Anne of Green Tomatoes
Dustin Milligan
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing to clarify what the Charter right means and inviting the child to distinguish Anne's experience from the broader idea of personal security.
- Themes
- Personal security and rights: The conflict over painting the tomatoes is connected to the right to security of the person. The story is described as introducing children to the right to security of the person; how it explains or evaluates the conflict is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Anne becomes ill and sore after being painted, and the story describes a plan to protect the tomatoes from further harm. The extent or detail of these scenes is unclear.
