Pollyanna

Search

(1913)



In a fundamentally honest and straightforward way, Porter examines the trials of life—poverty, loneliness, and illness-—and concludes that a cheerful child's presence can alleviate social and personal bitterness. Pollyanna makes people see the good in life rather than the sad and negative. The book is not, however, a sermon, nor is it's tone preachy. It is a solid adventure/romance tale with many familiar but engaging elements. The poor orphan girl arrives in a strange place, lives in the "big house on the hill," and, through her liveliness and curiosity, explores and conquers a new environment.--Submitted by Emanuela Quelis Cunha
