Mrs. Mitchell said, "A child who lacks everything will fantasize." Sarah has been loved by her father since she was a child, and she has everything. Out of the fantasy that she should have at this age, she has brought her fantasy to the extreme. She is very good at telling stories with happy endings. The school will have a schedule of reading books at night, and read aloud according to the script, which makes the other girls very bored, and even the two teachers are sleepy (probably this story is familiar to everyone), Sarah knows that the follow-up development is not good, so when she When reading aloud, she directly changed the story and went in the direction of active resistance, and went in the opposite direction of surrendering to reality, but Mrs. Mitchell did not allow this, which violated the rules (Mrs. Mitchell's rules came first, from Sarah just in. The school can see that everything is so neat, and the racism and class discrimination that have formed the rules), and say: A child who lacks everything will fantasize. When Sarah lived in the attic, she went from being well-fed to poverty. The gap was too great, and she also lost her favorite father. She couldn't accept it for a while. For a period of time, she would cry with her baby at night, thinking about it. Dad, maybe she also thought about how miserable she was (compared to other female classmates), and maybe she also thought of Mrs. Mitchell's words "a child who lacks everything will dream", so she didn't want to tell stories for a long time, already Not in the mood to tell stories. The next chain-like plot changed Sarah. Sarah's father died in battle, and she heard that the son of the neighbor's old man was also killed at a young age. She suddenly felt pity, and it was not just her own. The relatives were gone; then on the way there was a child who was well-fed and gave her a little money (probably Mrs. Mitchell was too mean and gave too little food), she was very hungry and went to buy a bread, just about to eat, On the way, I found a mother holding a child and two girls selling flowers, and they couldn’t sell them. The girls were also very hungry and probably hadn’t eaten for a long time (the family has a large population, and the flowers couldn’t be sold. ), Sarah felt that they were hungrier than herself, so she gave them bread, and Sarah found that there were actually poorer than herself, and at least she had food and a place to live; On the neighbor's door to mourn; Sara also saw the little boy chimney sweep being scolded by Mrs. Mitchell. In fact, there are many people like her (including children) who make a living. So Sarah began to tell stories again, using her ultimate fantasy, why can't the poor, why can't the orphans, and why can't people who lack everything? Although Sarah lost her father and material things, she did not lose her spiritual wealth. She still has friendship, kindness, optimism, and fantasy. She insists that "every girl is a little princess, rich or poor, young or old." Older, whether she is pretty, smart or not," chokes this sentence on Mrs Mitchell.
When Sarah didn't show up, Betsy probably felt that the world was so dark, racist, and classist, "Betsy can't talk to us because she's black and a servant, isn't that enough?" She took it all by herself All the work, living alone in the attic, receiving these unequal treatment alone, obviously her age is about the same age as these young ladies, after Sarah appeared, Sarah said "thank you" to her, gave her a new pair of shoes, come Go to the attic to say hello to her, these are all warm, all from this new little princess. She secretly listens to Sarah's creative stories outside the door, and gradually makes these stories her spiritual backbone, so life is not so miserable, right? During the time when Sarah didn't want to tell stories, she must have been particularly uncomfortable. How could the little princess who once gave her light not tell stories? But fortunately, these are short-lived, Sarah is still the original little princess, no matter if Sarah lives in a big room with everything, or in a dark and leaky attic, Sarah will still take her to fantasize, Imagine things she's never encountered before, things she thinks she might never enjoy in this life.
Mrs. Mitchell's personality is quite fascinating. In general, she is indeed a greedy and mean person. The sentence she said, "A child who lacks everything will fantasize" is actually quite meaningful. Maybe she used to be a child who lacked everything. She never fantasizes. She has no time to fantasize about making money and deducting other people's money. To please yourself, and use rules to restrain others and restrain yourself. Sarah broke the rules many times and talked back to her, the last thing Sarah said was "all girls are little princesses, didn't your daddy tell you?" Then Mrs Mitchell cried, for one reason It may be that she has never been told this by a child, the second may be that she has no father's love, her father has not told her this, and all that is told to her may be "If you want to be famous in high society, girls should restrain themselves. Be decent." Her definition of a princess might be "high above, have what you want, beautiful, smart, young, and follow the rules", which is broken by Sarah. (Mrs. Mitchell may need time to imagine and feel like a princess, after all, she should be a little princess too)
Therefore, a child who lacks everything can also have the power of fantasy, and every girl is a little princess (even if she speaks harshly, it is also a little princess).
