    The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett Reviewed by: Bianca Sayuri, 17 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity www.bethestaryouare.org Set in 1911, Mary Lennox is a ten-year-old girl born in India to a wealthy British couple. Neglected and unloved by her parents because of her sickly appearance, she is mostly taken care of by servants. As a result, Mary becomes arrogant, hostile, and self- centered. After her parents die due to an outbreak of cholera, she is sent to live with her uncle in Yorkshire. Mary starts to spend her days out in nature and almost instantly it has an incredible positive effect on her. Connecting with the people and the world around her she becomes healthier and her attitude drastically improves over time. She discovers the secret garden of her late aunt, and befriends a boy named Dickon, who has a special connection to animals and great gardening abilities. One-night Mary also discovers a boy of her age named Colin living in a hidden bedroom in the manor. She finds out that not only is he sick and unable to leave his bed, but also her cousin. As she gets to know him better, she becomes aware of how spoiled and self-centered he is. After Mary is upfront with him about his negative traits, he then also starts to go outside to the garden, which he had not done in years. Being around nature and friends, Colin’s health and perspective on life starts to change for the better.

  • Can Fiction Generate Social Change?
    Student ID: 1405937 Can fiction generate social change? Certainly it can. Look at B​lack Beauty.​ Written as an autobiography, Anna Sewell’s 1877 novel describes the life of the eponymous horse, Black Beauty, from his early days in fields with his mother, through life with owners good and bad, to his comfortable final home in the countryside. This book was described in the E​ncyclopedia of Animal Rights and Animal Welfare ​as “the most influential anticruelty novel of all time”. In the USA alone a million copies were sold within two years and it was widely distributed by animal rights activists to people who worked with horses. One example of the anticruelty legislation that was passed after its release was the abolition of the bearing rein. This held a horse’s head up high to look stylish, but prevented the horse leaning forward to pull. Wearing the rein was described by Black Beauty’s friend Ginger as “dreadful . your neck aching until you don’t know how to bear it . the blood from my tongue covered the froth that kept flying from my lips”. So why was it that B​lack Beauty ​was so influential, instead of being dismissed, like many horsey books, as sentimental anthropomorphism for teenage girls? Partly because, besides being a ripping good read and accurate in detail, it was written at the right time: a time of social change, 1 Student ID: 1405937 when Charles Dickens’ novels were raising awareness of the ill effects of poverty and Harriet Beecher Stowe was assisting the abolition of slavery with U​ ncle Tom’s Cabin.​ In order to generate social change, a novel must be different.

  • A Horse: Macdonald's Theodicy in at the Back of the North Wind
    32 Stott This is (Not) a Horse: MacDonald’s Theodicy in At the Back of the North Wind G. St. John Stott I George MacDonald insisted in his essay “The Fantastic Imagination” that the meaning of a work should be evident to its readers. He did not mean by this that there was only one meaning to a text, or that the author’s intent in writing was privileged, but that if a reader could not make any sense of what was written and the author had to step in, something had gone wrong. Under such circumstances commentary was a mistake. As he noted, using a simple analogy, “[I]f I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one” (LP xii). We might remember this when we read in At the Back of the North Wind (1871) a conversation between what might (or might not be) two cab horses: Diamond and Ruby. It is a puzzling scene which MacDonald refuses to make clear. Cab horse conversations can be easy to understand. In Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877), a work that was perhaps written as a response to At the Back of the North Wind,1 the eponymous Beauty discusses with Captain (a former army horse) the latter’s experiences in the Crimea: I said, ‘I have heard people talk about war as if it was a very fine thing.’ ‘Ah!’ said he, ‘I should think they never saw it. No doubt it is very fine when there is no enemy, when it is just exercise and parade and sham fight.

  • Black Beauty
    Black Beauty Black Beauty The story Black Beauty was a handsome horse with one white foot and a white star on his forehead. His life started out on a farm with his mother, Duchess, who taught him to be gentle and kind and to never bite or kick. When Black Beauty was four years old, he was sold to Squire Gordon of Birtwick Park. He went to live in a stable where he met and became friends with two horses, Merrylegs and Ginger. Ginger started life with a cruel owner who used a whip on her. She treated her cruel owner with the lack of respect he deserved. When she went to live at Birtwick Park, Ginger still kicked and bit, but she grew happier there. The groom at Birtwick Park, John, was very kind and never used a whip. Black Beauty saved the lives of Squire Gordon and John one stormy night when they tried to get him to cross a broken bridge. The Squire was very grateful and loved Black Beauty very much. One night a foolish young stableman left his pipe burning in the hay loft where Black Beauty and Ginger were staying. Squire Gordon’s young stableboy, James, saved Black Beauty and Ginger from the burning stable. The Squire and his wife were very grateful and proud of their young stableboy. James got a new job and left Birtwick Park and a new stableboy, Joe Green, took over. Then, one night Black Beauty nearly died because of Joe’s lack of experience and knowledge. The Gordons had to leave the country because of Mrs Gordon’s health and sold Black Beauty to Lord Westerleigh at Earlshall Park.

LONDON: ELLIOT STOCK I906 American Edition Published October 20, 1906 y PREFACE & one of his essays, Emerson tells us that IN " proverbs, like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions/' a statement which, if accepted, must place this class of literature on a very high footing. But, although due caution must be taken, when analysing proverbial lore, to differentiate between the serious and jocular element contained therein, it may safely be said that, taken as a whole, such adages and saws—which form an important branch of folk-lore—express more or less correctly the estimate of mankind relative to the subject specially handled. And, when it is remembered what a wealth of material proverbial literature supplies in connection with every concern of daily life, it is not surprising that woman should have been made a prominent theme for criticism and comment, the judgment passed on her being in most cases fairly evenly divided between what is *in her favour or the reverse. In a field, too, so wide we have been content to cull, from here and there, sufficient typical 212464 viii Preface instances of the proverbial wisdom of the human race in its teaching of woman's character as to illustrate the subjects classified in the following chapters, without unduly multiplying examples, which only too frequently are a repetition of the same adage told in a different form.
