Anne of Avonlea

The first book, Anne of Green Gables was so good! That made me want to read the next book. I have not been disappointed with Anne of Avonlea. This book was made in 1909 and was published by L.M Montgomery. The book has exceeded my standards. The first book is about Anne growing up and becoming a woman. Now, the second book is about her being a woman and what she does with her life. I have to admit that I did like the first one a slight bit better because Anne was high-spirited and talkative. In Anne of Avonlea, you somewhat lose the young and fun side of her. However, Anne is still like that inside. You can tell that Anne is still a child. She lives with her mom, Marilla, because Marilla experiences serious eye issues. Marilla is not allowed to sew or read. They say that if she does she will become blind.

Anyways Anne becomes a teacher and it is all about her thoughts on teaching. On one page her, Gilbert, and Jane have a conversation about whipping children. Jane thinks that if it is necessary she will do it but Anne says she shall never whip a child! As always, Gilbert just tries to please both of the girls. He pleases neither. Anne does not find it easy to teach. She finds it quite hard at first and it might stay like that for the whole book. Anne always is very opinionated on topics and it is so interesting to see how she uses all those opinions in her life. I love watching Anne, as a young adult, become smarter and wiser. By the way, if you haven't read the first one you absolutely NEED to before reading this one. It gives you a history of the second book. In fact I would read all of the fourteen books in order! If you have any questions, any at all, like is "Anne happy with being a teacher?" I recommend you read the book! Thank you for reading!
