Do all the elements of the story work together to support a central purpose? Is any part irrelevant or innappropriate?
Each element of the book works to show how Anne grows into a responsible spirited young adult. Since the book is written as a collection of childhood experiences, told through Anne’s eyes, each incident is used to demonstrates how she needed to learn how to be less romantic and keep her imagination in check. The specific incidences in the book are highlighted in the table of contents, where the title of the each chapter is descriptive of the upcoming event. With each incident, Anne learns a new life lesson; when she dyes her hair green, she discovers the horrors of vanity.
Each part in the book is appropriate because the story takes place over a span of five years. In that time, L. M. Montgomery selected the most crucial parts to be explained with detail. Any irrelevant scenes were skipped with the passing of the seasons.
