Anne of Green Gables
"Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it." -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
I have been reading the wonderful book Anne of Green Gables. If you have not yet read this book, and you do not want spoilers, you may want to stop reading here.
In 1908 Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables, published this classic. Anne of Green Gables tells us about a young, sprightly, red headed girl who lives in an orphanage for most of her young life. Eventually, she is adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert who are brother and sister. There she grows up on a beautiful farm which is called Green Gables, and there she lives happily for the rest of her childhood.
Although she lives peacefully away from the orphanage, she does have a burden that takes away some of the contentment in her life. She is vain and would do anything to change her long, red hair. She dyes her hair green during the book, showing her unhappiness with it. Anne's vanity grows out of control and because she has ruined her hair, she now has to cut it all off. She begins to learn that her hair is not the most important thing in her life and overcomes her vanity.
Anne has a talkative mouth and most of the pages of this book are filled with her chattering. She has a never ending imagination and thoughts, and always uses beautiful words which inspires the reader.
When Mrs. Rachel Lind, Marilla's friend first meets Anne, she is surprised by the tall and skinny redheaded girl in front of her. She offends Anne greatly, and Anne returns with hateful words. Anne would not forgive Mrs. Lind for the world until Matthew helps Anne to understand that she needs love for Mrs.. Lind. He tells her that marilla will not let her stay at Green Gables unless she forgives Mrs. Lind and asks for forgiveness from Mrs. Lind. Anne longs to stay at Green Gables and with love and understanding she forgives Mrs. Lind.
Her greatest friends are Matthew and Diana. Matthew is a kind, quiet, positive old man who loves Anne, while Diana is thoughtful, beautiful young girl who Anne calls her "bosom friend." They were truly meant for each other, and have a bond no human can break. With the help of her friends Anne is able to overcome the troubles in her life.
Reading this book I learned how forgiveness is a very important virtue, and I love reading it over again and again.
"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world." -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
"True friends are always together in spirit." -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
