Anne of Green Gables

by L.M. Montgomery

books11

Anne of Green Gables, has been considered a children’s novel since the mid 20th century, but any age can read it, and love it.

Holly Holly
I’m happy to say that I read this book once.


Tyler Tyler
Are you sure?…



 
 

Holly:

It’s a children’s literature (or mysterious) novel that’s about a young Canadian girl who’s bright, talkative, imaginative, (around 11 years of age), that was an orphan. She has spent her childhood in orphanages, as well as the homes of strangers. There was a brother and a sister, named Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who resides in Nova Scotia that decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage, but through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne.

Billy Billy
I feel like you’ve read only ‘some’ of it.


Holly Holly
Yeah you’re totally right. I went on a girls trip to Las Vegas, and forgot about it since.



 
 

They wanted to send her back to the orphanage, but decided to let her stay. Marilla feels that she could teach and be a great influence on Anne, but eventually learned that a cruel woman in town wanted to take Anne instead. Marilla and Matthew fell in love with the girl, and they never wanted to give her up.

For a little review, the book overall (from what I read…) was pretty fascinating! It doesn’t matter how old you are, this book will always touch the soft spot in your heart. The writing is wonderful, and I found the story captivating and very easy to read. There is a realness to Anne’s youth and uniqueness and the life she creates for herself in the beginning in the story, I can’t imagine how the rest of it would be like..!

Holly Holly
I would gladly recommend the first three chapters to anyone who wants to be captivated by a timeless book that’s for all ages!


Tyler Tyler
You should really consider reading the rest of it. It might be getting better, or it even might be getting worse…

Tyler Tyler
I need to marry that woman…


Billy Billy
Good luck with that, friend.


 
 

Tyler:

I never knew who Marilyn Monroe was until I read this book. It all started about two years ago when I was in the mall, walking past a big book store that had a huge tall shelf filled with hundreds of these books. I wondered who that beautiful woman was on the front cover. Is she an actress? A singer? How come I never heard of her?

I had to purchase the book, went home and read some of it.books25 It was the best investment I have ever made. The pictures were just flawless, I hung them up on all my walls. I really fell in love with her. I needed to go on the search for this girl and marry her.

– –

A couple days after, I saw her on a TV commercial, saying she was going to make an appearance at the Edmonton Events Center next weekend so people can get her autograph. Of course I purchased tickets, I would be stupid not to. The weekend came, I arrived at the Events Center, and got in line. The line was soooo long I waited for about three to four hours, no lie. But I would do anything for the person I love.

Finally, it was my turn. She signed the book, then got up, stood beside me and the photographer took our picture. I did not want to leave her side. I got down on one knee, and asked her to marry me with no response. I kept trying to hold her hand and shove my tongue down her throat. She giggled at first, but then I guess I started to get too aggressive. She had to yell for security and have 8 of them unlatch me from hanging onto her for dear life.

Yes, I spent some time in prison for harassment, but at least it was to Marilyn Monroe. And I am still to this day, not ashamed for what I did.

Holly Holly
You’re a darn creep.


Hector Hector
I thought you were nice.
