Anne of Green Gables: Blog

Anne Blog

I have recently begun watching Netflix's Original show Anne with an E and began remembering the book, this show is not for the young, but an older audience able to understand and handle the reality of the era. 

Having seen an older series series, Anne of Green Gables, I am still not thrilled by this new series (only about 3 episodes in). Anne with an E does appear to follow the book more closely, even following many of the uncomfortable content of Anne’s earlier years as a “maid” of sorts to other families.

Anne of Green Gables 

Enough about the Series, as I said I will work on a review, this post is about an old school assignment I completed for a Young Adult (YA) Literature class at SJSU. This website was created as a final project for INFO 268 in the pursuit of my MLIS.

So, on the website, I provide information about the book but that is not all, I also provide interesting background and biographical information about Anne of Green Gables.

The blog provides a summary of the book Anne of Green Gables, along with a list of the characters present in the book. The book is actually the first in a Series about Anne of Avonlea. Under the L.M. Montgomery tab the website provides information about the author of the series.

L. M. Montgomery

The Historical/Social content explains information about when the book was set, as well as when it was written. Themes of overcoming adversity, growing up, and belonging are all discussed in brief paragraphs. The Literary Review tab has information about how Anne of Green Gables has become part of the Cannon of Sentiment. Along with sentiment, the impact of Anne globally is discussed on this page.

So, this blog post is simply about another blog I have created. To find my Anne of Green Gables website follow this link.

Another Blog: Illustrator Study

Well for most of this month I have been tied up working on final class projects. Two were blogs and the third a paper. I will be showcasing my Illustrator Study in this post. For the study, I looked at the work of two children's book author/illustrators.

I enjoyed working on the project for my Materials for Children class (INFO 263) at San Jose State University (SJSU) where I am completing my Master of Library and Information Science. I will have the degree completed, hopefully, this coming December (2017).

The above image is the first page of my project "blog" or I should say website. I provide information abut the two authors, Jan Brett and Rober Sabuda.

Screen Shot of Comparing Illustrators

Part of the Project included comparing the two illustrators styles. For this, I created the below image comparison and chart comparing their work/influences. This information is found on the website in more detail.

The above chart shows the information from the research I completed for the website and each illustrator. I found the similarities and differences fascinating. One similar influence was both were encouraged by their moms.  

This information and more can be found on the website for those who are interested in learning more about the two illustrators. Along with information about there is a brief bibliography of works for each illustrator including books written by each.

To view the whole project you can go to:

This is a finished project and will not be updated.
