SPOILER ALERT I love this book so much!!! I read it a long time ago when my mom got it from the library for me. At first I thought it'd be boring, but I was quickly enhanced in this world of joyful Pollyanna, kind to everyone and so, so, cheerful. When she loses her ability to walk, can she ever be cheerful again?
The main lesson in this story is to try to be glad when your sad. First, when the Glad Game was harder for Pollyanna it would be more fun! Pollyanna would always play the Glad Game when she was sad. Pollyanna even helped other people who are not happy or are disappointed to play the Glad Game. Second, she even taught Nancy ( a maid ) how to play the Glad Game! When Pollyanna wanted a toy doll in a care package from the ladies aid, but instead got crutches, she was blue. So her dad taught her how to play the Glad Game! At first, Pollyanna thought,¨ How could a silly game help me find a way to be happy about these crutches?¨, look at her now, she´s spreading the game everywhere! Third, she finally figured out how to be glad about the crutches! ( The book never said how? ) Finally, I would recommend this book for 5th grade girls because the book taught me to try to be glad when I´m sad, and if you read the book, I hope you will try to! Pollyanna is a tremendous book! I would read Pollyanna again!!!
Pollyanna is a girl who has not only lost her parents, but has to live with her rather cold Aunt Becky. She finds a spark of happiness in every thing greatly influencing the people around her. I love Pollyanna because it shows that no matter the circumstance you can be happy.
