I can't recall exactly when I read Little Women for the first time, but I'm guessing I was around 10. The novel follows the lives of four women—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy who grow and learn from their mistakes. I love it and have read it several times over the years.
1. Here are some of the lessons that I have learnt from the book.
It’s better to give than to receive.
The March girls give up their own presents in order to buy gifts for their hard-working “Marmee” and experience the joy of giving to someone they love.
2. It’s not so difficult to give to someone dear to us, but giving to someone outside our circle of family and close friends deepens our sense of empathy.
Money doesn’t buy happiness.
Both Aunt March and Mr Laurence, the “old gentleman” next door, have riches that anyone might envy（嫉妒）. 3. Aunt March is a woman who gets angry easily and is quite difficult to get along with. Mr Laurence can be rather crabby（易怒的）but we find over time that he is actually rather kind. Still, he’s not a happy man.
4.
The four March girls are not only sisters, but also they are one another’s truest friends. When others are in trouble, they try their best to help them. 5.
These relationships help them through difficult times. Have you read Little Women? What did you think of it? Write down your lessons and share them with us.
