My Bahamas Adventure

Literature Essay – Lessons 81-85 – Little Women

If I had a lot of money, what would I spend it on? I chose going on a trip to the Bahamas. I would go to the Bahamas because Dad said it was awesome.

There are so many activities I would like to do in the Bahamas. I would love to go spear fishing and catch my own dinner. I want to see new species, and swim in uncharted waters. I think it would be cool to swim with sharks that are friendly. I love the ocean so much, and I want to breathe in fresh air! I want to trek the untracked, and I want to trap an iguana to make it my pet!

I want to be a cryptozoologist. I would love to find any criptids, to actually see if they exist. I want to find ship wreckage in the waters of the Bahamas where criptids may be. I will go and see if there is buried treasure and maybe make knew friends. A trip to the Bahamas would be a wild adventure. Maybe I will find a criptid or buried treasure.

The Activity I Would Choose

Literature Essay – Little Women Essay 8

There are three activities in Little Women this week, babysitting, working hard on your arts, visiting neighbors, and throwing parties. Out of all of them I would choose working hard on your arts, or working hard on something your good at. I’m going to list three reasons why in this essay, and I will also talk about what I’m good at like music or Ju-Jitsu.

I’m very good at Ju-Jitsu, and I even made a kid, who was skilled, tap. In music I’m good at playing, “Radioactive,” and “Zombie,” on the electric guitar. At my music school, I will be graduating Rock 101 to join the performance group soon. I’m also good at basketball and can make a shot almost every time.

I’d like to practice all three activities more. For example, I practiced guitar rarely before two weeks ago, but now I practice every day and I’m having a lot of fun. I also would like to practice Jiu-Jitsu because I still barely know anything about pummeling. In basketball, I would like to practice my form.

I would choose these activities over the others because they are challenging. I don’t know everything about them. For example, I don’t know nearly all of the moves in Ju-Jitsu. I don’t know everything in music, like scales or songs. Although I make lots of shots, I don’t know all the rules. I just need more time to learn.

Who Beth Should Marry

Literature Essay – Lessons 61-65

This week in Little Women, Beth was very lonely. I’m going to be talking about who Beth should marry. I will also talk about two people she shouldn’t marry and one she should marry.

The first one she shouldn’t marry is Fred. Fred is a cheater and is selfish. Fred hogs food and toys. Fred is not a good man at all. He is the opposite of friendly, he is unfriendly. Fred always gets what he wants and will cry until he gets it. He is a greedy pig all-in-all.

The second is Mr. Brooke. He is really selfish. He will hog anything and say it’s his. He is also in love with her sister, Meg. He will try to deceive people by being nice for a while, and then he becomes angry and rude to them after that. He is even worse then Fred by far. I do not think he will get married to any one.

Unlike the first two, Laurie is very polite and never cheats in a game. He never hogs anything and lets people eat first. He is never selfish and will do as Beth pleases. He is very good at calming down when having a bad day too. I think Beth will marry him.

Out of all these people Laurie is the nicest, the most polite, and true to his word. He is the best at being kind to people and does not think of himself first, he thinks of others.

What I Would Do If My Parents Left

Literature 4 – Little Women Essay 4

This week in Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, I read about how Beth tried to run the house while her aunt left for the holidays. I am going to be discussing what I would do if my parents left for the holidays.

The first thing I would do is to start taking cooking lessons. Every day I would be buying food and water. I would be cooking Jack, my little brother, his food and would make a rule: never wake Colt up at 3:00 in the morning. I would be teaching Jack and myself, and I would quickly become a man.

I would act like Beth and be responsible. I would be smart, responsible, good, and careful with what I do and most of all, be nice to Jack. Beth might be over-thinking it, but she was successful and came out on top. I think I would be okay and would take care of my little brother, Jack. I would be going around cooking or washing or taking care of Jack. Teaching Jack would be my most important job. Jack would help me do all these things I talked about here.

I would teach Jack how to cook. From then on, we would cook, make concoctions, and have fun with it. All these things are going to happen at some point in time, so I thought I would plan before it did. Beth had a hard time with complete responsibility.

Why Beth is Not a Good Character

In the book, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, there are four main characters, Jo, Amy, Beth, and Margret. My least favorite character is Beth. She’s my least favorite because of her personality.

Beth is pushy and always gets what she wants. Also, she is a pianist and I am not. She only likes piano and does nothing in the book. Her sister, Jo, likes fantasy books and apples and is very polite. Her other sister is Margret who is the eldest and sweet. Her last sister is Amy and she accidentally brought a banned food to school, pickled limes. Beth did a lot of things I do not like such as asking for stuff like dresses or a new pair of gloves. She also is lazy and eats a lot. She has nothing in common with me, and is fairly easy to trick. She wants everything and is just really bratty. She even tricks her sisters.

Beth loves treats and candy and her favorite is pickled lime. She is always going to a party or a lesson or a store just to buy herself a toy, or a brand new dress to satisfy herself. She likes to play with her rude little friends or her dolls. I cannot relate to Beth as a character.

I do not think she is a good kid because she is rude, selfish and mean to other children. She is not good, respectful, and she does not listen to anybody. I do not think that Beth is a good character, and I think the author makes that point well even though she can be described as sweet sometimes.
