Well i've just finished Anne of Green Gables today. I really enjoyed it, I enjoyed the fact that the novel follows Anne as she grows up, progresses, matures and has more faith in her intelligence. They key themes that have cropped up that i've found particuarly interesting are vanity, and how she is almost obsessed with being conventionally pretty. Also the way she is expected to behave because of connotations of other girls/social class typed thing and how she abuses these expectations. Similarly her vivid imagination plays a huge part in her life and continues to as she grows up and reaches the tricky stages of adolescence. I think I should be able to pick out some key things to write about, assuming i'll have sufficient comparisions of course!
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has been dispatched so should be here within the next couple of days so i'll start reading that:):)
