Analysis #2

When I had analyzed the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, I thought it was quite interesting. Throughout the book so far, I had the privilege of learning about the lives of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. I read what theirs relationships were like with one another and how they act around other people when they are together. I have learned that family is the most important thing for someone to keep. 

I infer, based upon what has happened so far in the book, that when they girls are all grown up, they will laugh at some of the things that they had done. We have learned that one of the sisters, Beth, has gotten a fever. The sisters took this matter very seriously and cared for Beth as often as they could. We have also learned that Beth had taken a liking to Laurie, a neighbor to the girls. But she had quickly learned that Laurie had a soft spot for Jo (until he marries someone else later on). It is stated when Jo hears crying coming from Beth's room and decided to investigate. Here is a short excerpt from the book. 

"Jo lay awake long that night and was just dropping to sleep when she heard stifled sobs. She flew to Beth's side. 'What is it der? Is it the old pain?' 

'No it's a new one. But you can't cure it. There is no cure.' Beth clung to her sister and cried and then laid her head in Jo's lap" (Alcott, 166)

This quote was what happened after Beth had relized Laurie fancied her sister instead of her. She was very sad but I infer that she will let go of the pain and focus on getting better.
