Changes In Anne Shirley's Characters
In my opinion, Anne Shirley's character has changed during this weeks chapters. When Anne first arrived in Green Gables, she was a very sweet and well mannered girl, who said her nightly prayers and never talked back. But during this weeks reading, we have seen that Anne can have violent outbursts.
While Anne was in school, one of her fellow classmates Gilbert Blythe pulled on one of her long red braids and whispered “Carrots!Carrots!”. Anne was furious and took her slate and hit Gilbert over the head with it, cracking it in the process. Anne has changed from a girl who never expressed her feelings in a angry way, to someone who now shows her emotions in a vicious form. Anne Shirley's character has changed from the beginning chapters.

    One of the most important relationships Anne forms is with Marilla. Although she does not want to admit it, Marilla grew fond of Anne fairly quickly, but in the film, she gives Anne a “trial period” and even threatens to send her to live with Mrs. Blewett, a wicked woman. Anne’s personality did not flourish until she felt secure knowing she would be staying at Green Gables, so the “trial period” weakened her high-strung personality during the beginning of the film. Another relationship, which was embellished in the film, is the rivalry between Anne and Gilbert. Their relationship in the film is romanticized and scenes of them are added, which did not occur in the novel. She often walked past him with her head held high and disdainfully, so a newly added scene about her approaching Gilbert at a ball in hopes of him asking her to dance is out of character for Anne. Despite the differences of their relationship in the film, they are able to look past their earlier encounters and form a great…

    The Changes in Anne Frank

    • 888 Words

    After reading Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl, a personal diary of a girl named Anne who lived in hiding during World War II, I believe Anne’s wise words: that no matter what the situation, every person is still good at heart, whether you can see it or not. My opinion on this topic was greatly influenced by reading this extremely personal memoir of Anne’s life in hiding and the people in the world around her. No matter how bad a person might seem, I, like Anne, believe that deep down inside, they have an ounce of good in them. When Anne, her family, and the rest of the people in hiding considered letting an eighth person into the Annexe, their hiding spot, with them, they hesitated at first, but after hearing the appalling stories of what happens to Jews, they decided they would always have room to save another innocent human being. Once the man was in the Annexe with them, Anne’s father said, “If we can save someone, then everything else is of secondary importance.” No matter the complications of an addition to the members of the Annexe, the other members realized that if they had not let the new member, a dentist named Albert Dussel, into the Annexe, they would have a heavy heart and they would have missed a chance to rescue a poor soul who was in as much trouble as they were, but by taking him in it proved that no matter how much harder their situation would become with a new member, the Annexe members had good hearts and took him in anyway. A while later, after nearly two years of hiding from the Germans, persecution, and being taken away, Anne began to feel that all of the Germans were evil people who wanted to exterminate all of the people they disliked in the world, up until a German general attempted to assassinate Hitler, the man responsible for all the terror of World War II. Anne was happy and found courage in this, because she said that this “shows that there are a lot of officers and generals who are sick of the war and would like to see Hitler…

    Anne is in pursuit to make her own happiness. She recognizes her moral capabilities, the regret of refusing Wentworth, has a passionate presence, and is self-critical. With each meeting with Fredrick, Anne grasps a better understanding of their relationship no matter how little or small, despite restrictive social relations. Anne “achieves an insight, faces up to a tragic loss, comes to a moral decision, or resolves and emotional problem” with every encounter (Thomas, 900). However, this eye-opener usually occurs in solitude. Such as when Wentworth removes her nephew from Anne states: “she was ashamed of…
