Anne of Green Gables/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Matthew talking Marilla into keeping Anne, and Marilla buckling down. But Matthew better not stick his oar in!

* Oops, he does, by giving Anne her first pretty dress for Christmas. With puffed sleeves, no less!

* Not entirely a ''moment'', but Marilla coming to love Anne. If there ''is'' a moment here, then it is Marilla finally admitting her love to Anne.

 

* Anne trying and then succeeding in getting through to Anthony Pye.

 

* Anne's [[Heroic BSOD]] after hearing that Gilbert was dying. Yes, it's cliche. Yes, the monologue where she realizes she was in love with him the whole time is trite. But darnit, seeing the usually-poised Miss Shirley, pride of Avonlea, brought down to a shambles by one slip of the tongue of a child just shows how masterful L.M. is at making us feel what the characters feel.

* How about Gil finally getting the girl he patiently waited ten years for?

** It's one of the most heartwarming excepts ever (It's quoted from Tennyson's ''The Daydream'') and so perfectly exemplifies Anne and Gilbert's relationship in this book.

 

* Chapter dedicated to James Matthew's birth

 

* 7 years old Walter walking several miles alone in night to get to home, after he heard that his mother was dying. It turns that Anne was giving birth to Rilla
