Literary Letter

Dear Mamou,
Hello! How are you? I am reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The genre is realistic fiction. I really, really enjoy it. Here is my summary.
Little Women is about four girls; Meg, Amy, Jo, and Beth; that have problems in their lives. Amy; the youngest; has to go to mean Aunt March's house. Meg; the oldest; gets teased by funny Laurie next door. Jo; the second oldest; has a bubbling temper that explodes, and then Beth had a baby die on her lap from scarlet fever, and then Beth caught it! A problem for all of them was that Mother went away to cure Father when Beth was sick.
There is a lot of happiness, too. Jo and Laurie have jokes and races. Meg enjoys herself doing who-knows-what. Beth plays the piano and does other things, too. Amy draws and does somethings that I do not know.
That is mostly what I've read in the last couple of days.
The character I like the most is Beth because she never complains and I respect that.
Your granddaughter,
Palina

Thank you for writing to me. I too loved Little Women. Have you finished it yet? You didn't mention the ending. You don't care for people who complain? It gets tiresome, doesn't it?
See you soon,
Love Mamou

Thank you for the review. I haven't read "Little Women" in quite some time. If I recall, Meg was my favorite character because she's the oldest and I related to her since I'm the oldest. I also liked Amy because she was an artist. Love, Libby
