Composition


Dear Courier Junior This is my
school composition about the story,
"Pollyanna" written by Eleanor Porter.
Pollyanna was little girl who lived
in a far western town with her father
who was minister. Her mother died
when she was little child. Her father
died when she was eleven years old
and the only relatives she knew about
was an aunt, Miss Polly Harrington
who lived in a small village in Yer
mont.
Pollyanna was sent to her aunt who
did not seem to want to take her. She
tried to always do her duty though and
so she had Nancy, the hired girl, get
Pollyannas room ready. When Polly
anna saw the room she was disappoint-
ed but was glad it was no worse. Her
aunt afterward changed her to pretty
room near hers.
She made many friends. With each
and all, but her aunt, she told about
the Glad Game This Glad Game was
game told to Pollyanna by her father
which was always to find something to
be glad about no matter what hap
pened.
One day Pollyanna was walking In
woods owned by man named John
Pendleton. All of sudden, Pollyanna
heard a dog barking and in little bit
it was near her.
The dog coaxed her to follow it to
where man lay. The man had fallen
and hurt his foot and asked her if she
could go and telephone for DR.. Chiffon
Later this man, Mr.. Pendleton and
DR.. Chiffon became good friends of
Pollyanna.
One day when Pollyanna was coming
home from school. she saw motor car
coming at distance but thinking she
could cross the road before it was near
she started across and was struck by
the car.
A while afterwards she was carried
home and taken to the room she liked
so we'll.
/ DR.. Warren was called and did all he
could. Then another doctor was call
ed and Pollyanna told him that he look
ed something like her doctor.
This doctor looked at DR.. Warren but
Pollyanna said, mo, DR.. Warren is
Aunt Polly's doctor, but DR.. Chiffon is
mine"
These doctors told Aunt Polly that
Pollyanna could not walk again and as
the door was slightly ajar Pollyanna
heard this.
Jimmy Bean was little boy whom
Pol.yanna knew who worked for Mr..
Pendleton. One day he overheard a
conversation between Mr.. Pendleton
and DR.. Chiffon.
He hurried to Miss Polly's house
and told her that DR.. Chiffon said that
= If he could make an examination he
thought he knew doctor who could
cure Pollyanna.
AS Miss Polly and Doctor Chiffon
had been lovers and had had falling
out she did not want him to come but
for Pollyanna's sake she let him come.
Many people came to Miss Polly and
told her to tell Pollyanna that they
were playing the game.
AS Miss Polly did not know this
game she asked Nancy and Nancy told
her about it, The next time she told
Pollyanna about someone playing the
game. Pollyanna said, why Aunt
Polly you spoke as if you knew the
game" then Aunt Polly told her that
she was playing the game too.
Pollyanna then said that this was
something she could be glad about.
iPollyanna was taken away to hos.
pftal and cured.
Miss Polly and DR.. Chiffon made up
their quarrel and were married and
told Pollyanna it was all because OF
her.
