my favorite part from the story little women
Answers
My absolute favorite part of this novel was the relationship between the March sisters. They seemed so real despite the fact that they were ideal relationships. They laughed together, cried together; they fought and they made up; they made sacrifices for each other and they took care of one another. You could see so much love that it really encourages you to love your own family a bit more. So many times during this novel I wished I could have hugged my siblings!
Answer:
Just a quick post today because I’m on the run but I had to comment on Chapter 14, “Secrets.” What a fabulous read chapter 14 was! I had an inkling that Jo was taking her stories to be reviewed by an editor but I was still on the edge of my seat, waiting for the results. I laughed out loud when she said that the name of the story that was eventually printed in the paper was “The Rival Painters” – I knew about that story! I didn’t realize Louisa was quite so overt in her autobiographical references.
Louisa does such a wonderful job of building and deepening the relationship between Jo and Laurie. The way that they both shared in her triumph over being published in the newspaper was very sweet.
I found the last line of the chapter very poignant – “Jo’s breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end.”
This book just gets better and better!
