Montgomery.L, 1908, Anne of Green Gables, HarperCollins Publishers Inc. United States of America

I don't know what this book is about but from looking at the cover i think that it will be about a young girl who goes to a place that is new to her. She looks like a girl who is curious about all most anything! This book looks like a book where the character goes on an adventure and it changes her life! **Anne Shirley:** "A child of about eleven, garbed in a very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish gray wincey. She wore a faded brown sailor hat and beneath the hat, extending down her back, were two braids of very thick, decidedly red hair. Her face was small, white and thin, also much freckled;her mouth was large and so were her eyes, that looked green in some lights and moods and grey in others." Page.....

 **__Gables__** Author: __**L.M. Montgomery**__ || Modern – **__Title:__** Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire __** -Author: **__ J.K Rowling || The clues that show us that is because they go around in horse and carts and women don't have the right to vote. || This book is set in this decade. Because you can tell from the way they talk and from the technology they talk about in the book. Also you can tell because when they talk about the world in the book it is like everyday life now. || __Marilla-__ She is a kind old lady who thinks that thoughts should be kept to yourself and not said aloud, she enjoys having Anne as company. __Matthew Cuthbert-__ He is Marilla's brother and they both live together on Green Gables farm. He looks after the farm. He is very shy and hates talking to girls/ladies. The only ladies he can speak to without being nervous are Anne, Marilla and Mrs. Lynde. ||< __Harry Potter-__ He is called 'The boy who lived' because when he was a baby he survived Voldemort.

She and Harry are great friends. || __Anne & Marilla:__ Marilla does not know what to do with Anne when Matthew comes home with her because they were meant to be getting a boy from the orphanage not a girl! Marilla thinks that Anne speaks to much and while teaching her lots of other things Marilla trys to teach Anne that you don't always need to talk. Anne loves Marilla very much and is thankful for all that Marilla did for her to help her grow up. Marilla realises when Anne leaves for Queen's that she misses Anne very much. || __Harry & Dumbledore:__ Harry likes Dumbledore very much and he trusts him.

She finds out that she kind of likes Ron when the Yule Ball comes around and he doesn't ask but only asks her at the last minute as a last resort. Turns out that Viktor Krum asked her before Ron did. When she turns up at the ball with Viktor Ron gets very jealous. || a) Find examples of; colourful adjectives, similes, metaphor, dramatic irony, etc.. b) Find a quote (with page number) for each example. || The language in Anne of Green Gables is old english. The characters talk very proper, for example: "The little birds sang as if it were the only day of summer in all the year" said Matthew Cuthbert- From page number 12. They have a lot of proper adjectives and similes in the book, for example: A great crystal white star was shining like a lamp of guidance and promise- Far ahead a glimpse of painted sunset sky shone like a great rose window at the and of a cathedral aisle. || The language in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is modern day language. But they speak very English and they say many English words because the book is set in England. For example the boy characters in the book say "git" and "blimey" a lot (chapter 24). || My book has stood test the time because Harry Potter is still as popular and people still want to read it as much as when the first book came out. I think it will still stand the test of time even in the future because it is such a great and adventurous book. I think this book will transcend time because i think that lots of people will always like and want to read a fantasy/adventure novel! || Describe **//your feelings//** towards the novel. Did you **//enjoy//** it, why or why not? Did you find it easy to get into? Did you like it the more that you read it? Would you read more books by the same author, or of a similar genre? || Anne of Green Gables is a very good classic book. It's genre is children's classic. Anne of Green Gables is set in the mid 1800's and on Prince Edward Island. This book is not an easy book to read for everyone as it has many challenging words and sentences. Also this book is quite a difficult book to read because of the language they use in it (old english), it makes the book harder to understand. The main themes in Anne of Green Gables are romance, coming of age and personal conflict. The central conflict in this book is Anne wanting to see life a different way and try to imagine it a different way but people thinking she is weird because of that and not understanding her. Most people in the book thought Anne was a bit odd at first but those who got to know her better thought Anne was great and imaginative. I liked the book very much because it had a great story line and in some parts of the story you wouldn't want to put the book down because you would want to know what is going to happen next. At first the book was very hard to get into and i even thought i might change books because i din't find it exciting. But then the story started getting better as Anne grew up and went on many adventures in her own little world. At the moment i have just finished reading the 6th book in the series and there are 8, so i did enjoy this series a lot. This book is a great book! || Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is a great book if you like to read fantasy/adventure. This book is set in England, it is set in the muggle world and then Harry goes off to Hogwarts. It is not an easy book to read but it is not a really challenging book to read either. If you like to only read small (thin) easy books then this book wouldn't probably suit you as it is quite a large book! The main themes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are adventure, fantasy, romance and conflict. The central conflict in this book is when Harry gets his name pulled out of the Goblet of Fire many people think that he put his own name in.......but another one of the main conflicts is that doesn't know who put his name in the Goblet of Fire and why they did it and that gets Harry angry. I think this book is a great book but i have read most of the others in the Harry Potter series and in my opinion it is not the best out all seven of them. I found it a really easy book to enjoy and get interested in because it has lots of adventure. I would definetly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure. I am also currently reading the whole series of Harry Potter. ||

She is my favourite character because I like how she isn't afraid of many things and how she always dreams of things that will never happen but she still loves to dream of them anyway.

I am most like Anne because we both tend to daydream and talk a lot. || My favourite character is Hermione because she is really smart and loves being Harry's friend. Also because it is funny how she always knows the answers to things and she is always there to help Harry and Ron with their work.

They recite poetry at times in the book, for example: "//The little birds sang as if it were the only day of summer in all the year,//" said Matthew Cuthbert. This book has definitely stood the test of time as a 102 years later after it was first published this book is still being read by many readers like myself. My great grandma, my grandma, my mother and I have all read this book. This just shows that people still appreciate this book after all these years. I think this book will transcend time because I think there will always be a place for the classic romance novel. || Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is modern literature. They do not use old english or formal language for example. Part of the reason why it is modern literature is because the characters use a lot of modern slang and words.
