Hello everyone, the book “A Little Princess” feels like it transported me back to my middle school days, when I would lie in bed on a sunny afternoon, engrossed in the little stories of Enrico from “Heart” with intense fascination.
The entire book is a true children’s story, not because of its simple language or its easy-to-read structure, but because when you pick it up, you know exactly which characters symbolise right and wrong, and a satisfying ending is sure to be ahead.
Sara is a little girl with an extremely wealthy father. She loves reading, is thoughtful, and has a vivid imagination. Her father sends Sara to a girls’ school in England, while he goes to war in India. From the beginning, Sara wins the hearts of many people because she is kind, polite and never looks down on anyone. But that same pride and goodness also makes selfish, greedy people feel ashamed – and they end up hating her.
It seems like her happy life will last until her father returns, then a tragic event occurs: her father falls ill and dies, leaving her an orphan, mistreated. However, despite such misery, Sara always maintains her kind heart. She uses her imagination and her understanding to build a “dream world” inside her harsh reality, and she “pretends” as if she was truly a princess.
What I learn from that book is how Sara faces her miserable reality. Just think about it: imagine suddenly, you go from having everything in the world to being penniless, scorned, abandoned, ordered around, and facing starvation. That’s the cruelest test life can give you. And little Sara is no different. But she views everything with gratitude, pride, and love.
This is a magical novel, everything Sara receives is miraculous. But I know that when you treat life with a clear conscience, miracles can happen at any time, as long as you believe in the beauty of love in this world. If you’re interested, please read “A Little Princess”!
