10. Main Characters and part they play in the book:
(1) Anne Shirley -- orphan
(2) Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert – brother and sister who take Anne in, adopt her.

11. Are the characters believable and interesting?
Yes, because so many realistic things go on in this book. Anne paves her own way while relishing life at its fullest. She doesn't see things through "rose-colored" glasses but chooses to focus on the things in life that will build her up. She positively impacts her world in small ways that aren't always measurable

12. One excellent direct quotation from the book: Gilbert Blythe called her “carrots”: "He pulled her braids after calling her ‘carrots’ and then Anne smashed his slate on his head." (p. 141)

13. Good reasons to read the book: Anne of Green Gables is a cute and very interesting book to read and also had a very special meaning to it.

14. Any reasons not to read the book? I don’t think you should not read this book, but if you don’t like cute books, then I wouldn’t read it. to you but if you do then I highly suggest to read it.

15. I loved this book because it was so much fun to read and make you realize what it is like being a child.
