Pollyanna is a digraceful novel. There are many misspelled and worn out words.
In 1907 women did not have the right to do anything they want. So they looked up to Pollyanna and her joyfulness. Now, women have the right to do anything, unlike back then.
I would not recomend this realistic fiction book to anyone. It is horrible.

I am unsure about how this book became a classic this book is painstakingly disgusting! There is hardly even a plot and when there is any sort of conflict Pollyanna permanently comes in and saves the day before the tale can get appealing. Every page I turned I was just waiting nervously for the ridiculous Pollyanna to declare “I am so glad!” I really despised how Porter made the stereotypical pleased-go-lucky 1800’s she could have realized that very soon there would be the Civil War. Eleanor Porter should have agreed this book to a soldier on the front lines then she might have seen that life is not all wines and roses. If you want to read a book about a girl in the 1800’s read Anne of Green Gables.

I don’t reflect Eleanor H. Porter was thinking when she wrote Pollyanna. I reflect the book and Pollyanna are monotonous. Playing that glad game is so stupid. You should not be pleased with everything in life. The language is also very dull and dull. I place the book down after the fifth chapter.

I am not usually this cold about classics, heck, any book at all, but Pollyanna was very terrible, to be unadorned frank.
When I first read the first couple of paragraphs, I was shocked. It was like Anne of Green Gables and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was staring me in the face. A forceful-laced, prim, victorian relative raises her niece, whose no excellent, stubborn parents die. HEEELOOOOO!!!!!!!!! That is a combo of Anne’s and Rebecca’s plot! Except that Pollyanna’s aunt is young, so she stll has a chance for like. (Blech!) I only got threw the first couple of chapters before I said no more.
I was so fed up with Miss Porter, I looked at the copyright date. The book was published in 1912, which was four years after Anne was published, and either eleven or nine years after Rebecca was published. (My year of when Rebecca was published is shaky.)
I reflect of Rebecca, Anne, and Pollyanna as the trio of imaginative classic girls of the victorian times. Anne is the most know and beloved, Rebecca is a close second, and Pollyanna is a very, very, very distance third.
I read Anne of Green Gables before any of the additional two girls, and she is my favorite. I then read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and I loved it. Not as much as Anne, but I still reflect it is a superb book. Then I read Pollyanna, and was really uninterested in this book. I have read Anne and Rebecca copious times and still like them both.
L.M. Montgomery (Anne’s leader,) and Kate Douglas Wiggin (Rebecca’s leader,) can keep the plot and main charecter of their book bubbly, but Elanor H. Porter can barely keep it alive.
I was suprised that Miss Montgomery and Miss Douglas didn’t file for fraud against Miss Porter for such similarites in Pollyanna. Take for instances, when Pollyanna breaks her legs. Anne broke her ankle before Pollyanna did. And Pollyanna’s aunt’s (Aunt Polly,) ancient like affair. Uhh, sorry to break that to any of you Pollyanna fans who have not read Rebecca, but one of Rebecca’s aunts, Jane, had an ancient like affair and engagement waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy before Polly ever did.
I’m sorry if I sound harsh, but I get very brutal with the things I displease. You know most of us do. But Pollyanna is a dull book. Please take the time to read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, or Anne of Green Gables, but NOT Pollyanna.
P.S. I have never seen the movie Pollyanna, but really hope that the movie is better than the book.

I would give it zero stars if I could. The part that bothered me most was when Pollyanna’s aunt, converted to Pollyanna’s rather unbalanced way of thinking, finds tales of people who were “helped” by her philosophy. Two poor children have only a door to shelter them in a blizzard and marvel what children do who haven’t even a door; an ancient woman has only two teeth but is so glad because they “hit.” The book’s social message is this: Everything could permanently be worse; this is a reason for foolish optimism. –The point of life is not to be able to twist all one’s misfortunes (and additional people’s) so they seem like blessings; the leader and Pollyanna appear to reflect otherwise, building for an infuriating tale which also contains the stock “comic” character (a street boy with an unrealistic accent and dull) and unlikely romance (between Aunt Polly and the local doctor, who quarreled years ago over a tiny matter; it took the paralysis of Pollyanna’s legs for thewm to make peace). This book deserves all the deprecation it has got.
