Quote 3
All
the Beyond was hers with its possibilities lurking rosily in the
oncoming years—each year a rose of promise to be woven into an immortal
chaplet.
This sentence from Chapter 35 describes
Anne’s feelings about the future. Anne has made a great success
of herself at college and imagines her triumphant future. One of
Anne’s enduring and endearing traits is her eternal optimism. Even
as an orphan whom no one loves before she comes to Green Gables,
she maintains a positive outlook on life, eager for experience.
This quotation uses imagery from nature to create a link
between nature and imagination. Anne is very fond of nature, which
has always been a source of comfort to her. Though she has matured
and is thinking about the future, she reveals the lingering vestiges
of her childhood sentimentality.
