Anne of Green Gables (Annotated)

By: Montgomery, Lucy Maud

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThe novel is narrated in the third person and I love the way the author writes. The descriptions of the natural environment are very good: it is as if one were on the island where the story takes place. In addition, the book reads quickly since the descriptions are not dense and full of lyricism.The book starts with Anne's arrival, by mistake, at the Cuthbert brothers' farm. Anne is an early, talkative and imaginative girl who conquers them with her personality. Matthew is a shy man who is afraid of women. However, with Anne she gets along very well and loves her from the first moment she sees her. Marilla is an austere and practical woman, who finds it difficult to express her feelings. At first he wants to return Anne, but in the end he decides to adopt her and take care of her upbringing. She is the one who sets Anne's limits. Although sometimes she is very strict, she has a big heart and loves her as if she were her daughter.In this book Anne's life is recounted from 11 to 16 years and we see how it grows. It is a novel of the type coming of age. Anne has evolved over time. At first she is a naughty and fanciful girl, but finally, she ends up becoming a very studious and responsible young woman.The chapters where Anne's adventures in school are told are very funny. We see her befriending Diana and other girls. Also in school his rivalry with Gilbert Blythe is born, with whom he competes to see who is the best in the class. We also see what education was like at that time. Since Avonlea was a very small town, a single teacher had to teach all the students.Among the most beloved characters are Diana, Anne's best friend; Mrs. Allan, who is the wife of the new minister; teacher Miss Muriel Stacy, who introduces new teaching methods; Aunt Josephine de Diana, who is a very rich woman who befriends Anne and Mrs. Rachel Lynde, who is quite gossip and says everything she thinks without a filter (at first she has a bad encounter with Anne, but eventually they begin to get along better, besides being a close friend of Marilla).
