I fell asleep. I definitely dozed off for about five minutes. It’s not because it’s an old movie; I’ve seen enough to not find the cinematography boring. The story just wasn’t interesting to me. I’m not even sure how this is a coming-of-age novel for girls because nothing really bad happens. Sure there is death and for Christ’s sake Jo doesn’t marry Laurie, but that’s it. Even then it isn’t all bad. Beth needed to died, but after years of suffering. It was a blessing for her to go. Jo and Laurie didn’t get married, but Laurie married Amy. From what I could see they lived happily ever after. In fact, everyone lived happily ever after except for Beth. What does this teach young women who are reading this book? That there is in fact a perfect person in the world for everyone? Not quite. Where’s the heart ache? Laurie was upset for a little but he apparently got over it. All I’m saying is that it’s going to take a lot to convince me there is something deep in Little Women, but if anyone can do it, Dr. Campbell can.
