One of my favorite books is called Little
Women by Louis Alcott.Little Woman was about four girls growing up in a
small house and their mother is having a difficult time dealing with her
husband away at war.The author shows you the rough time with dealing with
four sisters during the hard cold winters during the war and having to deal
with each other.The author uses very different sisters.They are all different
in many ways.Such as There names are Jo March,Amy March,Beth March,and Meg
March.Jo in this story is a tom boy and she likes to write storys and sell
them.Amy is particular about her looks and she wants to travel and go places.Beth
is a soft spoken person and she likes to play the piano.Meg likes to sew
and cook and eventually wants to get married.Little Women shows you how
great it can be to have a sisters and grow up together.Thats the reason
why I reccomend this book because it is very inspiring book.

One of the classics I read this year was Little Women. This was an
excellent book because it was really touching. It made you realize that
love in a family is cherishable.
It's about a family of four girls, their mother, and their maid Hannah.
Their father is at war and the girls are struggling to stay warm and not
starve. Although they are going through difficult times, they manage to
do good deeds for others and love stays in the family.
I really liked this book. It made me realize that working together is a
good thing and families are always together in some way. I'd recommend
this book to most girls.

A classic I would recommend to another person is Little Women by Louisa
May Alcott.
Little Women is about four sisters and how they lived without money and
their father, just each other.
I think it shows how close sisters can be, even if they do fight. For example,
Jo didn't want Meg to get married because Jo thought if Meg got married
she wouldn't have time for Jo. Finally, they talked it out and everything
ended up okay.
I also think it's heart-warming. When Beth got sick, all of her sisters
watched over her and made sure she was okay.
If you like heart-warming stories that prove you can live without money
as long as you have family, you'll love Little Women.

Little Women is a GREAT book. It is about a family of six whose father
is fighting in the Civil War. It is all about them growing up and what
happens to them. The four girls are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.
Meg is the oldest and is very ladylike. She wants Jo to be more like a
lady. Jo is very boyish. She doesn't want to do what the other girls do.
This book is told from her point of veiw. Beth is the kind and caring
one. Shes the one who pulls them through the hard times. Amy is the youngest.
She gets in trouble a lot.
If you like to read books where you feel like you are right there watching
them, this is the book for you. It is almost like you know them when you
are done with the book. I would rate this a 10! This is a wonderful book
and I hope many people read it.
