Mom, this made me think of you a lot, since you got me to read Anne of Green Gables in the first place. You recognized me in her character long before I knew she existed. The boys were going to be "Anne with an E" if they were girls. (That name was just not special enough for our Luci.)
What fictional character do you relate to most and why?
Anne of Green Gables! Dreamy, lost in thought, reading all the time, following her heart even though that was not always the easy road, teaching school, even the red hair and smacking someone with her lunch pail...that was all me!
When I taught third grade at Smith Elementary School, we had a "Hat Day." I found a straw hat like the one Anne wears as a teacher (I couldn't find a picture of that) and made a long skirt and wore a frilly blouse...all the kids knew who I was! They all called me Anne of Green Gables! I loved that.
This picture is right before she smacks Gilbert with her lunch pail. I did that to a ridiculous boy in 5th grade...at Ustick Elementary!
