What Katy Did Next

vanaaegne (esmilmunud 1886) ameerika tüdrukuteraamat, mis väärib lugemist juba spst, et on ameerika oma ja seega teistsugune kui näiteks inglise omad. neid on tegelikult terve sari - esimeses ("What Katy Did") on Katy 12-aastane ja läbib hoogsalt kogu isikliku arengu, mis tal meile pakkuda on; teine, "What Katy Did At School" on meeleolukas internaatkooliraamat a la "Pikkjalg-isa", kus Katy on 16 ja kus minu mäletamist mööda eriti midagi ei juhtunud; ja kolmas on siis "What Katy Did Next," mis on sarnane "Väikeste naiste" selle osaga, kus Amy Euroopas rändab, aga Katyga (kes on nüüd juba 21) ei juhtu jälle justkui midagi. Likened to Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, What Katy Did Next is a timeless classic for both children and adults to enjoy. These memories were not mine. I was an English child, and the descriptions of small-town America in bygone years were alien to me, but of course I could enjoy these tales, and up to a point identify with the heroine, the:

I can't believe I'd never read this book before. I would have loved it as a kid! It's got exactly the sort of chummy flavor I've long valued, like the Anne books and the Ramona books. I would have spent a lot of time imagining I was friends with Katy, like I did with Anne and Ramona, when I was a kid. Oh well, at least I've read it now! And I have both sequels waiting on my TBR shelves! What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge is now published by Alma Classics. This fresh new edition is wonderfully illustrated by Susan Hellard. Susan Coolidge is the pen name of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey. The characters in What Katy Did were based on the author Sarah Woolsey and her family. Kekecewaan Katy ketika sampai di Inggris bikin nyengir. Dia sudah penasaran dgn rumah yg muncul di Mansfield Park tp kecewa krn ternyata daerahnya tidak seindah dlm buku. Yah maklum, Jane Austen mengarang ceritanya kan sudah nyaris seratus tahun yg lalu, jelas daerahnya sudah banyak berubah. The first part of the book shows how the children in the Carr family don’t behave very well and how in the second part they all learn a valuable lesson and work to behave and mend their ways. There are many wonderful lessons in this book.Papa (Dr Philip Carr): the children's father, a very busy doctor who has been a single parent, firm but understanding, since his wife's death when Katy was eight. Quite an accurate summary! I think Susan Coolidge did like traveling, though -- I read all the miseries in this book as partly realism, partly warning her (wealthy young American) readers not to expect their own European tours to be completely comfortable. But she liked traveling for the same reasons Katy does -- seeing picturesque new sights, meeting places previously known from books, and perhaps a bit of shopping (presents for friends of course!). That is the name of the street where Maria Crawford in Mansfield Park, you know, 'opened one of the best houses' after she married Mr Rushworth. Think of seeing Wimpole Street! What fun!" Eventually they head to England. The passage is a difficult one, very, very rough. They wonder if they have done the right thing. Katy really becomes the one for both mother and daughter to depend on. Idahoan songwriter Josh Ritter includes a reference to What Katy Did in his song "Monster Ballads" on his album The Animal Years.

Katy’s sister, Clover, is next in age to her. The two girls both go to a nearby school where they manage to get into quite a lot of mischief. The other children are Elsie, Dorry the eldest boy, Joanna, and little Phil, who is the baby of the family. Katy is kind to her younger siblings, but dreams of doing something “grand” with her life one day. Perhaps she will paint famous pictures, or save the lives of drowning people, or lead a crusade on a white horse. She also wants to be: “beautiful, of course, and good if I can.” In the movie Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch, a Steve Coogan fan says her name is Katy and he answers "What Katy did next". Overall, this was a pleasant read. I was initially a bit ambivalent about this series because the first book really swung from a domestic adventure to Pollyanna-ish, but having followed Katy through a few years, it’s safe to say that she’s a lovely character and one that I would like to be friends with. That said, I still wonder who would read this – the first book is for children and this is for older readers, but it’s so unlike today’s YA that I’m struggling to think of who else would like it! Both Father and Cousin Helen impart such valuable thoughts on life's lessons, and the story is told in such a way as to be wonderfully engaging and powerfully impacting. I can't recommend this enough! Katy is my favourite female character ever. I love Katy so much. I really related to her as a 12 year old, and I always admired how her flawed character moved on to greater Godliness. I’ve always looked upon Katy as a model and still now at 20 I find her motivating and encouraging. She starts out so silly and ends up so sweet and pure.Clover Carr: the second-eldest sister adores Katy and follows her in everything she does. Clover is pretty and clever with a cheerful disposition; she is described as loving everyone and is loved by everyone in return. Susan Coolidge shared her publisher, Roberts Brothers, with Louisa May Alcott, and What Katy Did helped satisfy the demand for naturalistic novels about girlhood that followed the 1868 success of Little Women. Like Alcott, Coolidge heightened the realism of her novel by drawing on her own childhood memories. [1] nagu juhtub ainult 19. sajandi lasteraamatutes, on paljulapselisest emata perest pärit Katy kooli lõpetamisest saadik kolm aastat eimidagi teinud ja teeks seda ilmselt ka edasi, kui helde naabrinaine ei kutsuks teda enda ja oma tütrega kaasa aastasele reisile Euroopasse, kõik kulud loomulikult kaetud. miks - no talle lihtsalt meeldib Katy (Katy meeldib kõigile, temast sai kohe esimeses raamatus paar peatüki jooksul tõeline ingel!) ja daam ju ei reisi Euroopas ilma kaaslaseta. seega asutakse teele; käiakse läbi Londoni vaatamisväärsused oktoobrivihmas, j��etakse ilma tõttu vahele Šotimaa, Pariisis sajab ikka veel vihma, Nice'is vihmasadu lakkab ja veedetakse imeline kuu või paar; siis tuleb edasi Itaalia, mis on ka imeline... ja siis minnakse koju tagasi. lõpp. midagi. ei. juhtu. (no kerge vihje algavale armuloole, mille detailide ligi meid ei lubata, ja väike draama kaasavõetud lapse haigusega, aga ei midagi võrreldavat "Väikestes naistes" kodus sureva Bethiga, eksole).

