Actually, I think that Amy has changed for the better and realizes that she has been spoiled. The turquoise ring proves that she is no longer spoiled.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, at the part about Amy's will, She was pretty rude and selfish about what she would give away. Lucas, give me a reason why Amy is not spoiled!?

# data[].attributes.body
Wait, how is Amy "that spoiled?

# data[].attributes.body
I knew that Amy was spoiled, but honestly I had no idea she was THAT spoiled!

# data[].attributes.body
No, she only wants to be with Beth, her sister. Also, I give in. Jo does like Laurie.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think that we realize now that Amy is more spoiled than we think. Really! "I rather have the fever than go to Aunt March's." Harry, I agree, that is a way spoiled remark. I really can't believe that she said that, I mean, we know that she is mean, and spoiled, but that is really spoiled!

# data[].attributes.body
Polly may

# data[].attributes.body
I must say, I feel bad for Beth. First, her canary dies, then a baby dies in her arms, then she gets scarlet fever!

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I think it is safe to say that Polly the parrot was taught many disrespectful words.

# data[].attributes.body
Spelling, Sophie, and also not when you get further into the book. The world really gets dark.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly I think the girls are holding up preaty well without Marmee, except I notice the author sets kind of a dark mood. I think she does this so the readers will get to know how the girls deal with problems, and so that the readers will also worry about Father.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a really bad time for the story. Sickness is infecting everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! I guess we were right about how Amy is spoiled! " I'd rather have the fever than visit Aunt March"! That is a super spoiled comment. I think we have to eliminate the theme be grateful for what you have, because they are not that grateful

# data[].attributes.body
Amy must like Laurie too!!

# data[].attributes.body
BETH IS ILL!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Also, Sophie, next time try reading again carefully and gluing each sentence into your mind so when you are confused you have the stuff before it right there for you.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree with you Lucas.

# data[].attributes.body
Please don't yell that loud, and also I think that Jo made the right decision when she cut off her hair because she got rid of her vanity. 😈

# data[].attributes.body
DADDY IS ILL!!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this because Jo was running wild and being free, while Meg scolded her for not being like a lady. All the other sisters seem ladylike, but Jo is different from them. Jo is tomboyish and unlike the "person" she's supposed to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Harry I mostly agree.

# data[].attributes.body
In what ways do you think that Harry

# data[].attributes.body
Beth is kind of becoming like her sisters. Who agrees?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I think that Jo has a fast mouth(like me) and also is embarrased when people see her after "something has happened".

# data[].attributes.body
Oh thanks Lucas.

Me= not confused anymore

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Jo is very different from her sisters and she is kind of an outsider among them. Meg is SO ladylike and is telling Jo off for running, when Jo just wants to be Jo, not Beth, not Amy, not Meg. Just Jo.

# data[].attributes.body
Laurie is picking Jo up from the dentist. Laurie was learning fencing in the gymnasium before that.

# data[].attributes.body
Can someone help me? I'm a little confused... Why is Laurie at the dentist? Are they even at the dentist? WHAT?

Me=confused...

# data[].attributes.body
Haha :D

# data[].attributes.body
Laurie is nice, they should probably add "And a boy" to the end of the title.

# data[].attributes.body
YES! I agree with you Sophie. I think that this is very peculiar that Jo will not tell the others where she is going. I think that she might be going to Laurie's house though.

# data[].attributes.body
ok thanks

# data[].attributes.body
Because the chapter is called "Secrets" I am thinking that Jo is hiding something from her sisters, which is strange because they seem very close. I wonder if her secret has to do with Laurie.

# data[].attributes.body
Actually, you are both right. Sober can mean both things, but look at the context to determine which definition to apply to the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Oh... okay Manuela. Thanks.

# data[].attributes.body
Sophie, sober means sad or moping.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does it keep saying "Sober"? Doesn't that mean not drunk? I understand that Meg drinks alcohol sometimes, but...?

# data[].attributes.body
yes, I think that meg likes Mr. Brooke

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with harry. The girls don't really appreciate what they have

# data[].attributes.body
Well, if they are spoiled, then how can the theme be apreciate what out have.

# data[].attributes.body
What do you mean Harry?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this means that we have the wrong theme in our Venn Diagrams.

# data[].attributes.body
The girls are really learning that taking care of them is hard, like when Pip dies...

# data[].attributes.body
What's a TRUMP card

# data[].attributes.body
I agree Harry.

# data[].attributes.body
John Brooke likes Meg?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the march sisters are a little more spoiled than we thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I am getting more examples for our thoughts that meg and the other girls are a little spoiled. Meg "hates" to have "odd" gloves. This is pure evidence that they should think about others.

