About This Passage
After imagining herself as a grand lady, Anne looks in the mirror and happily decides she would rather be plain 'Anne of Green Gables' than anyone else. Copying it teaches young writers to capitalize the special name 'Anne of Green Gables' and shows that Anne is learning to love who she really is, now that she has a home.
But it’s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn’t it?
