Chapter 27 Chapter 26 Form a Story Club

It seems difficult for the children of Yabangli to return to the old mediocre life.Especially for Annie, who has been in a state of excitement for the past few weeks, everything has become so monotonous and rigid, which is really unbearable. Will the peaceful, pleasant days before the concert ever come back again?In the first few days Anne gave up all hope of that. "Diana, I feel like I can never go back to that romantic life." Anne seemed to be talking about what happened 50 years ago. "Maybe after a while, I'll get used to it again. But once the concert started, it seemed like I couldn't satisfy myself. Last night, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I recalled the music again and again. The meeting scene, my heart can not be calm for a long time."

As time passed day by day, the students in Yabanli gradually returned to their former peace. However, there are still some problems behind An Ning.For example, Ruby Gillies and Emma White refused to sit at the same table in the class because they competed with each other on stage, and a three-year friendship fell apart. George Pai and Julia Bell hadn't spoken for three months.Because George told Bessie Wright that Julia looked like a big cock shaking her head when she called the audience after reciting on stage, and Bessie told Julia secretly. In addition, the Sloan and Bell brothers also fell out.The Bell brothers took issue with Brother Sloan's large number of appearances in the show; the Sloans retorted that the Bell brothers' appearances were pitifully small, but also belittled.

Also, Charlie Sloan and Moody Spaghetti John MacPherson were quarreling.Charlie Sloan gave Moody Spar John McPherson a backlash against Anne's reading, and Moody Spar John's sister didn't say a word to Anne all winter. Despite these petty disputes, Mr. Stich's kingdom is still running with regularity. This winter is a rare warm winter, with almost no snow.Anne and Diana can go to school across the "Birch Lane" as they do in other seasons. On the day of Anne's birthday, the two walked briskly on the "Birch Village Road", chatting and paying attention to the surrounding scenery, because Mr. Stich said that the recent "Winter, in the Forest "Walk in China" as the title, write a composition.So you have to take a good look at it.

"Tell you Diana, I'm 13 years old today," said Anne. "I have also become a girl, but what does it feel like to be a girl? I don't know yet. When I woke up this morning, I wondered if everything was different from before. Dai It’s been a month since Anna’s 13th birthday. You don’t feel like you have a new look, do you? I think life has become more and more interesting. In two years, I’m going to grow up. When I think about it, You can’t be laughed at even if you speak long sentences, I’m so envious.” "Ruby Gillis said that when she turns 15, she'll get a boyfriend right away."

"Ruby Gillies thinks only of boyfriends," said Anne contemptuously. "When her name was written under the love umbrella, although she also pretended to be angry, she was actually not so happy. Oh, I'm belittling others again. Mrs. Alan would never say this In other words, I want to follow Mrs. Alan as an example in how to behave and do things. Mrs. Alan is always so perfect, and the pastor seems to think so. Mrs. Linde even admires the road that the pastor's wife has walked. It is difficult for the pastor to be obsessed to such a degree. However, the pastor is also a human being, just like everyone else, prone to making mistakes of one kind or another.

"Last Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Arlan and I had a very interesting discussion for a long time about the fallibility of human beings. My fallacy is that I often think about people's wrongs and forget my duties. I will double it. Try hard to overcome this problem, I am already 13 years old, and I will become more mature in the future. "Four more years and I'll be able to put my hair up in the back. Alice Bell was 16 and already had her hair up and looked silly. I was going to wait until I was 17. My nose If you want to bend like Alice Bell, don't turn your head." Anne asserted. "Ah, no, I'm belittling and making fun of others again. This should be the end of the matter. My nose has been praised before, so I feel that other people's noses are not as good as mine. It's not vanity. Performance? But, to be honest, I feel very comfortable when I think that my nose has been praised.

