ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E01 Review



Scrumptious. Agony. Wonderful. Cherry Blossoms. Red Hair. Ugly. Skinny, Freckles.

These are some of my fav terms Anne spelled with an "E" used to express herself on the pilot episode of its 1st season. I am delighted, or I should say "Enchante". It truly brought me to the wonders of living on a beautiful farmland like the Green Gable. Actually, I really did not catch where Green Gable is, I heard the word Australia in some of their conversation. But I am pretty sure it isn't the Down Under, for I saw no kangaroo or wild animals roaming around the fields. It's obviously not in the Great Britain nor Ireland - I heard none of their accents on this episode. Well, maybe in North America, but I am not sure whether in Canada or what state in the USA. Perhaps I'll find out on the next episode.

I like the way Anne speak herself, especially the one she had with Rachel. I laughed - it brought me great delight. The way she compose every sentence make me feel I am hearing stories of make-believe or of the talks of wonders. Of course, I must admit, I felt sorry for her experiences before she came to Green Gable. The moment she said that she never had the chance to be a child breaks my heart into pieces. 

To tell you the truth, I already watched the first 2 episodes of the second season. It was an honest mistake, I thought I was downloading the two episodes of the 1st season on Netflix because it first appeared on the selection. Well because of that - I knew about Nathaniel and his gold affair and the testing of soil on the Green Gable. But no more spoilers. That's it then. Cheers! Good night! (I can say good night because I had a good one, and I hope you had too.)

The Gambia, a small but not insignificant nation of West Africa and is one of the most oddly shaped countries on the continent of Africa. The occupants of what is now The Gambia probably migrated to the region from present-day Senegal in which the country is completely surrounded by its territory, except for a small coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. The Republic of the Gambia comprises of a narrow strip of land, ranging from 24 to 48 kilometers wide centering the Gambia River. The Gambia was part of the African Mali empire when the first Europeans, the Portuguese, arrived in the region in 1455. Throughout the late 1600’s and 1700’s, Britain and France contested for trade in the area. The Treaty of Versailles of 1783 granted the territory around the Gambia River to Britain. Britain’s 1889 agreement with France, which controlled Senegal resulted the country’s uncommon borders. In the years following World War II, the Gambia progressively moved towards independence.

FAIRY TALES ORIGIN

Peoples of many faces and nationalities have enchanted in hearing and telling tales that carries someone away into wonders and a delightful land of make-believe where handsome knights rescue beautiful princess, where ogres and ugly witches are put to demise by charming champions and where a petite seed becomes a giant beanstalk that reaches high up into the sky where another world dwells with gold and treasures. Fragments of a 4000-year-old papyrus found in Egypt tells that Egyptians enjoyed hearing stories that sound much like those we read and tell today.
