Motives of main character.



                           ANNE SHIRLEY-  The protagonist of the novel. Anne is an orphan who is adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert and grows up on their farm, Green Gables. The novel follows Anne as she makes social blunders and tries to quickly absorb the rules of social conduct, religion, and morality that other children have grown up learning. She has difficulty mixing these social customs with her own unique sensibilities. Anne is stubborn, passionate, loyal, and intelligent. She loves beauty and fantasy, and wants to be a good person.
                          
                        When Anne arrives in Avonlea, she is a stray waif with a pitiable past, but she quickly establishes herself in Green Gables and the Avonlea community. She is not useful to Matthew and Marilla, her guardians, who wanted a boy orphan to help out on the farm. Still, Anne’s spirit brings vitality to the narrow, severe atmosphere at Green Gables. Her desire for beauty, imagination, and goodness motivates her behavior. Although some people, like Matthew, recognize Anne’s admirable qualities from the beginning, others misunderstand Anne and think her unorthodox behavior evidence of immorality. The very traits that make Anne unique and enrich her inner life also cause her to act passionately and stubbornly and to bungle chores. Reveries and daydreams constantly absorb her, taking up attention that Marilla feels should be spent thinking of decorum and duty.As a child, Anne loves and hates with equal fervor. She makes lifelong alliances with people she considers kindred spirits and holds years-long grudges against people who cross her. Anne’s terrible temper flares at minimal provocations, and she screams and stamps her foot when anger overtakes her. Anne lusts for riches and elegance. She despises her red hair and longs for smooth ivory skin and golden hair. She imagines that which displeases her as different than what it is, dreaming up a more perfect world. As she grows older, Anne mellows. Her temper improves, she ceases to hate her looks, she appreciates the simplicity of her life and prefers it to riches, and although her imagination still serves her well, she loves the world as it is.

                        This Story book project has helped me appreciate the book a lot. When you give student an opportunity to let the student write a summary of a novel. It helped in many ways because its one of the reason people need to read and understand the book, and in every books the writer need to take time writing the book so every books has an appreciation to us but literally we just don't understand the book thats all. This story book project has helped students to understand the book, because if this project doesn't occur then most of us don't read and understand the book so this really helped us a lot. Student needs to spend time reading the book and writing a summary it helps student cope with the book. Every author has an imagination before writing a book so when you start reading and go on the book, you feel appreciated with the book. For me, book report helps students understand the book and appreciate the book that he/she has chosen. Everybook may have different Genre or style but it has good idea and meanings in it. At first I didn't like this book but after I've done with this project I started to know more about this book and feel appreciated I understand the book more, too.
