Today I’m going to write a chapter when Diana comes and sees Anne in Summerside….

Chapter 1

Diana walked swiftly up to the house that was truly magical… When she got to the front door, she heard a scream, “OH, someone’s coming in thru the FRONT door!” It sounded like it was coming from someone older, Suddenly Anne was standing right behind her. “ANNE!” Diana screamed, “It’s SO good to see you!” “You can’t come in thru the front door here Diana, Anne said with gleam in her eyes. “Why not?” Diana asked, “Don’t you always come in thru the front door?” Diana was very confused. “Normal people do, but you can’t do that here, we only use the front door, for special occasions, the last time it was used was for a funeral, hasn’t been opened since” Anne exclaimed.  As the girls walked around to the back door Diana was deep in thought, not using the front door was the weirdest thing she had ever heard of.

As soon as she walked in the door, three, older ladies surrounded, her nailing her with questions,  “how did the trip go?”,  Anne told us you are her best friend, is that true?”, “She also told us your married, hows your husband?”  “Diana just got here, could you please ask her those questions, when she can think straight?” Anne asked impatiently, she had waited for what seemed like forever for Diana to get here, now all of the ladies were going to talk to her the whole time? Anne grabbed Diana’s hand and pulled her up to her bedroom.  “So, how is your husband” Anne asked with mischief in her eyes. “He’s good, now how’s Gil-bert” Diana asked in curiosity.   “He’s doing good to” Anne answered, “But I can’t wait to see him again.”

When Aunt Chatty called the girls  down to tea, Diana got nailed with questions again…

Ok, How about one of you ask her a question and then she can answer, and you can take turns asking her questions” Anne suggested. For the next hour Diana answered a lot of questions, from her and Anne to what she likes to eat for breakfast and everything in between. After that it was time for Diana to leave, there was laughter and tears mixed in, as Diana said goodbye.

Today I’m going to answer some questions about the Anne of Windy Poplars book…

What did you think of Summerside as a setting and would you like living there? How does it compare to Avonlea, or Four Winds?

A:I like Summerside I think I might like living there but I think my favorite place is Avolena because that’s where most of the book is at.

In the book Anne of Windy Poplars it doesn’t really tell much about Summerside but, I can give you a description of what it’s like… Summerside is a smaller town, and it doesn’t have very many things in it, The house that Anne is staying in  though is magical, It is very colorful and pretty, but Anne’s room is the best… Her room. Anne’s room is the best of all because it’s like a castle tower room, Big windows, and tall ceilings!

Which character from a previous book do you wish were in this book (that’s not) and why?

A: I wish Diana Barry was in this book because I think that it would make it would make the book a little more interesting because Anne and Diana are Passim friends so they always have lots of fun when their together.

Today I’m going to write about what happened in Anne of Windy Poplars Chapter 10…

In Chapter 10 Dr.Charter came to Trix’s house and he was mad because he lost a game of checkers. Anne only made it worse by telling Dr.Charter that Mr.Cyrus was def and that he couldn’t hear, and then they started coming up with a bunch of other lies, soon Mr.Cyrus couldn’t handle it anymore and he slammed down the vase on the table, it shattered and then they all a apologized and then he was happy and Anne hear that Dr.Charter proposed to Trix’s older sister 🙂

Today I’m going to write about what happened in Anne of Windy Poplars Chapter 9….

In Chapter 9 Anne’s friend Trix comes over and invites Anne to come to dinner at her house for the next night. The reason why she wants Anne to come for dinner is because Dr.Charter is coming to her families house for dinner and they want someone smart to be at their house… The whole family also thinks that Dr.Charter is going to propose to Trix’s older sister.

Today I’m going to write a summary of what happened in Anne of Windy Poplars Chapter 5 & 6…

In chapter 5 Anne went to the graveyard and got to learn a lot more about the Pringles. She even learned that the Pringles that are dead, weren’t as bad as the alive ones, they were much nicer. Anne got to learn about a couple that hated each other, on the way home from their wedding, they fought and disagreed, they hated each other  their whole lives… Later in Chapter 6 Anne is writing a letter to Gilbert in the letter she talked about what she had learned a the graveyard, She also told him about meeting with Little Elizabeth. Elizabeth talked about how she liked the dress she was wearing and how she wish her father could she her in this dress. That is what Chapter 5 & 6 in Anne of Windy Poplars was about.
