Okay, I think I got it now:

However, what does that mean for the electron configuration? Does it make the molecule more stable that it's able to make these resonance structures? Can you please explain this part?

I really appreciate the help I get here.

Resonance structures organic chemists use for predicting chemical reactivity of aromatic molecues.

Okay. But how can I relate it to this certain molecule? And are the structures correct now?

resonance structures for anisole are correct.
