Heidi, a Girl of the Alps

I felt my tears come when I read the part of the novel in which Heidi started to sleep walk. She dreamed about her home high up in the mountain and her grandpa each night, only to wake up and know again that she was still in the city. Each night she went back to her grandpa in a dream, which made her walk out unconciously to search for things that she could never in her life get out of her head. She loved her grandpa and her home. It is one of the most charming pieces of literature I've ever read in my life.

I love the novel, Heidi, a Girl of the Alps.

Hello, I read a few chaperts from Heidi, a girl of the Alps recently, and my tears often trickled down. I guess it was because I grew up with my grandpa, just like Heidi, in a countryside, and I found some difficulty in getting along with some of my relatives who were rich and famous, when I was growing up. When Heidi was moved to a place far away from her home high up in the mountain, she became really sad deep within her heart that she finally gave way to sleep walk. In my opinion, the girl, Heidi best describes what Emerson wrote in his essay, nature, that the rays of stars only shot into the eyes of children or those adults with the mind of children. Only children can see through nature and enjoy its blessings. I wish I still had the mind of a child. Anyway, I enjoy reading Heidi quite a lot.
