Haunted Forest With Her Friend Diana example essay topic

I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. This book is about a young orphan child, with a never-ending imagination, named Anne. Anne has been taken in and out of orphanages all her life. Until, one day Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Miss Marilla Cuthbert, are interested in having a young boy to live with them. They called the orphanage and told them to send the child on the train. He goes to the train station to pick the child up, but to his surprise he found Anne.

Anne tells Matthew how she imagines living there would be like. She was so set on staying that Matthew just couldn't leave her at the train station. He takes her to his house, and while on the journey, Anne is enjoying every moment of the beautiful flowered valleys. Miss Cuthbert is very surprised to see a girl, and is displeased. She attempted to take her back a few times. After a while, Anne earns her stay there, and has many adventures.

She meets a new 'bosom' friend Diana, not to mention all the other friends she meets in the book. The setting helps make the story exciting. The setting is at Green Gables. Green Gables is a beautiful place with wild flowers and animals.

' The air was sweet with the breath of many apple orchards and the meadows sloped away in the distance to horizon mists of pearl and purple; while the little birds sang as if it were the only day of summer in all the year. ' If the setting weren't so lively, not many of the events would happen. An example would be when Anne goes through a 'haunted' forest with her friend Diana. This causes them to come together as really good friends and they have to keep each other company to get off the matter that the forest is haunted. They become really close through out the book. The way the author describes the setting seems to be an important period in history.

Also, the way she describes her school, what the teachers teach, the dresses the girls wear, the things they use at school, and there were many other hints. The problems and conflicts in the book were also a hint that helped me decide it was a historical fiction book. All the problems seemed realistic to that time period. Such as the teacher had to teach the whole class, and now, we have many teachers teaching many classes.

I really liked the book. It was very enjoyable to read. I would recommend it to my friends, because I think they would be interested in the things that happen in the book. If they liked it enough, I think they would read the whole series.

I liked the times she was at school best, because you get to learn about her classmates, and how she reacts to their behaviors. Such as Gilbert Blythe, she got mad at him for calling her carrot hair, and broke her slate over his head. There are many other students that she encounters too, and overall, the book was great.
