Daddy Long Legs By Jean Webster

Daddy-Long-Legs-Novel-Summary

Daddy long legs is a story of a young girl Jerusha (Judy) who has been raised in an orphanage. Her life changed when one of the orphanage trustee read an essay written by her and decided to pay for her college, the only condition being that judy must write him every month explaining how her studies were going and without expecting an answer in return.

Along with her progess in studies Judy started sharing her thoughts, her joys and sorrows and petty hazards of her days. There were times when she felt lonely and would write an angry letter to the trustee, feeling sad for the fact that she never gets a reply. However by the end, she did get to know who the trustee was and that including the ending may surprise many.

ABOUT JUDY:

The main character Judy was realistic, imaginative, intelligent and opinionated character. I loved her mercilessly sharp and lively sense of humour.

All in all, this book was fun to read. I saw things through Jerusha's point of view. It was a good story, with a bit of romance.

This book is great for beginners, who want to read something light and teenagers also.

"For you, a thousand times over"- Kite Runner Quote Meaning

"For you, a thousand times over" This quote has been taken from the novel The Kite Runner, written by Khalid Hosseini. This quote has been used by Hassan for Amir. For You, A Thousand Times Over To me this quote is about loving someone, to an extent that you are willing to do anything and everything for them, even a thousand times over. We often associate the word love in a romantic way, but love is diverse. The kite runner depicts love of Hassan for his brother/ friend whom he lovingly called Amir Agha. This quote talks about love in which we put someone else's needs before our priorities, one is willing to do anything for the other person. This love is boundless. But, what I also want to add is self love is very important. At times we give someone such high value in our heart that we totally forget ourselves, our needs, desires, dreams etc. Love should lead to growth. The love where only one person is giving and is willing to do anything is not right. Love yoursel...

Poetry on Being Stuck

BEING STUCK The world is moving, but it feels I'm standing still, Just like a rigid and helpless hill. Which stands there unable to move, It got ideas that the world disapproves.

Poem On Silence

Silence Silence Every heart bears a scar, that bleeds in silence. Their mind is like in a constant war, With all this violence. The smiling faces makes it hard to guess, That their thoughts are sad & lifeless. Soon a cocoon of darkness is formed, Being away from people becomes a daily norm. The bed becomes a friend, And roof your only sky. You wish whole heartedly that people wont pry. You try to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Hoping to get on track with proper will. But that ugly voice again comes in, Pulls you to a numb side where you have always been. Soon you do things to feel the pain, To just be away from that numb feign. But realizing that this is only illusion saves you, Its the mind that simply makes or breaks you. Thinking past the clogged thoughts brings new hope, The same person becomes a survivor that was nearly broke. -Amrinder Sometimes all we want is to find an escape, an escape from frustrations, hopelessness and disappointments. Sometimes our t...
