Plot Summary of the novel
In the series of novel of Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon-published in 1923, was the first sequel. The story portrays an orphan girl who is growing up in Canada. It is moreover similar to her Anne of Green Gablesseries.
It is story about a soulful, ambitious and lively girl who follows her dream to be a writer regardless of the bumps she faces along the way. Its starts off with Emily Starr, the main character, who never learnt how it felt to be lonely-not until her most loved father died. Emily was thus orphaned and was raised by her relatives after so. Emily is physically described to be a young little girl with pale skin, black hair and purplish violet eyes. She started living with her Laura Murray and Elizabeth and her cousin Jimmy at New Moon Farm on Prince Edward Island. Emilia had a hard time growing up with them.IlseBurnley, Perry Miller and Teddy Kent were her new made friends; each having a special talent which was ignored by their families. Emily was born with a special talent of a writer. Her relatives did not understand her interest and passion in writing. Perry’s Aunt Tom tried to promise Emily to marry Perry once they grew up and threated her that she would not pay Perry’s schooling if she didn’t do as she said. With her new joy towards friendship and the love given by Laura and Jimmy, Emily found New Moon amazingly fascinating and beautiful.
Bottom Line:
The story mainly contrasts how the outrageously courageous little girl, Emily, struggles over all the discouragements and disappointments to her destination which is being a writer. At the end of the book, she reads and recalls the old letters and diaries she wrote when she was at the New Moon and thinks how silly they were. This story highlights an important message that if we lead ourselves to our dreams crossing over the hurdles and problems we may face along the way, with great ambition and courage, the victory might be yours. It encourages the writer to never give up and keep on dreaming.
