Summary

"Pollyanna" by Eleanor H. Porter is a heart-warming story about a relentlessly optimistic young girl named Pollyanna Whittier, who uses her unique "glad game" to find joy in every situation. After the death of her father, Pollyanna goes to live with her stern and duty-bound Aunt Polly Harrington, an event that sparks a transformation within the small town. Introduced is the contrast between a cold, unwelcoming home run by Miss Polly and the shining attitude of a girl who embraces life with open arms, we see how Pollyanna's unwavering positivity challenges and changes the lives of everyone she meets, teaching them the importance of hope and resilience. Through gentle humor and touching moments, the story highlights the power of a cheerful outlook to change even the most hardened hearts.
