Little Women 10/01/09

Little Women is a book about four sisters. The oldest girl's name is Margaret, but they call her Meg. She is sixteen and very pretty. She was very nice from what I've read. The second oldest girl's name is Josephine, but they call her Jo. She is kind of the tough one of the family. At first I thought she was a guy because it was just the first chapter. The next to youngest girl's name is Beth, but really it is Elizabeth. She is thirteen years old and is everybody's favorite. She is very shy. She has a soft voice and her face is always calm. She is always cheerful. The youngest girl's name is Amy. She was mannerly. She had blue eyes and curly blond hair. These four sisters call their mom "Marmee." Their Dad was too old to be a soldier but he was a chaplain in the war so he was away most of the time.

The first chapter of this book is called "Marmee's Girls" because is introduces everybody. It is Christmas and the girls aren't getting presents because they are poor. But each girl has $1 to spend. Beth said they should all buy stuff for Marmee instead of buying what they wanted. Meg wants to get her some gloves, Jo wants to get her Army shoes, Beth wants to get her some handkerchiefs, and Amy is going to get her a little bottle of perfume.
