Sinossi

Eleanor H. Porter'Äôs beloved novel, "Pollyanna & Pollyanna Grows Up," presents a richly woven narrative that explores themes of optimism, resilience, and the transformative power of positivity. Through the lens of Pollyanna Whittier, a young girl orphaned and forced to live with her stern aunt, Porter employs a warm, conversational style filled with vivid imagery and relatable characters. The text is rooted in the early 20th-century American literature movement, emphasizing the ideal of the 'happy warrior' and the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The sequel, "Pollyanna Grows Up," furthers this exploration by inviting readers to witness Pollyanna'Äôs journey into adulthood, where her philosophy of looking for the silver lining is tested by more complex social realities. Eleanor H. Porter was a pioneer in children's literature, largely influenced by her own experiences with hardship and the importance of a hopeful outlook. Growing up in a tumultuous environment, Porter cultivated a belief in the power of optimism, which would not only characterize her writing but also resonate widely with readers of all ages. Her empathy for children and understanding of their world is evident in how she crafted Pollyanna as a role model, encouraging readers to face life's challenges with grace and positivity. I wholeheartedly recommend "Pollyanna & Pollyanna Grows Up" to readers seeking both inspiration and comfort in literature. Porter's timeless messages challenge readers to find joy in everyday life and remind us of the profound impact of attitudinal choices. This collection is an essential addition to the library of anyone looking to cultivate a spirit of optimism in their own lives.

Martial Arts - The Lethal...

Owen Jones

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
When most people hear the phrase martial arts, they usually think of those of the Far East, and it is true that most of the ancient martial arts that people have heard of did originate there. However, most countries also developed fighting skills may centuries ago. For example, boxing and wrestling featured in the Olympic Games in Greece thousands of years ago. 
However, there are also more modern recognised martial arts like French kick-boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Korean Tae Kwando and Japanese Aikido. If you search online for `x martial art`, where X is your target country, you will discover more. 
So far, we have only mentioned physical martial arts. There are also others like archery and javelin throwing. In other words, most people`s understanding on the phrase `martial arts` is too limited. One should think of `martial` as war(fare) and `arts` as skills or methods. It opens up the scope of the words. 
The information in this ebook on various aspects of martial arts both Eastern and Western is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
