Sara Crewe or what happened at Miss Minchin's follows the story of a young girl who is sent to a boarding school when her father leaves for a faraway land. At first, she is treated with admiration and comfort due to her wealthy background. However, everything changes when she receives news of her father's death and the loss of his fortune. From being a privileged student, she is reduced to working as a servant in the same school where she was once celebrated. Despite the sudden shift in her status and the cruelty she faces, she remains graceful and imaginative. Her inner world becomes a source of strength, helping her cope with loneliness and hardship. Through it all, she upholds a strong moral core, showing compassion to others even when she has little herself. The story explores themes of resilience, transformation, and the quiet dignity found in kindness and hope. As the narrative progresses, a turn of fate restores her position, but her true growth is reflected in the strength she gains along the way.
