Analyzing protagonist Anne’s characteristic to know how she grows up：Innocence (independence, rebellion against tradition)—Temptation (longing for knowledge) —Runaway (study in Queen’s college) —Test (go to university or stay in Green Gables) —Lost (realize dream or obey morality) —Epiphany (stay in Green Gables shoulder the responsibility) —Self-understanding (mature). Through her own continuous effort, it can be known how Anne maintains her dignity during her interaction with her friend and herself in mirror. She continuously knows herself and rapidly matures by the intimate relations with Green Gables.

The paper comes to a conclusion: Anne’s personality charm is focused on the two aspects: Anne is full of optimistic imagination and curious about life, which become her two important treasures. Anne’s story will encourage more people in their growth process.
