Kanako's Reading Blog

  In November 1868, Laurie and his grandfather were in France. At first, they stayed in Paris. Old Mr Laurence liked Paris, but Laurie was not happy there. He thought about Jo all the time. His grandfather was worried about him. (p. 40) When I finished to read this story, I thought that the writer expressed each characters' feelings. In addition, the scene that Beth was in poor shape made me sad. If I come across such a situation,  I would like to realize my destiny and do something which I want to like Beth. Alcott, M. Louisa.

  This book is a story about four sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March. They lived in a small town in the state of Massachusetts, in North America. Mr March, the girl's father, was a minister. He worked at a church in the town. (p. 7)   This story has started the scene of Meg's wedding. Newli married Meg tried to make a wonderful family but suffered from lack of experiences. I felt that this is not unsual. Then she was temped by her friend to buy an expensive dress,  and she feared her husband. From this, I think that there are a lot of hard things when people are married to some people.  This story is long, so this blog will be continued next week. Alcott, M. Louisa. (2005). Good Wives.
