Sunday-School Disappointment

Anne attends Sunday school for the first time, wearing a plain new dress made by Marilla. She is disappointed by the lack of puffed sleeves and feels out of place among the other girls who have them. She also finds the Sunday-school teacher, Miss Rogerson, uninspiring. Anne's imaginative mind wanders during the long sermon, and she later tells Marilla about her experience, criticizing the minister's lack of imagination. This chapter highlights Anne's struggle to fit in and her unique perspective on religion.
