The cover of a book on the shelf attracted me: a little girl wearing a patched, dark green yellow dress is holding a brown broom, next to a few piles of clothes that are almost full of hampers, but in the rubbish Exposed a few scattered books. She wore a mirror in front of her. The mirror actually made the little girl a princess-like girl, holding a pink lace parasol and wearing a pink layered princess cake skirt. The distressed girl was staring at the gorgeous girl in the mirror, showing amazed expression. There are three black characters on the bottom of the cover: Little Princess. The title reads “American Francis Hodgson Burnett.
Obviously a girl with a broken dress, why is the title of the book a “little princess”? Outside the mirror is a working girl. Why is a little princess in the mirror? Why are they both showing such a surprised expression at the same time? … One question has “jumped out” from my head.
I can’t wait to read the book. It turned out to be the case: the little girl in the cover called Sarah, the daughter of a wealthy Indian navy captain, went to a boarding schoolgirl in London to study and enjoy princess-like treatment. However, with the failure of his father’s diamond mine investment, my father died of illness, she was forced from a rich princess to become the poorest maid. Fortunately, my father’s friend found her and made her live a happy life.
Sarah has a princess status, but she is very humble in her heart. She is polite, respects others, speaks to anyone with a gentle tone; loves reading, reading a wide range, even adults’ books, books of all languages; she is sensible, calm when her father leaves her, don’t cry No trouble; she will think, when the snobbish Miss Minchin praises her, she will reflect on herself; she is also very enthusiastic, when she is bullied and feels wrong, she will fight for her… so there is no princess, Sarah Can you not like it?
When I read that her father died of investment failure, Sarah became the poorest maid of private school, I was worried, worried about whether she could withstand the suffering brought by life, whether she could persist, and whether she could maintain her original beauty.
Sarah gave me a surprise! She is a strong and optimistic girl, a true “princess” with a noble heart.
Sarah insisted on doing all kinds of the hardest work, endured Miss Minchin’s jealousy, and hungry and still studying hard in the open air at night. She is a partner with the little mouse and eats them bread crumbs every day. She imagined herself to be a prisoner in the Bastille and would one day release it. She will optimistically imagine her dilapidated loft as a beautiful thing and make herself happy. She is still so enthusiastic and kind, and when she is most hungry, she divides only six small breads into five, and only one. Although she has no gorgeous clothes, she is still the “little princess” in my heart. For Sarah, who is strong and optimistic, I am not only a favorite, but also an admiration.
Since I was a child, I liked the princess very much. I longed for the princess to wear a gorgeous dress, live in a luxurious palace, enjoy exquisite tableware, dance graceful dance… After reading the book “Little Princess”, I am “Princess” The word has a deeper understanding: the real princess is not the outer dress, but the inner beauty. Warmth, no dust.
