| the secret garden frances hodgson burnett summary: Quicklet on Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden (CliffNotes-like Summary) Dani Alexis Ryskamp, 2012-02-24 ABOUT THE BOOK The idea for The Secret Garden first came to Burnett while living in Maytham Hall in Kent, England. She used the Hall’s pattern as the blueprint for the book’s Misselthwaite Manor and its surrounding gardens, including the “secret” garden. The Secret Garden started life as a “serial,” or an ongoing story which has one installment published in each edition of a magazine over a period of months or even years. The adaptation of a work serial work to novel is a common occurrence. In fact, many of Charles Dickens’ books were originally published as serials, as was Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. The Secret Garden first appeared in The American Magazine in the U.S. and the Children’s Magazine in the UK in 1910. Burnett gathered the installments together and had them published in book form in 1911. The work passed into the public domain in 1987 and its full text is available online from the University of Virginia Library and other sources. The Secret Garden reflects upper-middle-class English life in the Victorian period, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Mary’s early life as the daughter of an English colonel stationed in India during its British colonization, and the significant differences between upper class and working class life, speech, and thought, both characterize major themes of the Victorian era. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Mary’s life in India is soon interrupted by an outbreak of cholera which kills both her parents and all the servants in the house. She’s found by another English colonist and shipped to England to live with her only remaining relative, her uncle Archibald Craven. Mr. Craven is a hunchback and lives in a sprawling, run-down house called Misselthwaite Manor, in the Yorkshire region of England. As Mary learns from the housekeeper, Mrs. Medlock, the house has over a hundred rooms, most of them closed. Mr. Craven is still in mourning for his wife, Lily, who died when she fell out of a tree in their special garden ten years ago. After her death, Mr. Craven locked the garden’s door and buried the key. Having nothing better to do in a secretive house full of adults, Mary soon starts searching for the secret garden, encouraged by the tales of the Yorkshire housemaid, Martha, and the gruff gardener, Ben. She finds the key to the garden where a mole has dug it up in the bare March soil. She searches the walled gardens until she finds the door, then lets herself into the secret garden.

| the secret garden frances hodgson burnett summary: The Turn of the Screw Henry James, 2024-08-22 The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a classic ghost story that continues to captivate readers over a century after its initial publication. Set in the late 19th century, the novella follows a young governess who is hired to care for two young children, Flora and Miles, at the remote and eerie Bly Manor. As the governess begins her duties, she becomes increasingly convinced that the manor is haunted by the spirits of the previous governess, Miss Jessel, and her lover, Peter Quint, who both died under mysterious circumstances. The story unfolds as the governess tries to protect the children from the malevolent ghosts, while also questioning her own sanity and the motives of the children in their interactions with the spirits. One of the most intriguing aspects of The Turn of the Screw is its unreliable narrator. The story is told through the perspective of the governess, whose mental state and perceptions of events are constantly called into question. This creates a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty, leaving readers to question whether the ghosts are real or just figments of the governess's imagination. James masterfully plays with the theme of perception and reality, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions about the events at Bly Manor. Another striking element of the novella is its use of Gothic elements. The isolated location, the decaying mansion, and the presence of ghosts all contribute to the eerie atmosphere of the story. James also incorporates psychological horror, as the governess's fears and paranoia intensify throughout the story, building tension and suspense. The Turn of the Screw is a prime example of Gothic literature, with its exploration of the dark side of human nature and the blurred lines between the living and the dead. One of the most controversial aspects of the novella is its ambiguous ending. The governess's final confrontation with the ghosts and the fate of the children are left open to interpretation, inviting readers to ponder the true meaning of the story. Some critics argue that the ghosts are a product of the governess's overactive imagination, while others believe that they are real and that the children are in danger. This open-ended conclusion has sparked countless debates and interpretations, making The Turn of the Screw a thought-provoking and enduring piece of literature. In addition to its literary merits, The Turn of the Screw also offers insight into the societal norms and expectations of the time period in which it was written. James explores themes of gender roles and class distinctions through the character of the governess, who is expected to be subservient and obedient to her male employer and to maintain the social hierarchy between herself and the children. The story also touches on the taboo subject of sexual relationships, particularly in regards to the ghosts and their influence on the children. Ultimately, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting and enigmatic work that continues to captivate readers with its complex characters, Gothic atmosphere, and thought-provoking themes. It is a testament to Henry James's mastery of storytelling and his ability to create a sense of unease and suspense that lingers long after the final page. A must-read for anyone interested in Gothic literature, psychological thrillers, or the blurred lines between reality and the supernatural. |

| the secret garden frances hodgson burnett summary: The Prophet's Wife Libbie Grant, 2022-03-01 A sweeping, lyrical tale of historical fiction that tells the unbelievable story of the early days of the Mormon church through the eyes of the woman who saw it all—Emma, the first wife of the prophet Joseph Smith. In 1825, in rural Pennsylvania, Emma Hale marries an itinerant treasure-digger, a man who has nothing but a peep-stone in his pocket and a conviction that he can speak directly to God. His name is Joseph Smith and in a few short years, he will found his own religion, gather zealous adherents by the tens of thousands, and fracture Emma’s life and faith While the Mormon religion finds its feet and runs beyond the grasp of its founder, Emma struggles to maintain her place in Joseph’s heart—and in the religion that has become her world. The Mormons make themselves outcasts everywhere they go. Joseph can only maintain his authority by issuing ever-stranger commandments on God’s behalf, culminating in an edict that men should marry as many women as they please. The Mormons’ adoption of polygamy only sets them further apart, and soon their communities are ravaged by violence at the hands of their outraged fellow Americans. For Emma, things take a more personal toll as Joseph brings in a new wife—a woman whom Emma considers a sister. As Emma’s family grows along with Joseph’s infamy, she knows there will never be peace until Joseph faces the law. But on the half-wild edge of the frontier, he’s more likely to find death at the hands of a vigilante posse than a fair trial. For the sake of her people—and her soul—Emma must convince the Prophet of God to surrender... and perhaps to sacrifice his life. |

But when his beloved coach tells him there’s not going to be a Hoop Group this year, Jayden is heartbroken. And he’s not the only one. Coach Beck’s daughter, Tamika, was planning to be the first girl ever to start for the squad.

For each kid, Hoop Group was more than just a chance to ball; it was an escape, a dream, a family. Now their prospects seem all but impossible—but then the world hasn’t met Jayden, Tamika, Chris, Anthony, and Dex before.
