She got her copy when she was eight years old and hasn\u2019t replaced it because the original copy means a lot to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables is about a feisty, redheaded orphan growing up in Canada named Anne. She bounces around between many homes and does not properly fit in anywhere. The story picks up with Anne\u2019s adoption by a brother and sister who are looking for a boy to help them on their farm. Once they find out Anne is not a boy, they make plans to send her back, which, of course, does not sit well with Anne. After some time, the brother and sister decide to keep Anne. Over the course of the novel, Anne learns to accept herself for all that she is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This charming novel is told from Anne\u2019s point of view, which is very \u201cfunny and silly [because] she\u2019s very dramatic,\u201d Dr. Fulfer said. Dr. Fulfer says that she likes this book because she feels herself to be an awkward person and never really knows what to say. This book was what told her to \u201cjust give it time\u201d and she will become more comfortable with who she is. This is Dr. Fulfer\u2019s favorite book and she highly recommends it to everyone, although she does not recommend the rest of the series: \u201cThe first one is really good but the others kind of suck.\u201d Dr. Fulfer says she read the first four or so books into the series but stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne of Green Gables\u2019 has influenced a number of other works. Both a prequel and a sequel, from two different authors, were written after Montgomery\u2019s death. The original story has been made into multiple films and TV-movies. A Canadian musical of the story first premiered in 1964 and tours around Canada every so often. It is estimated over 50 million copies have been sold since 1908 and is taught in classrooms around the world\u2014so take Dr. Fulfer\u2019s advice, and try out the world of Anne of Green Gables for yourself<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY KORE SEVERANCE &#8211; STAFF WRITER Dr. Kristen Fulfer, a new professor to the chemistry department, suggests reading Anne of Green Gables. \u201cI\u2019ve probably read it, like, 100 times!\u201d Dr. Fulfer says the cover of her paperback copy is now gone and what remains is pages held together by glue and paperclips.
