ANNE OF GREEN GABLES HARDCOVER SERIES

AnneвЂ™s unusual behavior, such as unintentionally getting Diana drunk to accidentally selling her neighborвЂ™s cow, does not drive Diana away, but instead reinforces their friendship. It is the perfect example of opposites attract.

Diana is the opposite of what Anne Shirley thinks of herself Diana is beautiful, but not as intelligent. Gilbert eventually pulls through, and he and Anne become engaged, and their life events together are further detailed in the rest of the novels in the series.ДЄnother impressionable relationship in Anne ShirleyвЂ™s world is her deep bond and friendship with Diana Barry, which adds a sweet glimpse of childhood friendship that lasts. It is not until the third novel, Anne of the Island, when Gilbert suddenly becomes deathly ill with typhoid fever, that Anne realizes how she has been wrong all along, and that her heart has always belonged to Gilbert, and his death would change the course of her life forever.

Their friendship continues to grow, but even though Gilbert makes his love for Anne very apparent, Anne rebuffs him due to her own insecurities and far-fetched fantasies of romance and вЂњtrue loveвЂќ. As their further schooling separates them and takes them to different locations, GilbertвЂ™s act of selflessness of giving up his preferred school to teach at so that Anne can be closer to Marilla, eventually wins Anne over. He on the other hand is smitten with her immediately and relentlessly pursues her, even a one point saving her from drowning. Although, Anne starts off with a negative impression of Gilbert ever since he makes fun of her hair color, she eventually begins to see him in a different light. Marilla, on the other hand, is a sensible and discerning woman, and does not let RachelвЂ™s tattle telling get in the way of her of raising Anne, or in the way of her and AnneвЂ™s growing relationship.ДЄnne ShirleyвЂ™s bold and out of ordinary behavior tends to land her in trouble, and it also catches the attention of of her classmate, Gilbert Blythe. AnneвЂ™s actions are especially noticed by the town gossip, Rachel Lynde, who is always eager to let Marilla know what she thinks of AnneвЂ™s latest antics, and Anne is not a fan of Rachel and has no problem in letting her know it. Set primarily in the idyllic backdrop of Prince Edward Island, readers can get a feel of small town settings and dynamics, both positive and negative вЂ“ the relaxed pace of life, the immense sense of camaraderie, and also how quickly talk spreads around the neighborhood. Marilla sees the potential in Anne, and her insight propels Anne to become the strong woman readers see in the latter novels. Although Marilla may appear stern and unfeeling towards Anne, Anne knows that Marilla truly loves her and only wants the best for her. Anne has a unrealistically romantic outlook of life, and is particularly sensitive of her outward appearance, especially her red hair, which any ridicule of it ignites AnneвЂ™s temper getting her into troublesome situations. Marilla begins to see similar characteristics in Anne that remind her of herself, and realizes that she must guide Anne as she thrives in the way of life, and also make sure that Anne does not make the same mistakes that she had. AnneвЂ™s talkative and emotional personality immediately wins over shy and reticent Matthew, but it takes a little longer for Marilla to warm up to her. Matthew and Marilla, especially Marilla, had anticipated for a young boy to be sent to them, but instead they are surprised and are given Anne. AnneвЂ™s world is forever changed when she is adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister who in their old age are looking for someone to assist them.
