Brief introduction:
Little Women is one of the best-loved youngster’s stories of all time, based on the author's own youthful experiences. It describes the family life of the four March sisters living in a small New England community。 Meg, the eldest, is pretty and caring, loves wealth and wishes to be a noble lady; Jo, at fifteen is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author; Beth is a delicate child of thirteen with a taste for music and Amy is a beauty of twelve who is a little bit selfish but has a passion for art. In spite of the family’s poor circumstance, the four sisters have positive and optimistic attitudes towards anything. Home is the place of growth as well as the sacred shelter for them. They will listen carefully to their mother's teachings; will use their hands, fantastic brain to invent
innovative and soul-grooming games one after another. It is the happiest thing to live forever with who love them and are loved by them in their eyes. The story consists of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighboring Lawrence family, and their later love affairs remaining as fresh and beguiling as ever. The growing process of the four sisters is like a lovely verse of education.
Louisa Alcott demonstrated their strong optimism, their personality and perseverance without flowery or sterile languages. Also revealed to us are the great love and friendship.
Impression:
The whole book is simple and natural. It reads more like family diary full of love —— the simplest love in common life. The love of friend, family and respect are here and there in our life but frequently neglected. Little women does make us resume these love. It tells us how to have a heart likely to experience and treat love and to become more tough and independent for the love.
From the four sisters I have learned to be firm, not to be a complainer while not to be satisfied with all. Everyday of my life should bring me fresh hopes for tomorrow. Everyday of my pursuit for dream should be full of endeavor. Also I have realized that I ought to carefully find
everyone’s advantages instead of seeing only negative aspects through our colored spectacles. And it is high time to doubly cherish what we have own before knowing its value by death.
Having read the book from cover to cover, you may find Meg or Jo or Beth or Amy has stepped into your heart and left the confidence for you to go through rainy days in your life as they did. And what the author wanted to share with the readers through the things the characters had done and the words they had said make the book time-honored.
