In more detail...
Anne Shirley, dismayed by the plainness of her new dresses made by Marilla, attends Sunday school. She decorates her hat with wildflowers, adding a personal touch to her plain attire. At church, she's isolated and dreams during the service, unimpressed by the lesson and uninspired by the sermon. Despite her discomfort with her plain dress and the lack of kindred spirits, she finds solace in her imagination and looks forward to reciting a 'tragic' poem the following Sunday. Marilla, hearing Anne's critical thoughts on the church's proceedings, is secretly sympathetic, recognizing her own unspoken criticisms over the years.
