What was your favourite part or character?
|
My favourite character in this novel is Anne shirley. I
like her because she is a great and mature girl. Although Anne is an orphan
but she still
has not lost her imaginative spirit. She
has grown up and struggle in her life and now serves as the teacher of the
Avonlea school.

How is the plot
|
Story
began when Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea
school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert,
who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. The book soon introduces
Anne's new and problematic neighbor, Mr. Harrison, and his foul-mouthed
parrot, as well as the twins, Davy and Dora.
Other
characters introduced are some of Anne's new pupils, such as Paul Irving, an
American boy living with his grandmother in Avonlea while his widower father
works in the States. He delights Anne with his imagination and whimsical
ways, which are reminiscent of Anne's in her childhood. Later in the book,
Anne and her friends meet Miss Lavendar Lewis, a sweet but lonely lady in her
40s who had been engaged to Paul's father 25 years before, but parted from
him after a disagreement.
Anne
discovers the delights and troubles of being a teacher, takes part in the
raising of Davy and Dora, and organizes the A.V.I.S. (Avonlea Village Improvement
Society) together with Gilbert, Diana, and Fred Wright, though their efforts
to improve the town are not always successful. The Society takes up a
subscription to repaint an old town hall, only to have the painter provide
the wrong color of paint, turning the hall into a bright blue eyesore.
Towards
the end of the book, Mrs. Rachel Lynde's husband dies and Mrs. Lynde moves in
with Marilla at Green Gables, allowing Anne to go to college at last. She and
Gilbert make plans to attend Redmond College in the fall.

Who would you recommend the book to?

I would recommend this novel for everyone who
wants to make a research or analysis about novel especially from L.M.
Montgomery works. And also for people who has reading hobby and people who
need inspiration in their process of writing a novel or short story.
