Nature and growth

Finally made up the movie! The Secret Garden can be said to be my favorite children's literature (probably). When I was in elementary school, besides the little Doudou by the window, this was the book I read the most! Although my favorite one with illustrations was lost in the reading sharing session in the fifth grade, but then I bought a hardcover version of this story, like many of the growth series in the UK, it is all about warmth. The miracle happened. It really brought a lot of beautiful imagination to me when I was young, including me now! Just like the first time Mary walked through the field in this story, it was her saddest time and it was night. She felt that the field outside was like the sea. The wind blowing bushes was like the sound of waves. She didn’t like it there. But then Dickon told him that there are all good things there. You are standing in the heather, the sun is shining, the gorse smells like honey, and the cute animals are their world. The children’s world is very beautiful. They revived the garden, and at that time I knew a lot of flowers, hyacinth, dry narcissus, marigold, lily of the valley, bluebell, snow lotus, crocus. In each chapter of the story, Mary is getting more and more lively. She has the same curiosity as me, and follows her step by step to meet Pioneering. Including the fact that Colin successfully walked on the ground in the garden, just like Heidi and Grandpa’s healing of Clara, it seems that these warm things, they all have the magic of healing, indeed, this kind of story is also for me. Has a healing effect. Alas, just talk nonsense, but this is really a work I like very much. The movie has slightly cut some content, especially Martha, Dickon and Mary are getting more and more familiar. I think this part of the deletion will be a shortcoming Meaning, it will feel a little inexplicable. In the novel, Mary's process of becoming healthy is written more clearly, and she is more able to appreciate the influence of nature on her. It suddenly occurred to me that maybe I started to like plants since then

The Secret Garden quotes

  • Colin: I'm master of this house while my father is away.

    Mary: Your father? He's my uncle. Nobody told me he had a son.

    Colin: Come here. What's your name?

    Mary: Mary Lennox.

    Colin: I'm Colin Craven.

    Mary: Our mothers were sisters. Twins.

    Colin: Twins? Nobody told me she had a twin. Fluff the pillows for me, Cousin Mary.

    Mary: What?

    Colin: The covers on this bed are all twisted.

    Mary: Well, I don't know what to do about it. I'll call Mrs. Medlock.

    Colin: No! She'll be mad if she finds you in here.

  • Colin: See, that's a picture of my mother.

    Mary: Why do you keep a curtain over her?

    Colin: My father doesn't like to see it. I don't look like her at all. But *you*, you look like her. She smiles too much.

    Mary: Smiles too much? How can anybody smile too much?

    Colin: Sometimes I hate her. She died when I was born.

    Mary: But I thought she died in her garden.

    Colin: Her garden? What garden?

    Mary: Oh, just a garden. There are so many of them here.
