4º Significant Point: Anne decides not to go to Redmond College

After a year studying in Queen´s College, Anne won the Avery prize, what gave her a scholarship to go to Redmond College. When she came back from Queen´s College to Green Gables she knew something was wrong. Matthew looked a lot older and Marilla was feeling her head hurt often, behind her eyes. The other day, they received a letter from their bank and as soon as Matthew read that, he felt in the ground, Marilla and Anne tried everything, but was too late. After that Anne looked at the letter and it was saying that the bank has had to close down, so they had no money. During weeks Marilla and Anne worked hard at Green Gables, and when Marilla went to the doctor he told her to stop reading or writing, otherwise she would be blind in six months. When she told Anne that, she said that she would have to sell Green Gables and move to Mrs. Spencer´s house, that´s when she decided not to go to Redmond College and work to help Marilla to pay the bills, then she wouldn't have to sell Green Gables. 


3º Significant Point: Anne meets Gilbert Blythe

It´s the first day of class when Gilbert just came back from a holiday. Anne and Diana go to school walking and Diana tells Anne that she will meet Gilbert Blythe, a boy three years older than them and very good looking. She said she wasn't interested in boys but when they arrived at school she did look at him, he was a tall boy, with curly brown hair and a friendly smile.
In the middle of the class while Mr. Phillips, their teacher, was helping some of the older children, Anne was looking out at the window. Gilbert wanted her to look at him so he whispered to her, but she did not move. Then he out his arm out, pulled her red plaits, and said in a loud whisper: “Carrots! Carrots!” Then Anne jumped up and looked angrily at him, and then she said: “You horrible boy! I hate you!” and then she brought her heavy book down on Gilbert´s head.
Mr. Phillips heard the noise and came to ask Anne why she did that, and when Gilbert tried to say that was his fault the teacher did not believe and told Anne to go and stand in front of the class. There, lonely she thought: “I hate Mr. Phillips and I will never look at or speak to Gilbert Blythe again!”


2º Significant Point: The Cuthberts decide to keep Anne

When Matthew and Marilla decided to keep Anne it was a really cool moment. Matthew wanted her since the moment they arrived at home, and told his sister that he could hire someone else to help him with the farm chores, but she wanted a boy. She told Anne that she was going to sleep there and the next day she was going to take her to Mrs. Spencer, the lady that brought her from the orphanage, to tell her the mistake.
The next day, at Mrs. Spencer´s house, she said that if Marilla really did not want to keep Anne. She did not have to send her back because the day before Mrs. Peter Blewett told her how much she wanted to send her a little girl to help her. At that moment Marilla not even felt graceful to be able to get Anne off her hands. Mrs. Peter arrived at Mrs. Spencer´s house a little after and was explained what was happening. She said she would like to take Anne and if Marilla wanted she could take her at that moment. Marilla wasn't sure if she wanted to get Anne of her hands anymore and told Mrs. Peter she still needed to talk to Matthew, and if they decided to send her over they would call her. Coming back home Marilla decided to keep Anne and told Anne that the following afternoon, making Anne and Matthew really happy.

1º Significant Point: A surprise

I think when Matthew went to the train station to pick up the Orphan ha was surprised to see a girl instead of a boy. When he first got there he just saw a girl sitting by herself on a pile of shingles, she was thin, with red hair and freckles and was wearing a garbed in a very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish gray wincey. At first he not even noticed that and just walked by her to talk to the stationmaster about a boy that was coming for him. The man told him that there were no boys and that they left that little girl for him. Disappointed, he went talk to her about the mistake, but when he saw her he realized that he could not tell that girl with that glowing eyes that there had been a mistake, so he decided to take her home and show his sister Marilla that they sent a girl instead of a boy and let her tell Anne the truth that they wanted a boy so they´re sending her back.
