![]() She’s a tall, elegant, snob and rich kind of girl. Julia Pendleton – Judy’s classmate and roommate.But that didn’t stop her from learning things and growing up. I also like how she was so open with Daddy-Long-Legs about her feelings on certain things, even her admiration towards her love interest. I often told my self when I was reading the book, “I would feel the same way if I were Judy.” I even felt sorry for her at times because she has been longing for a family of her own. Her character is believable enough that it will give you the feeling of empathy. Although she sometimes expresses her temporary hate towards her benefactor for being unable to see him when she feels very lonely, she still has the greatest respect for the old and bald man (as she imagines him). What I love most about Judy is that she’s always enthusiastic about the events in her life since she left the asylum. As I’ve already mentioned, this girl is funny, witty, and vigorous which make her likable. I will just give some really brief description and view on each: The following are the most important characters. Let’s talk about other things from the book. Upon searching some details about Jean Webster, I found out that her mother, Annie Moffet Webster, was a niece to the famous The Adventures of Tom Sawyer author, Mark Twain.Īlright. I guess the answer is “Yes.” There are parts of the book where Webster shares – via the protagonist – her views (prejudice aside) about religion, social hierarchy, women’s rights, etc. When I was reading Daddy Long Legs, I wondered if the author was actually making her social comments through the main character, like most writers do. They also feature great sense of humor, lively dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books enjoyable and perhaps agreeable to readers. She was an American writer and author of many books. Her books have vigorous and appealing young female protagonists who grow up intellectually, morally, and socially. So what made me write a book review on this literature? Before I give you the other reasons and my view, let me give you some brief details first: What made me attracted to it was the main character (which we will talk about more later) – she’s young, like a high school student (she’s actually in college in the book), clumsy, witty, and funny. I used to watch the Japanese anime version during summer when I was in high school (around 2004, I reckon) and I must say that I really enjoyed it. Well, I just downloaded a free copy of the book online and recently finished reading it. Nope, the book isn’t about a Pholcidae spider. ![]()
