Interpretative Recount
Mary Lennox is a daughter is not
respectful and have bad tempered. She is not well and always with sour face.
Nobody like her. She was born in India, where her father is always busy with
his work and her mother just care with herself. They are not respectful to
their child. So, it is not surprise if Mary grew into bad tempered.
One day, when Mary nine years old,

nobody come to her. Because nobody come to her, she then singing in the bedroom
and then she asleep. When she wake up, still nobody come to her. Suddenly the
