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.

For Bre Crosby-Martinez, sister of my heart v ABSTRACT Victorian girlhood literature frequently reflects and reinforces the dominant gender ideology of English culture by constructing female protagonists who are ultimately rewarded for conforming to the domestic ideal of the Victorian era. Through the medium of children’s literature, writers and publishers responded and contributed to the discourse on women’s roles in Victorian society, reacting to—and often against—the Women’s Rights Movement and the rise of The New Woman by targeting The New Girl.

A Critical Analysis of Frances Burnett's the Secret Garden
[VOLUME 3 I ISSUE 1 I JAN. – MARCH 2016] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ IJRAR Impact Factor 3.215 Ideology and the Children’s Literature: A Critical analysis of Frances Burnett’s The Secret Garden Komal P. Raichura Lect. English A V Parekh Technical Institute, Rajkot, Gujarat – India. Received Feb. 29, 2015 Accepted March 10, 2016 ABSTRACT Children’s literature explicitly throws to the adult readers the ideologies and attitudes which the societies wish to engender in their children. Since these expressions are written, published and bought for children by the adult, the opinions of (believed) important behaviours can be easily posited through the readings. Studies show fiction helps children retain information about distant places and times better than more traditional teaching methods (McGowan 204). British books on colonial India clearly indicate these children how they need to behave and believe about themselves, being members of the dominant race with prospect of the colonized people of the Empire. This literature demonstrates the British as superior to the Indians and teaches children the same. Whether they were aware of it or not, the authors and publishers of such novels were helping to teach the Empire’s children how they should regard themselves. The paper examines various, at times surprising, interlinks between the nineteenth century British imperialist ideology and one of the popular children's classic – The Secret Garden. Burnett not only depicts, but indirectly endorses imperialism and empires. In the words of Roland Barthes, depoliticize the imperialist project – especially in India which, though not the physical/imaginative setting, constantly hovers in the background of The Secret Garden.

That said, reading the book was way better than watching the movie, as it usually is with classics and books in general. In many ways she is the serious adult, while he is the excitable child.
