Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Summarize the chapter's arc, then identify the central tension Montgomery is developing in Anne's first day of being brought up at Green Gables. Evaluate whether the chapter handles that tension honestly or quietly tilts the scales, using the scenes that matter most to your judgment.
Discussion Questions
- When Marilla says that God does not mean people to 'imagine away' the circumstances He gives them, what view of obedience and reality is she defending, and why? How do Anne's responses in the prayer-card scene and her talk about the picture test that view, complicate it, or unexpectedly honor it?
- Where do you come down on Marilla's worry: did Anne's imaginative life carry a real cost, or did it preserve something a harsher realism might have crushed, and why? Use Anne's own words about Katie Maurice and Violetta to defend your view.
