A Little Princess

When we hear the word “ princess”, we always think about those grace and beautiful girls wearing some luxuriant dresses. Most of them are born to be

princesses, but there are some changes in their life, which makes, or in another word, forces them to have a kind of different life for a while. After all those difficulties, and at the end of these princesses stories, they’ll find their true love and have a happy life from then on. Of course, “ A Little Princess” is the same.

I bought this book by accident,but after reading it,I was grateful of that accident. A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a famous British novelist and dramatist who also wrote the book The Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden which are also well- known in the whole world.

The book “A Little Princess” is the story of a girl named Sara Crewe, who is given everything she could ever want, but she is not spoiled. She immediately becomes a favorite of other students when they find that she is clever and can tell good stories by using her vivid imagination. On Sara's 11th birthday, Miss Minchin is told that Sara's father has died, leaving Sara penniless, and nowhere to go. So Miss Minchin sends her to an attic where she is going to work as a servant. Sara's trial is to

remember that a Princess is the princess all the time, even when she acts as others, and even in rags and tatters. At last she gets helps from the friends of her father and become rich again, and become a princess forever.

One thing that I think Sarah is different from the other traditional character of princesses is that she has not only the power of love, but also the power of

friendship. When we talk about the Snow White, we’ ll definitely associate her with the Prince Charming, but when we read the book “ A Little Princess”, the more we feel touched is the poor girl always by her side when she’s in her darkest time.

And I don’ t think that if there is not such a pretty girl, Sarah may not survive from the poverty. Though the poor girl is not the main role, and she is unluckily not a princess, she still has the character that one princess should have: kindness,

steadfast and preserving. She’ s the most impressive one, in my opinion, in the whole book! I should say, though she is not the princess with glorious wealth and a fabulous fated prince, she will become a princess by her own effort.

A Little Princess tells the heartwarming story of a young girl of fortune, who is left destitute after the death of her father. Her vivid imagination and cheerful nature keep up her spirits despite the hard times and neglect, and the good she does to others reaps its own rewards.

It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a princess.

I like Sara,a girl of this book,a true princess.She lost her favorite,her father,but she was strong.She looked as she just was a petite girl.She had a small face and body,but she also had a strong heart and admirable quality. Sara was a very nice girl who had a gentle, appreciative ways of saying. So, not only her teachers and classmates liked her, but also her servants liked her. There was a time when Sara became a poor and piti

ful servant insulted by the snobbish headmaster of the school. In spite of this, she had never complained to anyone about the horrible suffering she had endured. Sara was confident, brave, optimistic and kind-hearted just like before and she had never given up her enthusiasm of life. No matter when, Sara acted like a princess, and on account of this, she had accomplished a great deal of miracles over and over again. What does the word “goodness” mean? The explanation in the dictionary is: the state or quality of being good. What Sara has done not only represents goodness, but also shows that the author upholds good things and hopes that the world will be full of goodness and love. And then what about the real life in the world? Of course there is goodness and villainy. Goodness? Good things are done by historic persons and great people; as a negligible person, it has nothing to do with me! If you have this kind of opinion of doing goodness, you are totally wrong. We can see goodness from very tiny things, such as: giving a sweet smile to your friends when you meet them; being kind and considerate while you do things; trying to find it’s a pleasure to help others; being kind to all creatures…well, as there are so many, it sounds difficult; but if you really have a warm heart in daily life, you will find it is easy enough to do goodness.

Every girl wants to be a princess, because the traditional idea or definition of princess is a pretty girl who has a prince fated who gives her true love and power, and helps her deal with the imperfect things, providing her with a perfect life instead, a lot of wonderful dresses, and do not need to worry about her life because

everything will be solved by someone else including those malicious step-mothers. But we live in reality, not day dream, so we give up the thoughts that we could be a princess. And that is the reason why most of us get rid of the idea of depending on the others and try our best to work hard to create a better life. The reality can’ t be perfect, and sometimes, it can be just a mess, but we can survive by our own efforts. In the process of growing up accompanied with forgetting the princess dream, we just achieve the character which might make us become a princess without great wealth, but who has the courage, the independence, the kindness, the confidence, and so on! Why I say most of us is because somebody who doesn’t have the

distinguished identity always thinks that she is a princess, and she wants everyone around her treats her as the princess. That is kind of illness. I do think if a girl

depends on herself will achieve a wonderful life, and when she does, she will feel the happiness from the bottom of her heart!

《小公主》读后感

你们认识美国作家弗朗西斯·霍克森·伯内特吗？《小公主》就是他的一本小说。 这本书主要写了一个聪明美丽、善良可爱但却年幼丧母的小萨拉，她家境富有，是一个人人羡慕与尊敬的“小公主”。可是，天有不测风云，她的父亲去世了，随着父亲的突然离去，她一下子从“小公主”变成了寄宿学校的“灰姑娘”，在女校长伪善、恶毒的怜悯中，在厨娘冷漠、凶恶的外表下，幼小萨拉选择了坚强，她以自己的父亲是军官来鼓励自己，她坚信：“就算穿着破衣服，我也可以在心里像一个公主。”所以，她勇敢地面对生活，真诚对待朋友，在她自己饿得要昏倒的时候在无私地帮助别人。最后，她不仅赢得了人们的爱与尊敬，还获得了巨额的遗产，最终成为了真正的公主！

小萨拉的做法感动了我，她在失去双亲的情况下还这么勇敢地面对生活，这是值得我们学习的。小萨拉不仅非常勇敢，还拥有着很高尚的品德。在明卿校长的妹妹艾米利亚去宿舍告诉新生学校的纪律时，孩子们都在互相打闹、抱怨，甚至有的又哭又闹、又叫又嚷的。但是，唯有小萨拉见到艾米利亚进来后，很有礼貌地请她进来，然后让女佣塔纳沙给艾米利亚倒了一杯水，还和她聊了一会儿呢！这充分地表现了小萨拉的高尚品德。

小萨拉是我们学习的榜样，我们应该学习她的勇敢坚强的意志，学习她那不服输的精神，学习她那高尚的品德??
