ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is a realistic fiction written by Lucy Maud Montgomery and is about the life of a girl named Anne Shirley. Anne’s parents have died of typhoid fever when she was only 3 months old. She arrives at the green gables by mistake but starts to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, who owns the green gables anyways. Anne is an extremely talkative girl who always worries about her appearance, especially her red hair. Anne starts as a young girl who can hardly hold her tongue and is always getting into trouble when she first arrives at green gables. But over time, she grows into a smart, mature, and thoughtful teenager who is always surrounded by friends and liked by anyone who meets her. Anne goes through many conflicts and tough times. However, her optimistic attitude and vivid imagination turns many of the bad times into good times. Here are some of the things I learned from Anne.
First of all, imagination could make things better in dark moments. Anne is full of wonder. Her vivid imagination makes her see the world from a very unique perspective. The way Anne understands or thinks about things is never boring. Her special way of seeing things gives her a hope to look forward to no matter how difficult and tough the time is. For example, Anne has been living in a household where practically everybody ignores her, she uses her imagination to picture that she was living in a much better place and she finds her life more fun. She relies on her imagination in order to find hope in her bleak and lonely life before the green gables. Anne doesn’t give up her daydreaming when she arrives at the green gables. As a matter of fact, she even uses her imagination more mostly to encourage others. Using our imaginations would often give us hope and help us through bad times.
Second, mistakes are opportunities to grow and learn. No one is perfect and could avoid screwing up. The important thing is to learn from it and try not to do the same or do better next time. It is better to accept our mistakes instead of blaming them on other people. Anne has done a lot of wrong things and got into a bunch of troubles. One time she accidentally gets her friend, Diana Barry drunk. But instead of giving up and focusing on the bad parts, she bravely apologizes and learns a lesson from it. Mistakes are inevitable and everybody makes them. It is how we face them that defines us. It is good to learn from our mistakes and think of it as an opportunity to grow and improve.
Lastly, it is vitally important to forgive others and even us. Based on the point above, sometimes we need to give in to other people’s mistakes and give them a second chance. In the story, Gilbert Blythe offends Anne by grabbing her pigtails and embarrassing her in front of everybody in the class. Anne is angry at Gilbert no matter how much he apologizes. But in the end, they become best friends because she forgives Gilbert. This shows that people might surprise you and become your friend if you give them another chance. Anne often admits her own mistakes and asks for others to forgive her. She passes on the forgiveness to other people when they make a mistake. If we choose to forgive the people who screws something up and we might find our life more joyful and less depressing.
