Favorite Quote and Passage
“Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say no when they mean yes, and drive a man out of his wits just for the fun of it" Laurie Laurence.
My favorite passage is a specific part of the story when Beth and Jo have a conversation. This is because it shows the true bond that her and her sisters have. They all truly love each other. In the conversation Beth gives a good analogy about each sister and their similarities with a different kind of bird.
Marmee March
Marmee is the mother. She is mentally very strong and always there for her daughters. She takes care of them well even with her husband off at war.
Laurie Laurence
The rich boy that lives next door. Laurie is attractive and soon draws the heart of one of the March girls.
Amy March
Amy is the youngest. She throws ridiculous fits because of her young age but tries to improve herself for her family. She is very artistic and enjoys nice things and new clothes.
Jo March
Josephine is the second oldest March daughter. She is like a tomboy and has a very bad temper.
Beth March
Beth is the 2nd youngest. She is very quiet but does enjoy music and books.
Meg March
Meg is the oldest March daughter and is very mature. She looks after and takes cares of her siblings. She has a very nurturing personality.
