Little Women by Louisa May Alcott was my choice of classic novel. The novel was written so simply, yet the complexity of the characters will certainly challenge me. I believe one of the purposes of this blog is to encourage independent study and also the peer-evaluating aspect as well. Criticism or not, peer input always has a huge influence on any sort of my written work. Receiving ideas and comments from different peers, will essentially further my skills in personal writing.
Although that is a bonus to this blog, my main purpose is to -within the next few weeks- better my understanding of the complexity of each character. It intrigues me that Louisa M. Alcott based each of these characters on her and her siblings. To have the chance study Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, I may get a glimpse of Alcott's actual life over a century ago.
I also will hope to answer the important, pressing question: Should Little Women be considered a classic novel even though it was written for young adults?
I'm excited to finish my novel and get my study under way! On the right are some related links about my novel, the author, the sequels to Little Women, and much more.
