Chapter 8 was "Meg Has a Beauty Lesson." Meg was staying a few weeks at a friend's house in the summer. They were having a big fancy party and Meg didn't want to go to it because she didn't have anything fancy enough for it. So the friend's older sister decided to dress Meg up like a doll for the party. Meg felt rich and pretty. She saw Laurie at the party and he hated her outfit because it wasn't her. He also saw her drinking champagne and he told her not to drink too much of it or she would get a splitting headache. She didn't listen to him, and the next day she had a splitting headache. She learned that it is not good to not be yourself. If she would have just been herself in her own old dress she would have had a better time. Even though you don't have much money, you should always be thankful of what you have.