# data[].attributes.body
Jo is BAD???????????????????

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you Lucas. Even though Amy burnt Jo's books, Jo shouldn't hurt Amy... what chapters did I miss and what are we going to read tonight? Thanks

# data[].attributes.body
This part is so full of emotion. Jo is like me, her temper gets out at the worst moments.

# data[].attributes.body
Amy may have been evil and burned Jo's books, but Jo has no right to let Amy get hurt. This entire fiasco just shows it's wrong to fight and also fights between friends.

# data[].attributes.body
They're kind of mean to Amy.

# data[].attributes.body
We were supposed to read to 11?

# data[].attributes.body
Meg said: "Well, I do believe the world is coming to an end!" when Mr. Laurence was nice to Beth.

# data[].attributes.body
Jenny is so EVIL!!!

Manuela
AGREED!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
why do you say that Lucas? Meg is nice too!

# data[].attributes.body
Jo is the only nice one other than Beth?

# data[].attributes.body
Apparently,  Mr. Laurence lost his granddaughter. I wonder how he lost her and if she is really GONE?

# data[].attributes.body
I think Meg is in love with the Laurence boy.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you hattie because beth doesn't really talk with other people. She is kind and shy, just like sophie said.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you Hattie. She is a little left out because shes shy and gentle.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that its great for Beth to be able to have her thing because shes seemed kind of lonely and not as social as her sisters.

# data[].attributes.body
No, Jo is just a kind person to people who do not have the pleasure of love. They're just friends!!

# data[].attributes.body
Beth has developed a passion for music... I wonder if she can play...

# data[].attributes.body
I am almost positive now that Jo likes the Laurence boy.

# data[].attributes.body
Also, Sophie, what did you mean by "Maybe Manuela"????

# data[].attributes.body
Okay I agree with you Harry.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe Manuela.

# data[].attributes.body
I think when Jo said they were rich she was realizing that she is lucky she has nice people to love.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems strange Amy would be such a good storyteller.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that the March's are a close family because they will not split up. Through everything life has to offer, the marches will stay together forever and never part.

# data[].attributes.body
Really, it seems strange that a person like Jo would help a quiet girl like Beth.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jo is in love with the Laurence boy.

# data[].attributes.body
They also like to cheer each other up.

# data[].attributes.body
Is Jo in love with the laurence boy?

# data[].attributes.body
Also, gloves meant a lot to Meg.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that everyone is in such a bad mood because of something possibly with their father.

# data[].attributes.body
You can see that Jo likes to be an actress, she uses expressions and acts as Macbeth

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why meg was so fussed about her hair and gloves... whats the big deal?

Sophie

Back then people judged how much money people had based on what they wore.

Manuela

oh ok. Thanks Sophie

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what Jo is up to...

# data[].attributes.body
Amy must make a really big deal of a small thing. Seriously, who cries because they can't remember their times tables?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the letter is telling the girls that they should behave and appreciate what they have

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the girls care SO deeply about their father because They are willing to change their identity for him.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, it is obvious that Jo is a tomboy. THE BOOK SAYS IT ON PAGE 5!
Sorry, Sophie

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Mr. March is fighting in the Civil War because back then, women were stereotyped to be all fancy and be Ladies. But now, in modern society, women can be whatever they want and are not stereotyped anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Beth is more of the optimist.

# data[].attributes.body
The girls must have large imaginations, and I think Jo will learn to like being a girl. Boys don't really have that big imaginations, but that's a stereotype, I'm a boy and have plenty of imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Jo is kind of a tomboy

# data[].attributes.body
And besides, they are all optimists, they are playing pilgrims, like the chapter name.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with harry

# data[].attributes.body
I actually think now that their father was drafted into the army so he makes NO MONEY! In that time women hardly ever make mone

# data[].attributes.body
Meg has to be the optimist, she is the oldest and must set an example for the others.

# data[].attributes.body
maybe he didn't lose the money... maybe he just lied and kept it for himself, or maybe it is buried

# data[].attributes.body
To add on to Hattie, if we go further into the story, we might find that Meg is an optimist.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how the father lost the money...

# data[].attributes.body
Why are they comparing each other?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is either World War I or II. That is why they have shortages. Also, it was hard to get a well paying job during these wars.
Lucas
Doesn't seem like world war 1, because the great depression was AFTERWARD.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Hattie. The characters are all different, have different personalities, and different desires. I think that this book may be about girls growing into women.
