Thank you! Thank you so much! My childhood was based on Little Women, that book was my favourite, I memorized whole parts. Little Women taught me how to live and be grateful and mercy. This video is just amazing. Thank you again!
This comment means THE WORLD to me! Thank you so much! I love that you've memorized parts of the book. More people should try that! I think it's a great and comforting skill. Isn't Louisa amazing?! I think the she was one heck of a person. I'm glad i made this video so I can look back on what I learned about her. Thanks so much for watching!
I am such a big fan of Louisa since i was a kid . I love how passionate she was in her work ,and life , and she was not afraid to be herself . A few years ago I visited Orchard house ,and sleepy hollow graveyard ,not that sleepy hollow lol and it was an a very emotional experience for me because i had a difficult time in school and i read a biography on her in 5th grade ,and i saw my self as her . I am outspoken I was told i would never go anywhere in life by teachers in 5th grade ,and I never gave up ! all thanks to Louisa . every time I still feel like i am nothing I think about Louisa ,and how far I have come in life .
This comment made me smile SO BIG. Thank you for sharing this with me! I'm thrilled to read how much you love Louisa and the impact she has had on your life. That is incredible! Louisa and Joe alike have been such incredible pillars throughout my life as well. That feeling of being a bit of an outsider is something I think I related to. And Joe was always so strong. As was Louisa! Powerful women and I'm so thankful Thomas Niles and Broson got her to write Little Women. It would be a sadder world without it!
Lol are we related? Louisa may alcott is my 6th cousin on my mom's side :) I've ALWAYS been the biggest fan of little women and connected soooooo well with the characters growing up but didn't find out about the relation until recently
I enjoyed this. A touch of book club talk. One quote of Hers I like is when they were living in the commune her mother told her the commune was not uplifting for women. They exist for the men to sit and commune while the women clean, serve, chop the wood and stay out of the way. I love her conversations with her mother. As a 73 year old former hippie did my communes and lived in TeePee and yurts I testify nothing has changed.
I actually made a video on this because folks always seemed curious. Give it a watch if you like and let me know what you think! How do you organize yours? By genre? Video: ruclips.net/video/pyVp9iBloTk/видео.html
I watched Mrs. Cheever's talk on Ms. Alcott. I really like your touch of highlighting interesting facts about her life and following up with your own insight. I'm currently reading Little Women for the first time in my life. There are so many gems! The Christianly themes are reminding me to be grateful, practice self-denial, repentance, diligence, etc.
It is my comfort book. One of the few that gives me a feeling of coming home. I am happy you are finding it enjoyable! Every time I read it a different lesson stands out. I hope to be even a quarter of the mother Marmee was (the fictional one that is). Timeless lessons!!
It’s so true about the health care at that time. So mysterious. I have celiac disease and was misdiagnosed for years. You live a half life. Thank you again for the information. 😀
I completely understand! You really can't blame her for trying so many things. I would too. I have IBS myself. Here's to us and our good health gal! *cheers*
Can't thank you enough. You have no idea how much it helped me to know more about Louisa and her family. I've always adored "Little Women" and what you shared in this video is speechless. Lots of love 💕
I can't tell you what part I liked best, but you spoke so clealry, the info you had was well organized, it was great. I read Little Women in Spanish, more than 50 years ago, but yesterday saw the movie directed by Greta Gerwing and became interested in Alcott's life. So that is how I found you. Looking forewards to your future videos. Thanks again.
I just watched the new version of the movie. And I've watched the old version. Actually to old versions a little women all three are very well representing the book. But I do. Love the fact that you took the time out. And explain more about the author. It was very enjoyable.
I'm overdue with my comment on my mother's obituary and have been reflecting that she'd read Little Women to me at bedtime, and how Ms. Alcott and her family actually was my introduction to ethics, morality and religion. Thank you Bex.
oh wow! thank you for this video, it was so interesting! I've only read Little Women and loved it, but I really wanna read some more books by her ^^ great video!
Is the connection in death between Louisa and her father strange, or what?!?! :o I also can't stop thinking about her fever dream hallucination. That will creep me out for a solid month at least.
Thank you for your knowledge! I hope that you were as accurate as you could be, not just for people like me who may be ushered in by your story without prior knowledge, but bc you care about knowing truth and spreading it as so. I am intrigued by her father and am glad to learn more about him. I believe he had a conflicting desire to understand scripture and he acted that out in ways that he could actually personally observe and experience. I have to do my research, but from what you’ve mentioned about him being intrigued by children, it makes me think of the scripture Matthew 18:1-5. Also, from you mentioned about him reprimanding his children with the apple, it leads me to think that he’s struggling or trying to play out in his life what Genesis meant. … These are all my thoughts and I am expressing them bc they may lead others in they way your thoughts have lead me. Call me crazy but… crazy is still knowledge 🤣
Okay, I just finished this video and I'm thrilled! I'm waiting for my copy of Little Women which should be arriving soon so I haven't read that masterpiece yet! (I know it is so bad!) I love to be informed about the authors I read and after falling in love with the latest version of Little Women by Greta Gerwig I really wanted to learn more about Louisa (after watching the movie at least 4 times) so I started doing some research on her, her family, her history and so far your video is the one that has interested and touched me the most! I know I'm going to love this reading and thanks to you I'lll see the person behind the persona
Your thoughtful comment was a pleasure to read this morning. Thank you for brightening my day. I am thrilled you enjoyed the video, I enjoyed making it :) happy reading!
