A beautiful pastoral poem and an ode to human nature-Anne of Green Gables

Classic books are called classics because they can transcend time, age, language and ethnic groups and become the nutrition for human spiritual growth.

This sentence is appropriate to evaluate Anne of Green Gables, a Canadian woman writer. Since its publication in 198, this book has almost become a household name in Europe and America. The novel has been translated into more than 5 languages for a hundred years and circulated around the world.

It is precisely because Anne was so loved that, with the encouragement and support of readers, Montgomery carefully wrote a series of eight books about Anne, describing her life experiences and emotional experiences in different periods.

What is the story of Anne that is so attractive?

The story takes place in a farmer named Green Gables in Afangli, a remote rural area on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The owners here are single Cuthbert brothers and sisters. Brother Matthew is shy and inarticulate by nature; My sister Marilla is neat, strong and critical. Both of them are not good at expressing love in words, but both of them have the simplicity and sincerity of working people and have very kind hearts.

Because of their advanced age, the brother and sister are going to adopt a boy from the orphanage, which will make the family more fun and help Matthew to share the work at home. But by mistake, what was brought back to them was a little girl-Anne. This is a thin little girl with red hair, freckles and big bright eyes. She lost her parents when she was a child, and she worked in several adopted families and experienced various hardships in life. But Anne is lively, optimistic and imaginative by nature. In the face of the person she loves, a small mouth keeps chattering, and many of them are her imagination.

Anne's sensitivity and liveliness deeply attracted and moved Matthew, who became a loyal listener of Anne and connected with her heart. Marilla sympathized with the little girl's tragic life and fell in love with Anne's cheerfulness. They took Annie in. Lonely Anne has a real home since then, and she has been warmed up by real care. And the green gables that have always been blocked have also blown a fresh wind.

Anne has strong vitality and rich imagination. The dull daily life makes her colorful and full of fun with her imagination. She named the trees blooming in front of the window "Snow Queen", and ordinary lakes and small ponds became "sparkling lakes" and "liuchi" in her mouth ... In her eyes, nature is so beautiful and charming.

At the same time, Annie's fantasy also brought her a lot of trouble and made many jokes. For example, sizing handkerchiefs, forgetting to put flour in making cakes, putting essence in baking cakes but misplacing painkillers, and dyeing your hair green. I was even scared out of my wits by my imaginary "haunted forest" ...

Anne's arrival added endless fun to the Green Gable. People around me have come to like this innocent and lovely girl.

At school, Anne's kindness and frankness also won her sincere friendship and care from her classmates. There was only one boy, Gilbert, who made fun of Annie's red hair, which made her very angry. They became competitors in their studies. Anne is smart and diligent, and she has always been among the best in her studies. Because she is full of emotions, her recitation is also excellent.

During the study, Mrs. Allen, the pastor's wife, and Miss Stacy, the teacher, also became good friends with Anne. They gave Annie spiritual guidance and influence, and their words and deeds almost became an example for Anne on her way forward.

Three years later, Anne of Green Gables not only grew up to be a graceful girl, but also successfully entered Queen's College. It took her only one year to get a first-class teacher certificate and a university scholarship. Life seems to have spread out a brand-new broad road in front of her.

This poor little orphan who was once abandoned is now a girl that both Matthew and Marilla are proud of. When Anne saw Matthew, who was getting old, working, she said that if they had adopted a boy instead of her, Matthew would not be so hard now. Matthew patted Annie's hand and told her, "I'd rather have you, even a dozen boys, Annie." Remember-I would rather have you than a dozen boys. Come on, it's not a boy who won the Avery scholarship, is it? It's my aunt-my girl-the girl I'm proud of. " He looked at Annie with a shy smile. That's a warm smile that Anne will never forget.

Unfortunately, Matthew died of a sudden heart attack because the bank that deposited all his deposits suddenly closed down. Marilla's eyes are also at risk of blindness. In order to keep the warm and friendly green gables, Anne decided not to go to college, stay in her hometown to teach, and accompany and take care of her dear Marilla.

Although Anne is aware that such a choice will narrow the road of life under her feet, she still firmly believes that the road ahead will open a quiet flower of happiness. The green gables that live together day and night, Marilla, who is like family, Diana, her warm and cordial best friend, Gilbert, who has finally made friends with like-minded friends, and Mrs. Allen, the pastor's wife … all these will continue to accompany her to grow up.

Reading Anne of Green Gables will not only be impressed by the simplicity and kindness of the characters in the book and their pure and deep love for each other, but also be attracted by the beautiful mountain village scenery described by the author. The green gables and even the small village Afengli are like a beautiful pastoral poem and a beautiful landscape painting. The scenery changes throughout the year are vividly described by the author.

Anne's strong vitality and rich imagination, like her kind and pure heart, bring readers a long aftertaste.

Everyone will believe that Anne, who is so full of love and warmth, loves the world so fully, and the world will definitely not return her disappointment.

These, or all, are the reasons why this book has been enduring for a long time, and it is still favored by readers after a hundred years.
