Little Women P.69-94 (CH 7 - 9)

In chapter 7, Jo got an invitation from Laurie to a picnic. Jo, Meg, Laurie and Beth went together, and also with Laurie's friend. Jo always stayed with Laurie. They had a special friendship. Meg always stayed with Laurie's tutor.A young man--Mr. Brooke.They had a good time together. During the picnic, all of them shared their favorite dreams.Jo had a plan about that. She said let's meet and see how many of them have got out wishes if they are all alive in ten years.
In chapter 8, Jo took her Manuscripts to the city. She didn't want anyone know that she had left some stories which were written by herself with a newaspaperman.But she met Lauire there, so she told him about that. He also told a secret to her. It was about her sister Meg. Meg and Mr.Brooke were kind of dating. Jo was unhappy about that, because she knew that's mean someone would take Meg away soon.She dreaded the separation she knew was soon to come.
In chapter 9, Matchs family got a really bad news. They were hoping that their father could be come back from work earlier.They had been waiting for him almost a year. They received a lettle which is not from their father. It said their father was very ill. They were so sad about that. Their mother decided to go to Washington and visited him.
These days, every one wasn't in a good shape. Jo did something that made everyone suprised. She cut her hair that really short, because she wanted to earn some money for bringing her father back.That's the ont thing she could do by herself at that time.

Opinion: At the first few chapters, It said Jo was like a boy. After I see chapter 9, I think Jo actually is very girlish. Because she can't sleep well and keep crying when she is sleeping, after she cut her hair. For this, I think she is so brave. She does something that she doesn't want to, just because of her father, her family. I think she may be the most thoughful one compare with her sisters.

Would you do something like that to help your family? Do you think the other sisters will do anything similar?
