Discussion Post - Emily Climbs
Hey everyone! Sorry this is going up late. My weekend has not gone as expected. ANYWAY, I hope everyone has been enjoying Emily of New Moon as much as Anne of Green Gables. This is actually my first time reading Emily, so I'm really glad I had this community to motivate me!
1. What did you think of book overall compared to Emily of New Moon? Did you like it more or less?
2. Did you think the bargain Emily had to make with Aunt Elizabeth in order to go to school was fair? Would you have been able to make a similar promise if you were in Emily's shoes?
3. What about the new setting and living with Aunt Ruth? Did you miss New Moon, or were Emily's trips home enough for you? What did you think of Aunt Ruth in general, now that we got to see her up close?
4. What did you think of Emily's relationships with her New Moon relatives, especially Cousin Jimmy? What about Teddy Kent and Mrs. Kent?
5. Dean: creepier now than in the first book, or just misunderstood?
6. Outside of Dean, what did you think of Emily's relationships with the other boys: Teddy, Perry, and even Andrew?
7. Which moments from this book stand out to you as favorites? For those of you who are rereading this, have your favorite moments changed any?
8. What did you think about Emily turning down the job with Miss Royal and staying in New Moon? Did you want her to go, or were you glad that she stayed?
