reading day three

it is now spring and the girls take a gardening class. they also have a club that they write letters, its a society of arts and letters. based on the book by Charles Dickinson, The Pickwick Papers. they want to invite Laurie but they are afraid that he will laugh at them. he hides in the closet one day and comes out, they start a postal box and they write letter back and fourth to each other.

the king family and aunt march are on vacation. Jo and meg have nothing to do and they do nothing, the other girls also do nothing, one day marmee and Hannah do nothing and they fail to do anything right around the house and marmee just tried to teach them a lesson they everyone has to at least to something, a little bit of work.

meg finds one glove in the postal box with a german song translated by lauries tutor.all of the girls are invited to a picnic at lauries and there are many other people there, some are very rude to the girls and alot of the people break off into many different groups and converstaions.
laurie spies on the girls as the climb the hill, the are reading, sewing and knitting, and drawing. he joins them and he reads to them, they all talk about what they want to be when they are older, and they all dream.

jo submits her manuscripts to the newspaper and they publish them, jo now makes money for them, she is proud to help support her self and her family.mr. march is ill and marmee is sent to d.c to see him, along with mr.Brookes for company.

Response: i think that Jo will become a very good writer and have it as a living someday, maybe even become famous. all of the girls seem to be loving life and just living it at the moment, they are sad that marmee had to leave, that would be hard but i think it is good that they all have each other, they write her letters, each one a different way, even Mr.Laurence and Laurie write her, and Hannah.
