I was also wondering how he felt whenever Judy talked about Jimmie McBride. You know, I was really wondering what was on his mind whenever Judy wrote about him (as Jervis Pendleton and not as Daddy) in her letters.

Jervis “Jervie” Pendleton, who also happened to be her Daddy Long Legs. Or to put it simply, History just bores me to death.įurthermore, one of my many reasons why I’d love to be Jerusha “Judy” Abbott was because of Mr. I’d rather focus on what is and what will be than on what was.

She loved History and I, simply, completely, absolutely, undoubtedly, hate it. She didn’t have a family while, I’m proud to say, I have a complete one. I’d start from the fact that I didn’t come from an asylum and hadn’t experienced what she had there. And there were more but there were too many to mention so let’s leave it at that.Īnd then there’s a reason why I used some in referring our undeniable similarities because we do have some undeniable differences, too. Judy and I have some undeniable similarities when it comes to character. I hope you get the picture I am never good with descriptions.īut after reading the book, I would surely appreciate anyone who’d call me Judy Abbott, because, as much as I hate to say this, my sister’s right. And I know some of you would agree with me with her ridiculous hairstyle that seemed to fly or seemed to be glued in the air. I never really found Judy, in the anime, pretty. I mean, seriously, she used to call me Judy Abbott because, according to her, we’re so much alike the carelessness and clumsiness, and, most of all, the face. Secondly, I sincerely regretted having to hate my sister before for calling me Judy Abbott. Say, how can I forget such when it was so repeatedly aired on TV? And in different stations at that. I honestly believed that reading it wouldn’t give me enough thrill for I can still perfectly remember the details of the anime. I must admit, though, that, at first, I thought I’d feel otherwise.

It had been made an anime in Japan in 1979.įirst, I should say, I really, really, really enjoyed reading the book. Daddy Long Legs is a classic novel written in 1912 by Jean Webster, and is about a girl named Jerusha “Judy” Abbott” writing letters to her Daddy, a benefactor she had never seen.
