Little Women is a classic work by American writer Louisa May Alcott. Through delicate and realistic writing, it tells the life experiences and growth stories of the four daughters of the March family, who have different personalities, during and after the Civil War.
This book painfully and realistically describes the four sisters of the March family. Through their artistic talents, it emphasizes the importance of personal discipline and embodies the spirit of striving for success.
This book also describes the love of the March family through the emotional entanglements of family members. Among the four March sisters, whether it is Meg who is willing to live in poverty for love, Jo who becomes a writer through her efforts, Beth who faces death calmly, or Amy who takes it as her responsibility to help the weak, although their ideals and destinies are different, they all have the common characteristic of self-reliance.
After reading this book, I was moved and gained a lot of spiritual nourishment from it. For example, Mrs. March’s educational method. She is not only a loving mother, but also a close friend of her daughters. She influences her daughters with her words and needs and teaches them to be kind, brave, independent and grateful. Mrs. March often said: “I’d rather see you poor men’s wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace” (95). This unique educational philosophy deeply piques my interest, and I realize that family education is essential for a person’s growth.
In addition, the book also shows strong family affection, friendship, and love. The deep friendship between the four sisters, their mutual help, and their love all made me feel warm and moved.
All in all, Little Women is a work full of wisdom and warmth.
