The Secret Garden

     We are reading The Secret Garden in our literature group.  The main character is Mary.  She was born in India and no one liked her.  Her mom and dad didn't want to see her because she didn't look pretty.  Her Ayah mostly takes care of her, but she didn't really like Mary either.  Her Ayah gave her everything so Mary thought she could have everything and she  became spoiled and selfish.  One day there was a disease that killed her mom and dad, so she had to move over to her uncle's house in England.  Her uncle's house in on a moor.  A moor is like a large space of land with ponies, sheep, and lots of shrubs.  The house was very old and it is huge with over a hundred rooms.
