For my next book, i chose Little Women by Louisa May Alcott .
This book is The Marches, a family who has to go through suffering. Mr. March (father) is in the army, and is away, and Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth are living in their home with their mother, Marmee. It is said that this book is about growing maturity and the search for happiness in a family life (enviroment). Some of the events that will happen will be Mr.March's sickness and Beth's terminal illness (scarlet fever). This book was written in 1867 and is a based on Louisa May Alcott and her sister's lives.
Louisa may Alcott based her life into Little Women. As soon as she wrote the book, it was an instant success. So the publisher asked her to make a second volume. (This i didn't know) The second book is called Old Fashioned Girl, made in 1870 about an year after Little Women. Louisa May Alcott wrote these books to alleviate her family's financial problems. These are some things i found out.
