realize their kids only have the childhood once. Therefore, they who are not giving much attention and love to their kids will be alone in their old days.
1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
In this study, I discuss the topic of Pampered Children as the Effect of Parental Neglect Portrayed in The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I chose a
pampered children topic because that problem occurs in the society. Children bring the future. But, pampered children who are had been abandoned by their parents can
destroy their self in the future. Parents who lack of experience and education about children do not realize that they do some neglect. That does not always mean they do
not love their kids but they just do not well know how to treat and teach their kids. This is the reason why I choose the that topic. Educational background and
experience of the parents give an impact to their children. People should know that every people characters are shaped by their
experience and environment. They should not blame bad habit about others without knowing what causes that. Pamper characters is the output of those wrong situation.
Pampered or spoiled children cases occur around the centuries. Parent takes responsibility of those characters. If, the children are selfish and spoiled, there must
be a story behind that nature habit. Next, The Secret Garden is a classical children literature that impressed a lot
of reader. I choose the story because, firstly, the story is very interesting to read and can entertain the readers because this novel gives imaginative description. The story
in this novel could be a matter of the reflection of the parents to know more about the
world of the children. The characters in this novel Mary is a spoiled children, that is a result because her parents did not give attention as much as themselves. She has
servants that gave her all what she wants but she lack of love from her parents. Another character, Collin is a Mary‘s cousin who is isolated by his father, because of
that he has psychological disorder. They have same background which is being neglected by their parents. They also have same condition, they have servants to serve
their need. They tend to ask their servants arbitrarily, the servants have no choice to accept that. These phenomenons occur because Mary and Colin have less love from
their parents. They cannot learn how to treat people properly and care so much about others. The parents seem do not care about the impacts of their action. They do not
realize what they give to their children will affect children‘s development. Pampered children happen over the century around the world. The parenting
roles take a part of them. The happy kids will bring happiness to people. On the other hands, it can be ignorance for people who have unhappy childhood. Because they will
become a troublemaker to people around them.
