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.