"Oh, Diana, look, it's a little rabbit! Put it into your composition. Compared with the summer woods, the winter woods are as beautiful as the summer woods. They are white and peaceful, and all the trees seem to be asleep. , dreaming sweet dreams." "The teacher said that this composition must be handed in on Monday. The time is too tight. And the teacher said that we should consider writing some stories. It's really sad." Diana said with a sigh. "Isn't this simple?" "Of course, it's fine if you have imagination, but what should I do for a person like me who is born without imagination? Have you written everything?"

Annie nodded, trying her best to put on a modest look on her face, but she didn't. "I wrote it on Monday night last week, and it was called Rivals in Love. I read it to Marilla, but it was dismissed as a dull piece of work. Then I read it to Marshall, and was told by Big Quarter." With all due respect, I still like critics like Marshall. It's a rather sad love story, so I can't stop crying as I write it. "The story is about two beautiful girls named Cordelia Montmorency and Geraldine Shimoa. The two girls lived in the same village and were very close. Cody Lia has black hair and big, shining black eyes, Gerardian has blond hair and watery purple eyes."

"I've never seen anyone with purple eyes." Diana couldn't believe it. "I haven't seen it either. This is my own imagination. I just want her to be a little different from ordinary people. Gerald has a forehead like alabaster. I have an alabaster forehead. It took me a while to figure it out, which refers to the snow-white, smooth forehead. A 13-year-old knows more than a 12-year-old." "So, what happened to the two of you?" Diana asked with interest. "Both of them grew up to 16 years old, and they were still as good and beautiful. At this time, a young man named Bertram Davie came to this village and fell in love with the blond Geraldian. Once, Jay When Lardian was riding in the carriage, the horse suddenly became frightened and ran wildly while pulling the carriage. It happened that Bertram met him. Bertram stopped the frightened horse desperately and saved Gerardian. Bertram walked three miles with the unconscious girl of his dreams in his arms, and when he returned home, the carriage had already been smashed into pieces.

"The plot of the courtship is very difficult to write, and I have no experience in this field. I learned something by asking Ruby Gillies. Ruby Gillies has several sisters who are married, so I think she is here. Aspect is certainly authoritative. "Ruby said that when Malcolm Andrews proposed to her sister Susan, she hid in the warehouse in the main entrance hall and eavesdropped. Malcolm said to Susan: 'Your father in the name of Malcolm The farm is handed over to me, so let's get married this autumn. How about it?" Susan replied, "Well, I don't know what to do." Soon, the two were engaged.

