Anne of Green Gables

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla had decided to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. When a girl, Anne, arrives, they are surprised. In this excerpt, Anne has just awoken after her first night at Green Gables.

Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.

“I’m pretty hungry this morning,” she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. “The world doesn’t seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I’m so glad it’s a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don’t you think? You don’t know what’s going to happen through the day, and there’s so much scope for imagination. But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It’s all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it’s not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?”

“For pity’s sake hold your tongue,” said Marilla. “You talk entirely too much for a little girl.”

Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.

As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?

Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew’s way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.

When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.

“Can you wash dishes right?” asked Marilla distrustfully.

“Pretty well. I’m better at looking after children, though. I’ve had so much experience at that. It’s such a pity you haven’t any here for me to look after.”

“I don’t feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I’ve got at present. You’re problem enough in all conscience. What’s to be done with you I don’t know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man.”

“I think he’s lovely,” said Anne reproachfully. “He is so very sympathetic. He didn’t mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him.”

“You’re both queer enough if that’s what you mean by kindred spirits,” said Marilla with a sniff. “Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I’ve got enough to attend to this morning for I’ll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You’ll come with me and we’ll settle what’s to be done with you. After you’ve finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed.”

Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on, she made her bed less successful, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner time.

In Anne of Green Gables, how does Marilla respond to Anne's silence at breakfast?

Marilla feels relieved.

She starts to like Anne more.

Marilla grows anxious.

She wants to comfort Anne.

Answer:

Marilla grows anxious.

Explanation:

Here in the story: "Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural.", shows that Marilla grows nervous when Anne didn't talk.

In Anne of Green Gables, Marilla grows anxious which is a way Marilla responds to Anne's silence at breakfast. The correct option is C. The issue was the potential for Anne's cake to not rise.

Anne is a vibrant, curious person. She has a distinct perspective on the world, and we are the beneficiaries of the Haunted Woods, the Lake of Shining Waters, and many more creations of her mind. You can go far with imagination, and it may be a comfort when things are tough.

She rarely shows Anne her adoration, and when she does, she swiftly stifles those feelings. Marilla treats her adoptive daughter with kindness and justice, showing how much she cares for Anne. Anne can see Marilla cares about her and wants her to be successful as she grows up because of even her tough standards.

Thus, the ideal option is C.

Counterargument: If the government educated parents about the health effects of food with high amounts of
sugar, fat, or sodium, then parents would not feed their kids food with high amounts of sugar, fat, sodium.

Rebuttal: Even if parents have the knowledge they need to make the right decision, it's difficult to do so if

Read the paragraph below. What main point does the author make about the problem with over-using antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines that treat infections caused by bacteria. Antibiotics have saved many lives since their invention in the 1920s. For example, hundreds of people in the U.S. used to die of tuberculosis every year. Now, such a death is very rare in this country. However, today many antibiotics don’t work as well as they used to work. Some people use antibiotics when they should not—they take them for a cold or virus, which antibiotics can’t cure. Other people don’t finish their medicine. They just stop taking it when they feel better. In both of these cases, bacteria can become resistant to the antibiotic—it no longer works against them. Once a type of bacteria becomes resistant to an antibiotic, patients with that kind of infection must use more powerful and expensive treatments. It’s important for everyone to use antibiotics correctly, so that we still have effective medicines against disease. Don’t push your doctor for antibiotics, and if you are prescribed some, take them all, exactly as you’re instructed.
Some people misuse antibiotics by not finishing their medicine.
Everyone should use antibiotics for any type of cold or illness.
Using antibiotics the wrong way is making them not work as well.
Antibiotics are powerful drugs that can have serious side effects.

by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier
er with
white and bris
Then of thy beauty do I question make
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow,
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence
