Rosalind chooses to create a self-reliant personality, Michael pretends to be on the anti-deviant side and Anne tries to lead a normal life.

In the annex, Anne had many types of relationships with very few people. At first she didn’t like Peter Van Daan, because he was so shy and pessimistic. But as time wore on, she got closer and closer to Peter, and had a very broad love. Alas, this love did not last. Anne became annoyed with Peter, because he was so lost in her beauty and intelligence that he wouldn’t listen to her or give her any space. Her father, Pim or Otto, would always smother her with “understanding” but he never really knew how she felt. He would sympathetically explain to her that,”It’ll pass,” and that,”It’s just a phase.” Anne, however, wouldn’t have it. She wanted to be her own person, leave her own mark on the world. “I want to go on living, even after I die.”-Anne Frank confided in her diary. Edith, Anne’s mother, tried to get close to Anne and be what a mother is supposed to be, a supporter, and friend; a shoulder to cry on and a person who sees the best in you even at your worst. But Anne didn’t want to let her in, because when she did her mother judged her and put her down; made her feel like there was something erroneous about herself. Most people in my grade are in some kind of relationship.

She does not inquiry Antoine on where he is going, who he is with, nor why he decides to ditch school. Surprisingly, she chooses to completely neglect Antoine. She calls her husband, lies to him about her whereabouts so she can leave him with the full responsibilities of caring for Antoine. Her lack of good judgment sparks an argument between her and her husband. She clearly does not show him, nor Antoine any type of remorse for her behavior.

Catherine also visited Dr. Cohen. He provides Catherine with a copy of the academic publication of Dr. Lovaas’s work. He also encourages Catherine to use Lovaas’s research to devise and implement her own behavior treatment for Anne-Marie. Catherine took this to heart and they hire Bridget, an M. S Graduate student to begin providing Anne-Marie with a behavior

The medicine, food, and other materials are limited within the small space of the annex. The items that the group does have has to be rationed between everyone. Anne becomes frustrated quickly within the annex and how the other families act like nothing is going on. Anne says in one of her entries, “I don’t think Father has a very nice business. Nothing but pectin and pepper. As long as you’re in the food business, why not make candy?” (75) Even though she has become a bit more mature by moving into the annex, this shows that Anne is still a child at heart. A challenge she faces personally is her relationship with her family. She feels like her mother lacks love and wants nothing to do with he. Her father is strict and often punishes her sister and herself. The stress of the situation on her father shows throughout the diary and changes with the different situations that the family faces. Her relationship with Margret, her sister, is difficult due to an unlikeness between them not to much is heard about her. The one relationship within the annex that is positive is with Peter van Dann, who her father very much does not like, she often finds herself talking or thinking about him during the quiet day. As she matures, Anne

Anne retreats to her imagination to create a dream world, which often acts as a contrast to the environment she lives in. Upon entering Avonlea, Anne’s daydreams and fantasies often pull her away from reality, and she struggles to understand the social normalities and expectations within her community. Even in Anne’s earliest days at Green Gables, the reader gets a sense of her fanciful and dramatic character. Throughout the novel, she often expresses her distaste in her appearance; and is especially wordy when discussing her bright red hair, “I could endure anything if I only thought my hair would be a handsome auburn when I grew up. It would be so much easier to be good if one’s hair was a handsome auburn, don't you think?” (page 65). One of Anne Shirley’s most defining traits is her use of playful language. When discussing aspects of her life which she finds displeasing, she will re-imagine the situation in a more extravagant and romantic way and, in many cases, her fantasies are excessive and

Anne is maturing in regards of her relationship with her mother. Anne said that she used to be furious with mummy and sometimes still is. Anne thinks that mummy does not understand her.

Additionally, Cathy grows older and less wild, but she becomes more meticulous, patient, and wise because of her past experiences. When Cathy changes her name to Catherine she creates another person by name, but still has the same rotten core. Her decisions are not as rash as when she first is mentioned for she is no longer as young and wild as she used to be. Patience is one thing Cathy happens to learn very well now that she is growing up. Catherine meets a man named Mr. Edwards and he suspects nothing evil out of this sweet, innocent young woman. She is very good about pretending to be pure, and then she seduces Mr. Edwards into buying her a house they can stay in together. It seems Catherine starts thinking further ahead at her life as

Maries original state is a troubling one. She does not trust people, other than her parents, to lay a hand on her and

Although Anne and Harry challenge authority, they challenge their behaviour against their power and status in the community. Both Anne and Harry share the ideals as orphan children; however, Anne Shirley is merely an ordinary girl, in contrast to Harry Potter who is an extraordinary boy. However, both children respond to their behaviour differently in order to adapt to their community. At Green Gables, Anne works hard to fit-in, except her lack of control affects her ability to conform since she does not think about her behaviour. Therefore, she challenges the community because she does not pay attention. She easily messes up and causes problems for herself; as a result, Anne challenges authority against her inability to conform, where Marilla says, “Anne, you certainly have a genius for getting into trouble” (Montgomery 151). Christopher Parkes argues how Anne has no trouble challenging her power to draw attention to herself when she uses her imagination (168). Thus, Anne challenges her power to find innovative ways to reinvent herself and conform to the community. For that reason, Anne continues to create trouble when she has a tea party with Diana. Anne’s lack of focus cause Diana to become drunk when Anne gives her red wine instead of raspberry cordial. “I never though raspberry cordial would set people drunk” (Montgomery 151), Anne explains to Marilla, in regard to her mistake because

Anne feels alone and as though she does not belong with her family, they blame her and get aggravated with her. She feels confined to herself and that she has no one to turn to except her precious diary. Any fear, worry, or emotion was written in her diary, she relied on the reader to fall back on for comfort, to be there to listen when no one else would. Anne told “Kitty” everything she went through, all the pain and neglect, all the emotions she felt while living in the annex. She fell in love with the van Daans son, Peter, and could not tell anyone because she was scared of what they would think of her and an older boy who liked her older sister.

At first she feels great sorrow, but on making her decision to give up the scholarship she feels at peace with the decision. Even though Anne has had to forego material and social success, she has achieved a moral and spiritual victory. Although there is still sadness at Matthew's death, Anne finds fulfillment in supporting Marilla as it is her chance to repay all that Marilla has done for her. Also, Anne finds a new friendship with her old school rival Gilbert Blythe, and there are hints of a blooming romance between them as

Anne Frank has written down all her feeling good or bad, but realizes that the way she acted when she was younger was very childish. Anne wishes she hadn’t felt that way and created so much drama with her mother. Anne starts to notice that she is maturing with the way she acts around her mother.
