I read L.M. Montgomery’s beloved 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables and its seven sequels over and over
as a little girl. I would get to the end of the book eight and start again. Brave red-headed orphan Anne
Shirley waiting at a train station for her new life to begin is always on my mind. She is an inspiration to all of
us, kids, teenagers, and adults. Moreover, she taught me things that I still think about every new day. Smart
and joyful Anne has inspired a number of films, TV series, and stage productions. Anne is really big in Japan
thanks to a 1979 anime version of Anne of Green Gables. I suppose adaptations really keep Anne alive as
it’s clearly seen in the TV series Anne with an “E” now. The modern reader can learn much about life, love,
and growing up from this plucky heroine, Anne Shirley. I have been a big fan of her as she reflects great
moral values in her life. In every page, there are tons of life lessons which warm hearts around the globe for
generations. The first lesson I’ve learned from the book is that fun is a serious business. Everyone has a right
to joy which is quite revolutionary. Anne has a real gift for pleasure, which makes her unique. She made me
glad to live in a world where there are Octobers. The second lesson is that your imagination is your most
valuable possession. Never stop dreaming. We need hope and imagination in our lives as much as we need
hard work and responsibility. The next one is that accept yourself the way you are. Anne’s journey to self
acceptance is a reminder that we can find beauty in all forms, even in our own. And the last one is also the
main idea of the book. Part of growing up is about making mistakes, and making mistakes helps us grow
into better people. Thank you for listening to my presentation. This book really taught me how to laugh at
my mistakes and keep moving forward.
