And yes! If not that story, then definitely another! I'm determined. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-46176631064177839912016-03-02T08:52:46.527-05:002016-03-02T08:52:46.527-05:00Well...

And if not, there will undoubtedly be more to come :-) I would like to have you participating sometime!

One of these days I'm going to join in on one of your current ones. :)<br /><br />There is a lot of things going on under the surface of the story, I think. Alcott clearly had the desire to teach the young women reading her story that strong morals and a godly lifestyle were very important. I'm not complaining about that part! I just noticed how she emphasized it quite a bit. It really is a wonderful story for sure!

The sisters are so very different, at least when they're younger (as they grow, they become a little more similar I think). And the differences are much more obvious when they're young.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-67870608720146740582016-02-25T18:30:19.556-05:002016-02-25T18:30:19.556-05:00What a fun read-along!
