Little Women part 2

Hello readers!  I finished reading Little Women and um SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
The sisters in the book are Amy, Jo, Beth and Meg.  This is a chart to help explain.

        SISTER           MARRIED                  KIDS                   DIED
JOSEPHINE        FREDRICK BEAR         2                     NOT DURING BOOK

MEG                    JOHN BROOK               2                       NOT DURING BOOK

BETH                  NO ONE                           0                        AGE 19

AMY                   LAURIE LAWRENCE      1                      NOT DURING BOOK

Josephine March  is one of my favorite sisters!  She wants to be a writer. She is also a tomboy. Josephine likes to be called Jo because she doesn't like her name. She is best friends with there neighbor  Laurie Lawrence. I don't think his real name is Laurie but everyone calls him Laurie so I don't know his real name!  Well everyone except Jo who for some reason calls him Teddy. 

I was so mad when Jo doesn't marry Laurie!  But instead Jo marries Fredrick Bear!  I can't really pick wich sister is my absolute favorite.  Amy is very proud and hates being poor, but like me she loves fancy houses and dresses.  Beth is very sickly and shy, but like me she likes music. Meg and me both like to shop and have fun and we are both overbearing older sisters!  Jo like me loves a good story and acts in plays and loves to read.

If any of you like listening to audio books, there is a program you can get on your phone or computer called LibriVox.  I listened to a lot of Little Women on Librivox. Except the only weird thing is that different people read every chapter so sometimes someone says " Oh dear! Now I've gotten my skirt dirty!" "Cried Amy." In a really deep manly voice and it sounds very funny!  There is also a very good book series called The Mother Daughter Book Club and I am reading those and they are very entertaining and in the first book they read Little Women. The books are very funny.

I was really mad when Jo marries professor Bear instead of Laurie, but I also liked it because it made a twist in the story that I didn't expect and I liked that and it was fun to watch Jo and professor Bear fall in love.

I am going to watch the Little Women movie with my Mom and I will give you a review of the movie next time I blog!  Also if you check the poll you will see there is a new one asking you who your favorite little women is. There is also a link to LibriVox so you to can listen to Little Woman on the computer Here.

Thats all for now folks!  See you soon!

  2. Hi Izzy!

    I should read "Little Women" again. I read it many years ago, however, it is a great story and is often referenced by others. I think I read somewhere that Jo is most frequently cited as the "favorite" character; and I, too, do like who she is as a strong, young woman, intelligent and someone who knows what she wants. I am happy to see that you are enjoying many of the classics as well as modern literature. Bon Literature Appetit! xoxo Nana
