Human connection is a central theme of the book and Pollyanna begins to engage with broader cultural and moral questions of her society before departing the country.

Meanwhile, naive, relentlessly positive, literal-minded Pollyanna, often oblivious to the structure of society around her, slowly comes to understand the dire, grinding poverty, isolation, and alienation that turn-of-the-century Boston was also home to. While in Boston, Pollyanna observes her hostâs isolation and depression, which sits in stark contrast with the opulence of her home and her material wealth.

Pollyanna is to be her âcure.â After leaving Boston, Pollyanna leaves the country with her Aunt Polly and doesnât return to Vermont until she is 20 years old. As she leaves the hospital, she is sent to stay with a nearby dowager, who has long withdrawn into grief, pining for her lost nephew. The first part takes place in Boston when she is age 13, having just been rehabilitated from severe injuries sustained in an automobile accident. In Pollyanna Grows Up we follow the titular character as she âgrows upâ through a story told in two connected parts.
