uncle locked it and buried the key under the ground.Meanwhile she also found that her uncle had a son Collin,who had the same condition as she used to have.Collin also lived in an unhappy family:his mother died and his father didn’t care about him.He was vulnerable and always suffer from illness.All these make his character disagreeable and distorted.Then Mary showed up and brought light and hope to him,helping him defeat and recover from the illness.they work, they laugh, they enjoy sunshine, and they all become healthy like that secret garden. The secret garden tells them how to laugh. Love the nature. Love all the things. At last, Mr. Craven comes back. When he sees the garden becomes beautiful and healthy again, he is crying. He says he lost an important thing in past, but now, he finds them in this garden, he feel every thing changed better, he begin to love and look after his son, he also changed happy, warm and accept his son,Mary and open the secret garden.
In this novel,the secret garden is a transition part.From the garden,we can see many changes:the change of itself,the change of Mary and the change of Collin.All of these are due to the garden.In my opinion,the secret garden symbolized the dream and the hope.Since Mary found the garden,which means she also found the dream and hope.Life is hopeful and full of beauty if we find and observe it.And if we dig deeper,we can get the theme of the novel:life itself is a magic,so the power to change everything is the love for the life,which is the original power of life.I think the whole world is a garden,as long as you try ,you can always find the wonderful beauty.
In my opinion, this is a very hopeful and beautiful story. I think it is good for little children to get dream and hope. I wonder that how the author wrote this story. That means where the author's feeling came from. Some characters of novels based in real people who were around authors. I think people in this story may be real people and the author changed the name and added some his thinking. I also think about that the secret garden means peoples' hopeful place. I could not catch all the author's real purposes, but I think this story hid much meaning. This story make me think to find it even though every readers thinks differently. Thank you for sharing your book so far.
ReplyDeleteI can say that when I read the story, I realized that there is a hopeful in the life. Also, if anybody wants to change something, he will be able to do that because there is no impossible in the life. Therefore, the writer gave example the garden which converted from dirty to a beautiful garden with refresh air. Moreover, the writer wants from people specially children to know that how this girl became lovely after she was hated by people. Another lesson was given by the writer is that how we can help and make people happy. I think that it was very interesting and wonderful story and i read and saw this story as movie before that. Thanks
