Anne of Green Gables2



Hi! How was your day?


Today I read chapter 10 and chapter 11.

Anne never had real friends before living at Green Gables, so she was forced to invent imaginary playmates. In Avonlea, she meets Diana Barry. She is a neighbor, and Diana and Anne quickly becomes a bosom friend. Besides, they swear to be friends forever each other. Afterwards, Anne enters the school, but Gilbert Blythe, handsome and smart boy, calls her Carrots and pulls her red braid. Anne is extremely sensitive about her red hair, and Gilbert’s teasing enrages her. Eventually, she screams at him and smashes him on the head with a slate!

0ne day, Anne invites Diana to tea. However, she accidentally gives her red currant wine instead of raspberry cordial. Diana returns home with intoxicated, and her mother thinks Anne made Diana drink on purpose. Therefore, she forbids them to speak.

 I think that mothers cannot judge objectively when it comes to their children. Therefore, Diana’s mother forbid them to speak without listening to Anne’s saying.

Anne of Green Gables1



Hi, guys. How was your weekend?
 
Because I finished reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid last week, I started to read a new book. The title is “Anne of Green Gables”. It was so interesting that I have read from chapter 1 to chapter 9. I have watched this live-action movie, so I have known it roughly. Because of this, I can read it easily.

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are unmarried siblings. They live on their ancestral farm, Green Gables in Canada. Since Matthew is getting too old to handle the farm on his own, they decide to adopt an orphan boy to help him. He arrives at the train station and finds a girl orphan instead of a boy. The orphanage sent the eleven-year-old Anne Shirley by mistake. Anne is a talkative and happy girl although she leaded a poor life as an orphan. Especially, she is so imaginative and likes to fantasy various things. Her character fascinate Matthew, and he shyly tells Marilla that he wants to keep her. Marilla hesitates at first, but after a trial period, she agrees to let Anne stay on.

The most impressive thing in these chapters was that Anne emphasize “E” when she introduce her name.
