Beth - Little Women 


My wish is to have us all to be together with father and mother in this house - that's what I want  

                                                Beth March


Little Women by Lousia May Alcott was one of the finest works of literature. It was my first novel to start reading, a year ago. Each character in the novel impacted me on a certain occasion occurred in the novel. Beth (one of those four sisters, for everyone she is known as a quiet and shy girl), I was influenced by every little action that she does in a scene in the novel. She is such a kindhearted, warm and calm character. All that she wanted was to be happy with everyone in her family. She had a simple desire that would be fulfilled in the later part of the novel, but without her being with family. Everyone talks about Jo and Amy but why no one talks about Beth? She is a wonderful character who has a very good relationship with everyone around her. Beth was concerned about her family, so she tried her best to keep them together. She was a people-pleaser and it's not a criticism. Unlike Jo and Amy, Beth keeps everything within herself. She never raises her voice for herself, and she never disappoints the expectations of society as she fits into it. Beth was a good friend of Mr. Laurence; she was compassionate about everyone around her as she visited Hummels in the absence of Mrs. March. All the buzz is about the friendship between Jo and Laurie but Laurie also had a pure friendship with everyone in March's family that also includes Beth; Laurie plays a music piece for Beth. Her musical skills are extraordinary which makes the audience mesmerized into the world of music. Today, I watched the movie "Little Women", this scene of the March family getting reunited with their father left me in tears because this was all that Beth desired. But she couldn't be with them till the end of the novel.

The plan to get clear

  It all started with a plan of my dad telling me to visit certain places to get an idea of the routes so we planned to take a bus to Broadway it was around 2 pm on Friday after the classes got over I came to the bus stop to take a bus to broadway then within minutes there came a bus uncrowded and spacious and I got a seat near conductor so that if I had to get down in between I can tell him. It started with a calm and sunny nature, My dad instructed me not to doze off while sitting because the significant reason for me going there was to get the routes clear but there I sat near the window with heat waves passing through my skin and melodious music flowing in my ears if the breeze was an chill breeze then I might fall asleep as soon as I took the ticket. After Kotturpuram, I got confused as the routes looked similar, and it was one way, so I couldn't memorize the routes even while I going back. I looked kinda dull but the next stopping after presidency college brought a smile to m...

SLEEP

So let me start the blog with a valid question, How many hours will you spend for sleeping in a day?..... My sleeping hours got reduced in the past 3 months I would sleep for 5 hours a day whereas a human has to sleep at least for 8 hours is the doctor's prescription. But you guys, never think of me as a spirited or bustling person those words never suit me. Sleep is a wonderful activity for active beings, by sleeping your anger can go down, and can be relieved from unwanted stress and overthinking, and it will even boost your mental energy. Moreover, you can escape from reality for a while, which means when you wake up from sleep you'll have the confidence to encounter and conquer the battle with which you have been struggling for days. And I have heard people saying those who sleep a lot are sluggish humans, Does it even make any sense?.... Everyone knows how important sleep is, in an individual's life. After a long tiring day even if I get a 10-minute nap that would be s...

The contrast between Little Women and pride and prejudice

The contrast between Little Women and Pride and Prejudice  The novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott was set during the American Civil War around the 1860s. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was set around 1811. Both novels present the social expectations of women, love between classes, the unbreakable bond between sisters, family, struggles, and social norms...these were common in both novels but appear different according to their society. Little Women revolves around the life of the March family, where Mr & Mrs March is very concerned about their children but never forces them to do anything. They never conclude any situation with society's norms, but they did care about their children's concerns regarding that particular opinion. Mrs. March supports Jo in her decision to confess to Laurie as her mother knows that Jo has pure love towards Laurie, but they don't know that he is already engaged to her younger sister. Mrs. March also supports and encourages Jo for he...
