Teacher: Carrie

 

In the book, "Anne of Green Gables," there were two people named Marilla and Mathew. They were brother and sister. They decided to get a boy to work for them. However, Mathew went out and got a girl. Her name was Anne. Anne was very cute, so they decided to keep her. Anne didn’t like that she wasn’t pretty. She had red hair. She had a girlfriend named Diana and had a great time with her. She met Diana at school.
 

One day, Anne gave wine to Diana accidently! Then, Mrs. Barrie (Diana’s mom) got really mad and didn’t allow Anne to see Diana. So Anne had to go to school to see Diana again.
 

One day at school, Anne met her rival named Gilbert. He was mean to Anne. For instance, he grabbed and pulled Anne’s hair. Anne started to hate him, so she thought she would take revenge. She punched him with a slate, and the teacher saw. Anne was punished and hated Gilbert even more.
 

One day, Diana’s sister was sick, but Anne cured her. After that, Mrs. Barrie apologized to Anne. Diana and Anne became best friends again.
 

After a few days, Anne and Diana were doing a play beside a lake. Anne was riding a boat for the play. Water started to come flood the boat, but Gilbert rescued her. Nonetheless, Anne still hated him.
 

One day, Anne went to the college. She met Gilbert again there. She and Gilbert graduated from college. Their dream was to become teachers. Anne needed to work in a school near her house, but Gilbert had decided to work there first. Because of this, Anne had to choose another school to work at. However, Gilbert gave up the job at that school for Anne. Anne said thank you to Gilbert, and they became great friends.
