Anne of Green Gables


I've seen that title before, but from where, I don't know. It, however, was much more appealing than the other books on Ms. singletons mini-library shelf. I picked it up, read it as my independent reading book, and surprisingly, as grim as I might be, I loved it. I doubt any of you would bother with it though, as Lackadaisical as you all are. I hate all of you and your guts. So I'll briefly go over it.

Title: Anne of Green Gables

Author: L. M. Montgomery

Main Character: Anne Shirley and her adopted parents Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert(they are siblings but they wanted to raise a child together. Nothing sexual at all going on here.)

Themes:
1) Growing up. You don't notice, but you change a lot over a few years.
2) Reality is merciless. As is death.
3) Never trust door-to-door salesmen. They gyp pretty damn hard.
4) Imagination is quite helpful when you're alone.
5) Never be afraid to be yourself. Even if someone else doesn't agree.
