LITTLE WOMEN

1.The story starts at Christmas is a house where four girl (Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth) lived with their mother. They father is away at the civil war and they live in a teenager atmosphere. The sisters are very close but they aren’t happy with their way of life because they don’t have much money and they are a poor family. Amy is very angry, beth is shy, Jo wants to be artist and she is very decided and Meg is a responsible girl.

A lot things happen to them and this makes them improve and change. They also meet Lourie and Mr.Brooke.

Finally the only girl who gets married is Meg, but to a poor man. It means that although they want better life things don’t change really.

2.In this story I haven’t found mystery scenes but have found a moment that the story changes. It’s when we the family March receives a letter saying father March has been wounded in the war. This new was terrible for the sisters and their mother. Then the mother had to go to Washington to be with him.

3.The story takes place in America in a town of New Year during the civil war .

4.The main character are:
Meg: she is oldest girl of all and she doesn’t like working and she wants to marry a rich man. Finally, she falls in love with a poor men from the village.
Jo: she’s second oldest, she loves literature, she is very secure and decided . she hasn’t grown up and she doesn’t want to get married.
Beth: she’s very shy, she likes playing the piano and she also very ill.
Amy: is the youngest girl and the most bad tempered. She only thinks about money and luxuries and herself.
Lourie: he is friendly with the girls and falls in love with Jo. He lives with his grandfather and he studied with Mr Brooke, his tutor.

5.The main character is Jo ( Josephine) because she is different from her sisters. She’s the second oldest, she looks after her sisters a lot because they love each other a lot.

She’s a little different from the others because she likes writing stories and plays and after she tells them to her sisters. She’s also peaceful, shy but very out going and she doesn’t to grown and even less get married.

6.Of all the characters, I can identify myself with Meg, the oldest, because she seems shy, quiet and is also a girl that tries to help and listen to the important people for her. I think that I look a little like her. Meg also is a little undecided and a little embarrassing at the first meetings and I’m very undecided and it’s difficult for me to decide when I really don’t know what I want.

7.My favorites moment is when on Christmas day father March appeared with Mr.Brooke. Mr.Brooke has gone to get to surprise the sisters and Mrs. March.
I liked the moment when Jo and Meg cried together father and all the sisters kissed and were very happy as were father, mother and Mr. Brooke and Laurie.

8.Reading the book I learnt words to understand the story such as dolls, that is a simple dolls,; also gossip are critical comments about other people. Play is a story that is acted in a theatre, I didn’t know that play also refers to this. And finally I learnt many other words such as wicked.

9.I would have liked Jo to have married Lourie and Meg and Mr.Brooke to go and live together because they would have together and grown also together so they would have not fear about the idea of being a polite young lady. As Beth also would meet a special person for her.

9.I like Little Women a lot and I would recommend this book because in the story hides something that refers when we are small and we were teenagers it’s difficult to change and dead with new experiences, especially like to Jo.
