This book reminds me of "Anne of Green Gables", their positivity vibes, their personality, their freckles (this triggered me, and I was like, "oh Anne is that you??").

Pollyanna is a delightful and inspiring classic story for people of all ages. It teaches the reader to look at life positively, to be optimistic, and never give up. The "Glad" game is one of my favourite parts of this book. It is so easy to play! When you are confronted with a less-than-ideal situation, try to find one aspect of it that makes you glad or happy.

I've been playing this game without even realising it my entire life. For example, when my final exam results came out and I didn't get the grades I wanted, I told myself, "Be glad you don't get remediation." Even now, I am so close to graduation and will soon say "goodbye" to my friends. It's difficult for me because I despise the word "goodbye" as it implies "forever." And, I am not looking forward to it, the thought of losing my friends causes sorrow. Nonetheless, I believe there is something to be thankful for. For instance, I constantly tell myself, "Be glad for the opportunity to spend a year with your friends! It is preferable to nothing." or "Be glad for the memories you have created with your friends." When you approach it in that manner, you gain a greater appreciation for the little things and acknowledge that, despite the bad situation, there is always some positive aspect to it, something you can be glad about. That is how I feel, at least.

I recommend you all to read this book. Trust me, you will learn something out of it. And I even encourage you to play the "glad" game! Because why not?! It is simple and it makes your life better. Like Pollyanna said, "There is something about everything that you can be glad about if you keep hunting long enough to find it."