Karena suatu kejadian, Katy menggantikan peran Aunt Izzie yg selama ini mengurus mereka sejak mama Katy meninggal. Semua urusan rumah tangga dikonsultasikan pada Katy yg terbaring lumpuh di kamarnya lantai atas. In this book Katy Carr's neighbour Mrs Ashe has her nephew over who develops scarlet fever, which the Carr Family helps the unfortunate lady fight through. Amy, Mrs Ashe's daughter, is sent to stay with the Carr Family so as to avoid getting scarlet fever. Amy takes to Katy very kindly. Later Mrs Ashe (who later Katy starts to affectionately call "Polly Dear") decides to go on a tour of Europe and requests that Dr Carr allow Katy to accompany Mrs Ashe and Amy on the trip. Katy is initially reluctant (family obligations) but soon gets into the spirit of things. Before starting the tour, Katy goes to meet her friend Rose Red in Boston who is now married with a young daughter. She also meets Rose Red's mother and grandmother. The grandmother takes to Katy and later when Katy is buying gifts when she is on tour she remembers to buy something for the grandmother. Some girls of the Hillsover school (ref: What Katy Did At School) meet up again who were in the Secret Society they had which Katy was President of and they reminisce and joke. Lily, Katy's cousin, is in Europe already. The initial part of the boat trip in which Mrs Ashe, Amy and Katy travel in is difficult as they become ill but they all soon get in stride.

CHAPTER VII.

Written in 1872 and set in Ohio, "What Katy Did" follows the Carr family. Katy and her siblings are not exactly 'purposefully' bad, but they certainly don't stop to think about their actions either. That is, until one day something happens and everyone, though particularly Katy, learn the value of obedience, even in the littlest of requests. Susan Coolidge devoted her life to her literary and social activities. As well as children's books, she wrote poetry and edited the letters of Jane Austin and Fanny Burney. As an adult, I appreciated the leadership lesson and the fact that people who have strong leadership qualities can lead other people astray. Having these qualities actually means that you have a responsibility to learn to use them wisely and not lead others off the cliff. Nothing every stays the same, however, and Katy meets with an accident that results in her becoming bed-bound. The book takes us through a period of Katy's varying emotions from an expectation that she will soon recover, to self pity and depression when she realises that she will be invalided for a lengthily period. Fortunately for Katy, she has a wonderful cousin, Helen, who is a permanent invalid, and, with Cousin Helen's help, Katy is able to find a way to be useful to her family again and rediscover the joy of life, living and studying, even if it is from her bedroom. The other children are delightful too. Clover is a little sweetheart—Elsie is a darling—Dorry, Phil, & Johnnie are super cute and funny—Cecy is sweet. Cousin Helen is wonderful; Papa is one of the best fictional fathers ever; Aunt Izzy is such a thought-provoking character and you do grow fond of her. The servants are all funny and stand out from each other, as do all the townspeople. Coolidge nailed the art of creating unimportant but interesting people.

Even some people who aren't really familiar with this one recognise it as the one where she gets a marriage proposal on a gondola in Venice. And cover designers understandably make the most of that. When I was little, I read a ton of older children's books. I read authors like L. M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Eleanor H. Porter, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Margaret Sidney, and so on. For whatever reason, I totally missed reading any of Susan Coolidge's Katy series, though I was aware that they existed. This is possibly why I did not enjoy them much when I read them at age 24.Dorry Carr: a stolid boy and great eater, the fourth Carr is the eldest son. He develops a certain mechanical skill over time. At the beginning we have the traditional flurry of presents from the Carr family as holiday gifts and even a visit to Rose Red in Boston who now has a husband and her own little Rose Bud! This was very much in keeping with the tone and feeling of the last two books. Katy is wild in nature, loves getting messy, telling exciting stories and generally, enjoys living. Of course, her aunt Izzy hates this and wants her to be the model woman. Her aunt Helen arrives who can literally do no wrong to a single being, and I personally think her character spoiled the book. the Carr children and the novel's protagonist. At the beginning of the book she is a twelve-year-old tomboy, who much prefers running around outdoors to quiet 'ladylike' pursuits, and so tears her clothes and is always untidy; however, she longs to be good. I particularly loved Katy's journey through story-book England. Katy had a penchant for visiting places she had read about in novels, one such being 'Wimpole Street'.
