The young heroine refuses to give in to her seemingly \u003cbr\u003egloomy situation and instead chooses to look at the bright side of things.\u003cbr\u003ePollyanna's adjustment to her new surroundings is determined by her optimistic \u003cbr\u003ephilosophical approach to life, which she refers to as \"The Glad Game\". A game \u003cbr\u003etaught to her by her father, it has one simple rule- to find the silver lining \u003cbr\u003ein every cloud, and find a reason to be glad in every situation whilst \u003cbr\u003ewithstanding any obstacle life viciously throws.
