Why I choose what I choose

 Having chosen the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I wanted to reminisce on what I previously read back when I was in the 4th or 5th grade. From what I remembered, a kid couldn't leave his room and spent most of his time missing his mother when his cousin arrived to stay at his home. There was this little girl who was orphaned after her parents were killed by a disease, Mary I believe, was then sent off to live with her uncle who lived in a mansion with his servants and his son.

I used to have dreams about the lesson I learned from that book and now that I am almost twice that age I wanted to see how different I perceived the story having gone through certain experiences of my own.
