A classical book called Anne of Green Gables, written by L.M. Montgomery depicted a story about an orphan who lived at Green Gables, a farm in Avonlea. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert were siblings who decided they wanted to raise a boy to work on their farm. They asked a friend who was already going to get an orphan child to pick them up an 11 year old boy. Matthew Cuthbert went the train station to pick him up. When he arrived, he was flabbergasted to see there was a young girl waiting for him instead of a boy. Her name was Anne Shirley and she had red hair and freckles but she was not very happy about that. She loved asking many questions and talking. Anne was just excited to be going to Green Gables. Marilla was not too pleased that they …show more content…
She even became bosom friends with a girl her age named Diana. Throughout the book Anne Shirley had quite an experience at Green Gables because she used her imagination more than anything, her red hair embodied the way she acted and felt about herself, and she was not like everyone else. First of all, Anne had a wild imagination unlike others. Matthew and Anne traveled to Green Gables and he was pointing out all of the different places and bodies of water to Anne. Whenever a name sounded too dull for Anne’s likings she would imagine a better suiting name for it. For example, Anne said “But they shouldn’t call that lovely place the Avenue. There is no meaning in a name like that. They should call it—let me see—the White Way of Delight” (Montgomery 18). This showed how Anne imagined the Avenue and what it was like. When Matthew Cuthbert was first took Anne home, she was asking him all sorts of questions and talking about the nature around him. “Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive—it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half …show more content…
It was portrayed when a boy in Anne’s class named Gilbert teased her about her hair and she became very enraged. “Gilbert reached across the aisle, picked up the end of Anne’s long red braid, held it out at arm’s length and said in a piercing whisper, “Carrots! Carrots!”… Anne had brought her slate down on Gilbert’s head” (Montgomery 111). This showed how sensitive Anne was about her hair and that she really despised it. This quote really depicted how Anne felt, “Anne Shirley, what have you done to your hair? Why, it’s green!” (Montgomery 216). She did not like the color of her hair so she decided to dye it and it ended out turning out bad. Anne always said, “You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. People who haven’t red hair don’t know what the trouble is” (Montgomery 56). Anne was convinced that red hair tempted her to act badly more easily than others. The way she despised her hair and complained about it every chance she had really described Anne at the beginning of the book. Anne did not think that the Cuthbert’s wanted her. She was upset because they wanted a boy but they received her instead. She thought that she was not good enough for them like her hair was not good enough for her. This showed that Anne disliked the way she was. She had not had a proper family until living with the Cuthbert’s, so she had not been loved properly until then. Towards the end of the book Anne started to like her hair the way

Anne’s thoughts and perspectives of stuff she encountered with, or the struggles she endured weren’t shown in depth in the film. Her curiosity and wonders of countless stuff weren’t shown to the best of ability. Anne was a young girl figuring out many new things in life, in the film however her thoughts aren’t really elaborated. Making the film less interesting, considering the book is a diary full of her encounters of war and the disruptive life that she constantly envisaged throughout her life. She says, “What does that matter? I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart. (20 June, 1942). This quote accentuates the way she wants to write stuff, in the film however she doesn’t
Growing up in rural mississippi, Anne’s family was very poor and surrounded by extreme racism. A few traumatic events near the beginning of the story seem to set a tone for the rest of the tale. In the first chapter, Anne’s house is burned to the ground. This is done by her cousin George, but Anne ends up with the blame. Anne is then punished for something that was not her fault. This is almost a recurring theme in the book, as Anne is continuously being punished or tormented throughout her life for having a darker skin color. Soon after this, Anne’s family is devastated when their father abandons them to run away with another woman. Anne’s mother, pregnant at the time, remains strong and finds a job in the city to support her children. Anne’s mother demonstrates determination and independence, and acts as a role model for Anne so that she too will not give up in the face of conflict and struggle.
Anne's life had changed by the Germans taking control. She could not go to her school, and was to attend the Jewish Lyceum. No Jews were allowed out on the streets at night.
...erything therefore she has no true confidants. She does not think she is pretty, but she is confident that her personality and other good traits make up for it. Through her writing, Anne comes across as playful and comical but with a serious side.
I told you why Anne had felt this way during her ordeal, and what this reveals about her character and her views about life. Anne is a strong and heroic young girl who has a heart for others and she is very compassionate towards others. Which is a great quality to have in that time period she was going through? No one could have done it better than Anne. She helped people look at the good in the situations she was never the one mention the negative things. You think how you would react to this situation. Would you be buoyant? Or would you be colorless in this and always look at the crummy never say anything positive. All quotes can be found in the collections book pages
Anne had poor health, suffered a difficult journey. In 1666 the family experienced a strong fire, which, among other things, almost entirely burned down the library where Anne received a good education (in the library had 800 volumes on the history, theology, medicine, political science); there is even a poem by Bradstreet dedicated to this fire which made so much harm to her family. Following these events, she developed tuberculosis, she lost her daughter. It was supported by faith, will, and help of loved ones.
Anne Bradstreet loves her children so much because she raised them all with pain and care. Bradstreet often talks about her children loving people, and people loving them, “And with her mate flew out of sight” (14) and out of her reach so she can not watch over them. Bradstreet’s strong Puritan heritage gives her unquestionable belief that God is watching over her children for her, and her children are watching for God. With this relationship between her and God, Anne Bradstreet accepts the departure of her children. In this poem Anne Bradstreet talks about success, “Coupled with mate loving and true” (23) this is Bradstreet’s idea of success for her children in this poem. Anne Bradstreet’s idea of success is so much more than just this line, in the fact that she wants her children to be educated, and live good productive Christian lives. All of these things are implied in the poem as simple as finding a mate and “flying” off.