"But such a proposal is not romantic at all, is it? In the end, you have to imagine it yourself. I designed the proposal in the story to be very poetic and romantic. Let Bertram propose on his knees, but listen to Ruby ? Kneeling to propose marriage seems to be out of fashion these days, Gillies said. "When Geraldian accepted the marriage proposal, I wrote a whole page. Just considering Geraldian's monologue, I spent a lot of brains and revised it five times. I think this can be regarded as my The highest masterpiece. Bertram gave Geraldian a diamond ring and a necklace, and the two plan to go to Europe for their honeymoon together. Bertram is very rich and wealthy. "However, things were not all smooth sailing. Cordelia's appearance cast a shadow over the sweet life of the two. Cordelia fell in love with Bertram secretly, and Geraldian told her When the marriage contract came out, she immediately changed her face, especially when she saw the diamond ring and necklace, she couldn't bear it. Her friendship for Gerardian also suddenly turned into hatred, and she vowed to herself that she would never let Geraldian married Bertram. However, on the surface she still pretended to be friendly with Geraldian as before. "One night, two young girls were chatting on a bridge over a swift and raging river. Cordelia thought they were the only ones present, and suddenly pushed Gerardian over the river, and looked at her The friend was swept downstream by the river, and Cordelia laughed like a madman. But, by coincidence, this scene was seen by Bertram, and he cried out in grief, "My dear!" Gerardian, I'm here to save you!" He jumped into the rapids, completely forgetting that he couldn't swim, and the two hugged each other before being swallowed by the river. The two bodies washed ashore soon after and were later buried together. "The funeral was very tragic and tear-jerking. Diana, it would have been more romantic to end with a funeral than a wedding. Cordelia was overwhelmed with remorse and ended up going mad and put in the hospital. It's what comes around." .” "It's wonderful!" Diana let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this.Diana was also a critic of the same type as Marshall. "I can't make up such a compelling story. If only I had an imagination like yours." "Imagination is a thing, as long as you cultivate it carefully, you will be able to master it to some extent." Annie said happily. "Diana, I've come up with a great idea. Let's start a story club and practice writing stories often until you can create independently, how about?" That's how the story club was born.It started with just Anne and Diana, and was soon joined by Jenny Andrews and Ruby Gillies, as well as two other girls who felt the need to develop their imaginations. The story club was closed to male students, although Gilbert suggested that it would become more prosperous if it recruited boys.The Story Club stipulates that all members must submit a work every week. "Story Club is fun." Anne introduced Marilla. "Everyone read their own works first, and then everyone discussed and commented. Everyone expressed that they would cherish the stories they wrote so that they could be read to their children and grandchildren in the future. Everyone wrote with their own pen names. My The pen name is Luo Yimende Meng Molunxi. "Everyone is working hard, but Ruby has become a little too sentimental. She puts some love scenes in her works as she pleases, and the description of love scenes is a bit overflowing. It's almost unacceptable. And Jenny , on the contrary, there is no love affair in the story, and she reads it with a shy look of embarrassment. Her stories are all very orthodox. Diana writes mostly murders, but she does not know how It was too troublesome to write the characters, so in the end I had to arrange to kill all the characters. Basically, I teach her what to write. If I don't teach her, she won't be able to write.I'm so inspired, it's not a problem for me. " "Your writing is still far behind," Marilla said contemptuously. "I just think about those stupid and boring things all day long, which delays my study. It's not good for you to read a novel all the time. As for writing novels, I think it's even more inappropriate." "But I wrote it to learn the lesson, Marilla. I mean, pay special attention to this point. Good people will be rewarded, and evil people will be rewarded. I just want to cultivate this kind of healthy spirit, the most important thing. That's the lesson, that's what the preacher said. "I read the story I wrote to the pastor and Mrs. Alan, and both of them gave me some useful opinions, but they both laughed when I read the failure of my writing. I am most proud and sad. The kind of thing that happened in my story, Jenny and Ruby, nine times out of ten, would cry. "Diana also mentioned the story club in her letter to Grandma Josephine. Soon after, Grandma Josephine wrote back and asked to send her some written stories. We selected the four best stories , transcribed it cleanly, and sent it to her. Josephine's grandmother wrote that she had never read such a wonderful work. We all felt a little weird, because our story is so sad, and almost all the characters in the scene are dead. up. "However, it's really not easy to make Miss Barry happy. The Story Club can also do something beneficial to the society. No matter what you do, it should be for this purpose. This is what Mrs. Alan often tells us. Although I want to I tried my best to do something useful for the society, but I unconsciously forgot it when I started playing. When I grow up, I want to be a person like Mrs. Alan, isn't it possible?" "I've had enough of it," Marilla replied.She felt that only by answering in this way could she spur and encourage Anne better. "Mrs. Alan is as forgetful as you are? What a boring girl." "Mrs. Alan was not as good as she is now." Anne said seriously. "She said it herself. She used to be a very naughty child when she was a child, and she always caused trouble. After hearing this, I can feel at ease. "Marilla, do you feel uncomfortable when you hear that other people have been bad and naughty before? Mrs. Lynde said it was not good. She said it would break her heart if she heard that someone had been a bad boy as a child. "Once upon a time, a clergyman told of stealing strawberry cream pies from his aunt's pantry as a child, and Mrs. Lynde said she could never respect the clergyman after that. "But I don't see it that way. It's amazing to think that a person can even say what he did. If the boys who have done something wrong and regret it now hear about it, they will think Maybe I will become a pastor when I grow up, so wouldn't that be an encouragement and encouragement? That's what I think, Marilla."
