This libguide supports the study of Anne of Green Gables by L.M.Montgomery as part of the Year 7 English course. Anne of Green Gables is a novel about Anne Shirley, an 11-year old girl who is mistakenly sent to a two older people for adoption. Anne is a girl who comes from nothing. She has no parents. She has no money. She has no skills—she's all of eleven. And she's dropped into a family that has no use for her. By the end of the book she has everything she lacked before: she belongs, she's loved, and she's found her identity.
“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive—it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
Anne says this to Gilbert in Chapter 2.
