Green Gables

Anne was curious about why murders, lynching and mysterious fires were taking place in and around her community. Every time she went to her mother for advice or discussion on race relations, she was immediately redirected to a subject less controversial. If Anne wanted to figure any of these issues out, she was going to have to do it on her own.

Anne’s story begins as an introduction into her childhood. She lived on a farm where her parents worked, as did all the Negroes that lived on the property. Her family lived in a small wooden shack; it had one large room and a kitchen. Anne is four years old when she begins her story. Anne and her family grew up very poor, both of her parents had to work. Her father did not make enough money so their mother could stay home and the girls rarely saw their parents because they had to work so much. Anne’s uncle George watched her and her sister Adline, he was only eight years old. Her uncle George did not like the fact he had to watch Anne, he wanted to fish, chase birds or go out to play, but was forbidden by the girls mother to take them out of the house. This angered George, whenever he wanted to play he would beat Anne, one day George is playing

Anne's was a life filled with significant events. The trial and home confinement of her father was the most significant of her childhood. The education she received from her father at this time would prepare her well for her own trial. She had a deep confidence in

Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.

To begin, Anne was a selfless, outgoing, and positive young girl that had to live in hiding. Anne was always positive during the time of the war,

The novel The House of Seven Gables conveys its messages through the usage of images, which is done through inanimate object or places. This can be seen in the house of the seven gables and the daguerreotype of judge Pyncheon. Hawthorne present these images in such a manner, that their original meaning in the novel is no longer applicable. While many see his writing style as a tedious form, such writing has made the images created by Nathanial Hawthorne. Nathanial Hawthorne may be seen as a writer with a tedious writing style, such as the long descriptions of the images in the novel. Nevertheless it’s an effective manner to use allegory in a novel.

These brief relationships help Anne to come into her own and form the poor little girl into the women she would

Anne’s father leaves the family after an

Matthew Cuthbert, one of the owners of Green Gables had no choice but to take Anne home. Anne was a very bright spirited girl and talked like an adult however, Matthew was very nervous and couldn’t make his own decisions. In the text it states,

Green Gables is a place Anne always dreamed of living, and, as soon as it seems all her dreams are finally coming true, the adoption turns out to be a mistake. Marilla and Matthew had intended to adopt a boy to help them on the farm because they were getting older. However, through some mix-up they were given a girl instead. When Anne arrives at the place of her dreams, only to find out it has been a mistake and that she will be sent back, she once again relies on the power of her own mind to get her through her difficult situation. She decides that even if she were sent back to the asylum, she would keep Green Gables always in her mind and be optimistic about her situation.

In the text, Anne tries very hard to care for her mother, and not be so mean. Anne used to be extremely furious with her mother. This was only because they did not thoroughly understand each other. Anne knew that her mother loved her, yet she also believes, “...she landed in so many unpleasant situations through me…”

When reading all of the feelings and events added together, two themes stuck out. One theme is that Anne was lonely. In the inside of her book she stated that “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support”. This shows that so far in her life she really did not find the right person to open up to and talk about her most personal thoughts. Another theme I found was being completely

Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery, Takes place on Prince Edward Island, Canada in the early twentieth century. Published In 1908, Anne of Green Gables has been read and loved by both children and adults. Even though this is a work of fiction, many times both boys and girls can relate to the situations and conversations of Anne.

Do you ever get mad when your parents say you can’t do something or go anywhere? Well, imagine how Anne feels being isolated in that room all day long, every day. The story "Diary of Ann Frank" reveals what it’s like to transition from childhood to adulthood in the modern life. The theme of the story is living in oppression and how it affects Anne as a person, both physically and emotionally. For two years, Anne and her family along with another family are locked up in hiding in a secret loft. “The diary of Anne Frank” shows us that sometimes family is all we got but we have to make the best of it and be thankful we have our family. Anne Frank quoted “we all eat and read like one family” (page 230) This statement tells us that no matter what

Children start learning from the moment they are born, and they pick up on almost everything that surrounds them. L.M Montgomery’s novel Anne of Green Gables is a prime example of children being influenced by their environment. Through telling the story of a young orphaned girl, we see the perspective of Anne, being mistreated, and genuinely not taught how to be a respectable girl for her time. If she had continued down this path, her outcome could’ve taken a turn for the worse, and important lessons told in the book would not have happened. Thankfully, when Anne is adopted by Matthew and Marilla onto a farm, we see her in a well-to-do home, getting disciplined, and being given the chance to grow to her full potential. In Anne’s personality we see her imagination going wild, and we also see her struggle to try and be responsible and live presently in reality, and not in her imaginative mind. With the two environments she grows up in, it is made very clear that Anne has been placed into a fantastic and loving home where she can grow up to be a successful woman. By the end of the book, because of her new home she becomes a respectable woman who knows her place in society, but isn’t afraid of pushing things further than others would. Montgomery has created a lovable character in this book that clearly shows Anne as a loving kind-hearted child and her good intentions displays a great example of how the environment a child is
