Anne of Green Gables I Study Questions 1 Good behavior is a subject that troubles Anne Choose two main characters from the novel and discuss the different ways each character approaches the problem of being good Anne was a girl who had always been talking and she could not stop to be quiet And another big shortcoming is that she could not do a thing without her imagination It seemed that she could not pay attention to one job for a long time I thought she could not be a good girl when I read the beginning of the book But later I realized that Anne was a good girl actually and in fact that she had been a better girl by learning from the mistakes she made For example Anne lost her tamper in front of Mrs Rachel because she laughed at Anne s appearance especially her hair That made Anne very angry Anne made her apology finally even she did not think she was wrong But maybe she knew she should be polite after Marilla s education And after that Anne made other mistakes still She had a fight with Gilbert She served wine to Diana that made Diana drunk She made a cake for Mrs Allan but she put liniment in it She was such a careless girl but through these mistakes she got a lot of experience that later she could do everything well So Anne became good by learning from the mistakes she made Marilla was a woman who played the role of mother She took care of Anne I think she was an interesting woman She became good by listening to others At the beginning of the story Marilla did not want to accept Anne because she wanted a boy Matthew said he wanted to keep Anne and his attitude was strong Marilla did not show her attitude at first but she thought about Matthew s feelings in fact And she also accepted the advice that she sent Anne to school She introduced Diana to Anne She made new clothes for Anne She agreed Anne to go to parties So Marilla became good by accepting others suggestions 2 Analyze Anne s characters with examples from the novel I think Anne was a girl who was true hard working and kind In my opinion these three qualities are the most beautiful ones in Anne Anne was a true girl When I read the chapter that Anne got very angry because Mrs Rachel laughed at her appearance her skin and her hair Anne shouted and cried stamping her foot on the floor She answered back that Mrs Rachel was a fat and clumsy woman I thought Anne was like me very much When I was a little girl there were many people said I did not as beautiful as my elder sister My eyes are too small And when I heard about these words I got angry too I would argue with these women too I think every girl wants herself pretty and do not want to heard these bad words So I think Anne was true and cute Anne was a hard working girl She was always competing with Gilbert She wanted to be the first Because Gilbert was an excellent student too so Anne always should be studying hard If Gilbert got the first this time Anne would try harder to get the next the first Their competition had been a long time even Anne herself thought that Gilbert was the power to encourage her to win Maybe because of him Anne could get the Avery scholarship finally Anne s kindness was the most touching part in my heart I was moved at the end of this story Matthew was dead of heart shock Marilla s eyes were badly ill and she would be blind in 6 months Anne gave up her scholarship and just wanted to be with Marilla I think it is because Anne wanted to thank for the love Matthew and Marilla gave to her She could not leave poor Marilla alone with a bad life So Anne made her mind to stay in Green Gables I think the best thing Anne could do was company actually 3 What role does fashion play in Anne of Green Gables Fashion was a line in Anne of Green Gables Fashion in fact was in everyone s minds especially Anne s mind Anne was poor and ordinary looking So she imagined everything beautiful and great She made pretty names for herself She imagined elegant dress She wanted puffed sleeves These were all the pursuit of fashion Even she wanted Diana to be her friend because Diana had a good feeling of beauty And then Anne never stopped her desire of fashion After she met Miss Barry Anne got the chances to concert party She got many gifts and she became more fashion I think that fashion was every young girl s dream so these girls in the story tried to be excellent and charming It was the true nature in people s minds especially these young girls like Anne And the desire of fashion showed that these girls were growing up and getting into the society gradually Another reason was that fashion was a little dream in Green Gables It brought people happiness and hope It made the story more true and interesting II Quiz 1 Why does Anne break a slate over Gilbert s head B A He makes fun
