BR 1-08:The Secret Garden



Reference:
Hodgson Burnett, F. (2007). The Secret Gargen. London: Usborne Publishing Ltd.

I read The Secret Garden because I thought it was interesting. There was a girl and her name is Mary Lennox. Her mother and father died. When Mary arrives in her uncle's gloomy house on the moors, she feels forlorn and lonely. But the house is filled with exciting secrets and behind an old ivy-covered wall is a garden. It was Mrs. Craven's special garden, but she died and the master was so unhappy, he buried the key and went away. The robin helped her to find the key to the secret garden. One day, she was inside the secret garden. It was a mysterious place. There were withered grass and rose branches trailed the walls, but it isn't completely dead. She met Dickon who know the details about a plant and animals. Every day they worked in the garden. I like a flower very much because I feel relax. I want such a garden someday! One day, Mary listened a tearful voice. There were a boy who is weak and his name is Colin. He is Mrs Craven's son and they are cousins. Mary encourage him and I was deeply impressed by her voice. Mary and Dickon took Colin to the garden and he tried to walk. Every day Colin grew stronger and his father was very glad.

I thought Mary was very kind girl and the power of nature was so wonderful. I was pleasant to this story and illustration. I want to go to the secret garden!!