Interesting but you forgot to mention that Louisa really didn’t want to Jo to get married at all, not to marry someone poor. She wrote to her friends anguished letters about how being unmarried wasn’t a bad thing and how frustrated she was having to marry Jo off just because her publishers and fans wished it.
I think I read somewhere that she married Jo to Mr. Behr in order to frustrate fans and thwart their expectations -- like here's what you asked for! But he's old, poor, and clumsy! I like Mr. Behr but I do remember feeling so upset that Jo married him instead of Laurie. Now that im older i agree with Louisa and wish she could have stayed single, maybe just becoming good friends with Mr. Behr.
Yes she invented the Professor specifically to piss of the Laurie Jo shippers, saying if she couldn’t keep Jo single she’s invent a “funny match” that would get her “vials of wrath poured on her head” by her readers. Him being German was a reference to her war stories, the sort of stories she really wanted to write about. Also in the Little Women movie when Jo says “I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe” that’s a direct quote from the author.
Wow, amazing. Just amazing. I can't wait to read this book. I bought it but not sure when ill read it but when I do, I'll come back and watch this video again so I can have an open mind about the author. Thank you. Love your vids 💕💕
Yes! Let me know when you do get the chance to read it! It's a really simple story but for some reason speaks to a lot of us. I hope it speaks to you too. Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a comment
outofthebex oh yes, sure will. I ordered it because it's a famous classic and I needed to push myself to read more of that genre. ❤️❤️ no problem!!! Love your videos. I've watched most of them already 😅😅
I love her as well. And I live in the next town from Concord. Her last name is pronounced All-Cutt btw. You should read the biography by Harriett Reisen.
So enjoyed this learning experience. One piece of feedback if I may: your top filler word seems to be "extremely." Consider choosing alternate adjectives for descriptors. Small thing and hard to notice in one's own speech and performance patterns. Still, quite educational. And well edited. Thank you.
Kelly Kinnebrew thanks Kelly! Sadly I seem to go through phases of these filler words and I hardly ever notice until after filming 😅🤣 i do try though! Hopefully I have improved since this video, though honestly I’m not sure. Like you said, it’s hard to hear yourself. I don’t script my videos so it’s easy for me to start repeating myself. I appreciate the feedback!
@@outofthebex your post is the best and I have tried to find others and have watched a few. You have the most detail in my opinion. Thank you for reading so much and sharing. Good work, and I can tell you did a lot of work.
I watched the movie for the first time recently, and ever since, I can’t get enough of this family! I got the books and will be starting them soon! Thanks for the vid!
Are you going to see the new Little Women movie coming out soon?! I will, because I can't help myself. But I am afraid I will hate it automatically since I am so in love with the 1990s one.
Story Place if I could sum it up in a supremely simplified way, I could say that it was the belief that God, and therefore goodness, is naturally inherent in every individual and it is society that leads to corruption. Under their tenets, people are best when self-reliant/independent. It required a lot of thought into ones own self and encouraged you to always be improving who you were. It does have some lovely ideas. If you want to learn more, Thoreau is a good place to start!
@@outofthebex Thank you outofthebex. I like what you are saying here. When God created mankind he put his image in us and mankind was the peak of creation, He made us and said we were very good. This is why it is often fruitful to look within for meaning. There is a lot of meaning there. Also, when we make friends and connect we begin to see God's image in others. Jesus (the God-man) summed up the law and the prophets of the Bible by saying love God and love your neighbor. As we connect with each other we begin to connect more with God.

This was suggested to me as I was searching for info about Abigail May Alcott and her relationship with Louisa. Do you think Louisa resented May because she got to go study art in Europe? She made Amy so annoying and artistically inadequate, whereas May was actually a success at art. Also, I would love to hear how Louisa raised Lulu her niece. Did she follow Bronson's weird child rearing methods?
Great question about how she raised her neice. I would like to know that too. I didn't see much information on it. There are so many things we can never know, but it is fun to think about! Isn't it?! :)
Well Jo certainly did resent Amy's golden ticket to explore Europe! Aunt March had been planning to reward Jo with the trip, but in the book you see why she switched to Amy. But Jo worked very hard on her envy and jealousy and learned to be happy for her sister...
I'm not sure what to think about her father either because he did all of that for his strong beliefs and morality, he meant well but the results affected his family when that should have been his priority. I like to read biographies about authors too so I like this kind of videos
Right?! I think if anything it shows that he was very human and as a rsult very imperfect. I know he meant a lot to Louisa and that they were very close later in life. But I imagine it was a very complex relationship. I'm glad you like the series idea. Thanks so much for your feedback on that! I'm thinking of doing Ray Bradbury this month and maybe Mary Shelley in March!
Wow this is so interesting! Some of these I'd read/heard about, but others are new to me. Yes, that fever dream of the creepy Spaniard is absolutely terrifying! So bizarre and totally creepy, yikes 😱🤒
*whispers* lie still my dear.... NO THANK YOU! :P But truly she had an incredible life and I think she sounds like a really wonderful person. I'd love to hear one your facts about her that I didn't share if you have some!
@@outofthebex creepy lol!! I don't think I have any other facts, I was just saying that I'd heard some facts you mentioned and others were ones I hadn't heard. I read some of these fairly recently, but can't remember where haha 🙄
