LITTLE WOMEN
The first novel that I read this summer was LITTLE WOMEN by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT. The characters in this story are Meg,Jo,Beth, and Amy. Their father left to go to the navy and now these 4 girls live with their mother, and their nanny, Miss. March. Their family is poor. These 4 main characters are very similar to eachother. Like they all love to read, do plays, and write. In this story it's christmas time and Meg,Jo,Beth, and Amy only have a dollar each to by something for their mother and nanny for christmas. Then on christmas day they get one thing each that they wanted. In this story these girls are very greatful that atleast they have a family with them to take care of them and that they will always be with them. From reading this book I think that kids should be greatful that they have a family thats always going to be there for you. They should also undrestand that when you want something you might not always get what you want in life. I would recommend this book because it is a very good novel and it made me want to read it even more and hopefully if other people read, they would want to keep reading too.

Heart Warming Superb Classic
Louisa May Alcott's book has come to life in vivid detail and beauty. The casting is superb. The four sisters are a pleasure to watch and view as they develop into young ladies who experience both the pleasures and pains of growing into adulthood. The film depicts the changes in each character from adolescence and the growing pains associated with making independent decisions based on their personalities and values. As young ladies with education who grew up in a household where their opinions were heard and mattered, they stand in direct contrast with the majority of girls growing up at that time ...

In the attic, the sisters enact all the parts of a play which Jo had written ... it was a great moment when they invited Theodore Lawrence into their circle of friends. The individuality of each sister is quite evident. The film does a fine job of presenting each character, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy as unique individuals who blossom, each into her own personality, when they are forced to make choices and deal with building their own lives. The film shows the flow of everyday life around the time of the Civil War, when their father was serving as a soldier. The film does a wonderful job of showing the social structure and class differences of the era. The language, speech and manners of the times are well acted ...

The close bonds of sisterhood are threatened by Beth's illness, and eventual death. The film presents Jo, Meg and Amy as they develop into responsible adults with independent lives and interests apart from the cocoon of the family. Meg's courtship and eventual marriage to a school teacher/tutor is done well, especially the birth of their twins. Amy's ambitions of marrying into wealth and becoming a lady, and the value conflicts associated with this desire when she meets Theodore Lawrence in Paris is superbly done. Jo's move to live in New York at a boarding house, broadens her life experiences as she is challenged by Frederick, a German professor she bumps into by chance. Her wings are spread as she learns to fly solo within this new and challenging environment. Despite their differences, the sisters are forever connected by the bonds of family and love which makes the book and film an enduring classic. Erika Borsos [pepper flower]
