Little Women
Okay, today I'm writing about a famous book that was turned into a movie. Please don't read this if you want to watch the movie because it kind of ruins it. It's called "Little Women". I watched with my mom, my dad, and Bek. At first I really like it because the girls in it were SO fun and exciting. They dressed in costumes of old men with pipes, made fake newspapers, and had Laurie, their next door nieghbor, help them act out stories their sister, Jo, wrote. It was really good, but then... Dun-dun-da! the author ruined the book/movie! It was horrible! Laurie had been in love with Jo and asked her to marry him and she REJECTED him (her first mistake)! It was the perfect match, and she ruined it. So Laurie went away to Europe and Jo went to New York City. There she meet a German professor and fell in love with him(mistake #2). He read a story of hers and she got mad because he said it was terrible. So she went back to Massachusetts. A sister of hers was dying, so she stayed there.
In the meantime, Laurie met up with Amy (or Aimee), Jo's sister, in France where she had been learning to paint. Amy had been the baby of the family when Laurie had known her before, but she became a lady (3rd mistake). Laurie, wanting to be part of the family, forgot the jealousy he had had about the German professor, asked Amy to marry him (4th boo-boo). She said she hated him and didn't want him to marry her for her family, so he said that wasn't the reason and they got married (Noooo!!!! #5). So, they went back to see the family and Jo wasn't jealous when she heard (#6). They moved next door and Jo began to write about her life as a young girl. She sent it to the German guy. A while later he came to the house and handed her grandma a copy of her book, published as "Little Women". When Jo's grandma told her what happened, Jo ran onto the street after him and they talked (#7 Stop it!). She asked him to stay (8). I would tell you the rest, but I put my head underneath the blanket so I didn't have to watch the rest. But, in the end, they got married! That was the HUGEST mistake ever.
After the movie, literally, I was crying. Why did the author ruin such a good book? I went right to bed muttering, "I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I'll never EVER read her books. NEVER!" So, as you can see, it was THE most horrible movie I've ever seen and I'm never going to watch again. I wrote this half because it's true and half because my mom wanted me to tell my sister Sarah what I thought of it. So Sarah, please comment on it. Well, never watch that movie and Good bye!

Anika, I'm sure Sarah's forgiven you for it, I mean eight years is a long time to hold a grudge, though I still blame Bekah about my Pok'e'mon box. I never did get it back. Well, I have to admit, I was kind of touched by Beth dying, but not THAT much. Thanks for commenting. I hope Isaac gets better. By the way, what is your blog site? See you soon!
