Book Review of Little Women
Recently I have been absorbed in a book Little Women, and I learn a lot after reading the book. Little Women is written by American author Louisa May Alcott, mainly telling a growing story about four girls, Meg, Jo, Amy, Beth.
The four girls live in a poor family, with their father March leaving the home to follow the allies forces.However, their mother Mrs. March, a very optimistic woman, keep in high spirit with her daughters to go through the poor and difficult time. The four girls with four different characters gradually learn to love each other , overcome their shortcomings in characters and finally live a happy marriage life excepts the poor Beth who died unfortunately and early.
In the story, what impresses me most is about their generosity. It happened on a Christmas, Mrs. March asked the four girls to send their few breakfast to their neighbor, a poor woman with a little newborn baby. Although the four girls had been very hungry and waited for their breakfast for a long time, they still sent their breakfast as presents to their poorer neighbor happily, cause they thought they could help others. What a kind and noble heart they had. And their optimistic attitude moves me so much. I think if all human beings learn this kind of kindness and learn to be optimistic about and be grateful to the life, we will live a happier and more harmonious life.
Besides, I really appreciate Jo’s concept about love. At first, she fell in love with her rich, handsome and young neighbor, Laurie, who grew up with her in childhood. But she refused his love and met and chose a poor professor, who was nearly 40 years old and made a living by teaching. Cause she made it clear that she just like Laurie but didn’t love him. And she was deeply attracted by the professor’s merciful heart and they fell in love with each other and got married at last. In my opinion, Jo is very wise and she does know what she want and what she doesn’t want in love. And I think we girls should learn it from Jo to meet our real Mr. Right in our life, and at last live a happy life.。
