(0 Reviews)

In "Anne of Green Gables," the character Anne Shirley has a unique way of dealing with unpleasant names. When she encounters a name that does not appeal to her, she takes the liberty of imagining a new, more appealing name for the place or person. This imaginative method allows her to reshape her perception and experience in a positive light, reflecting her creative spirit and desire for beauty in her surroundings.

This perspective highlights Anne's strong personality and her ability to find joy and beauty in life, despite its imperfections. It underscores her imaginative nature and the transformative power of creativity, as she seeks to create a world that resonates with her ideals. Through this lens, readers see Anne not just as a dreamer but as someone who actively engages with her environment to enhance her reality.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
