Daisy by Susan Warner
"Daisy" by Susan Warner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the young protagonist, Daisy, who reflects on her life experiences, starting from her childhood and moving through significant events that shape her character and understanding of the world. As the narrative unfolds, it explores her relationships, her education, and the contrasts she encounters between her privileged life and the circumstances of those around her. Theopening of "Daisy" introduces readers to the protagonist as she recalls the brightness of her childhood, marked by the pivotal moment when she became a Christian. The narrative takes a more somber turn when her father is injured, leading to a journey to Magnolia with her aunt Gary and a governess named Miss Pinshon. Daisy's initial sense of joy is juxtaposed against feelings of loss and confusion as she navigates new surroundings, particularly her struggle with the arrival of her governess and the responsibilities of education. Through her experiences and observations, including those of the underprivileged people living on her family's estate, the opening sets the stage for themes of faith, education, and social awareness that will likely develop throughout the novel.
