When I read this book, I could have always felt Anne's feeling.
Anne is orphan.Matthew adopts her and her life changes.
There were many fun,sad and hard things in her life.
Such daily lives of her are written in this story.
But sometimes I couldn't understand why she acted or said so.
If there is an oppotunity to meet the original book ,I want to read it!
Anne is very charming and cheerfully girl. She was a orphan, but Marilla and Matthew took her into care. First, Marilla feels unconfortable with Anne because she realy wanted a boy. But Anne is very obedient and kind girl, so soon she loved Anne, and she became loved everybody. Like Marilla and other people in her village, I quickly like her and enjoyed her life which is full of with trouble and love.
Anne is an orphan. One day she came to Green Gables, Marilla and Mattew Cuthbert's home by mistake. They want a boy to help them on their farm. But, a thin litle girl is waiting for them at Bright River Station . Anne , a funny and sometimes difficult child, changes everybody's life and wins evrebody's love. It was very heart-warming book, and it reminds me of days of childfood.

I love this before I read it. Anne is really pure and innocent girl. She can't accept any stuff without her justice. She is sent to a house as a orphan and grows up there with her new family until she becames a adult. She is very heartful girl. People around her are affected to remember pure feelings because of Anne. I want to read this story written more in detail again.
I have never read this book in japanese,but I read this story in english,I want to also read this in japanese.
Because Anne is a very pure and cute girl,I like her.
She gradually grow up in this story.I feel she is very charming girl.
The main character was an orphan. But she was going to be happy bevause she met Marilla and Matthew and she started to live in Green Gables with them. She studied hard and she became a teacher.
I love this book because I can get strength from her.
Main character, Anne Shirley, lived in Orphanage.
When she was 11 years old, she was protected by Cuthbert family.
For five years since she begins to live there, until she graduates from a Queen institute. This is a this book’s tale.
I know this story from to watch animation and to read Japanese ver.
I enjoyed this book but noticed that contents are omitted considerably.
If there is an opportunity, I would like to read the same upper level book.
