"A Little Princess"

This is my Creative writing letter. I hope this counts for my blog this week.
Dear Mrs. Burnett,

I am writing you a letter about your book "A Little Princess." My dad first read me this book when I was nine years old. Since then I have read and reread this book countless times. While reading "A Little Princess" I was taught about life, taught about love, taught about what it means to be strong. Sarah taught me that no matter how bad things get you just have to keep going, hold your head up high and be a princess. I know that Sarah is a fictional character, but I am brought to tears in more than one place in this book.

When comparing myself to Sarah I know that I would not be able to be as strong as she is. If I had to work all day without a word of thanks I know that I could not keep my temper. When Sarah gives five out of six buns to a beggar child on street, it makes me want to do something that is kind and heroic. It is amazing that someone so cold, hungry and miserable can be so selfless, and loving to someone they don't even know. What would the world be like if more people, even just one person was a little kinder and more like a princess? "She is hungrier than I am, she's starving." With a shaking hand she put down the fifth bun. "I'm not starving." I wish that I could think of others instead of myself like Sarah does. She could have told herself that she deserved the buns (because she did), that she was nearly starving (Because she was). But no, she gave all of the buns but one to a little beggar child. By doing this she changed this child's life. By doing one small act of kindness in this world we can change lives and more.
While reading "A Little Princess" I learned what it takes to be strong. It takes much more strength to not reply when you are being made fun of or ridiculed, than to fight back and demean the person that was demeaning you. In your book Sarah says "When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are. Because you are strong enough to hold in your rage and they're not. And they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage except what makes you hold it in. That's Stronger." I love that quote! "There's nothing so strong as rage except what makes you hold it in." This is so true. After reading this book when someone says something to me to try and make me mad I try to just look at them. Just look and not say anything. If I can do this it is always a better result and I feel better. Sometimes it is so hard for me to keep back the biting remark that is on verge of my lips.

Reading this book has really helped me to be a better person. It hastaught me so much about life. I wish that I could be more like a little princess. It easy to act like a princess when everything is going great, and you are happy. But, could I act like a princess if I were in rags and tatters? I don\'t know if I could. Would I be able to give up 5 hot buns on a freezing cold hungry day? I don\'t know if I could. What I do know is that If we Love a little more, and think about others more than ourselves, we are acting like little princesses, and the world will be a better place.
