I?ve read Little Women several times at different period. Each time I got new meaning by reading it. I?m the only daughter in family so it?s really nice to know how other girls growing up and when they facing the same problems I might meet how will they handle it. For a long time I couldn?t figure out that why the manful talented girl Jo doesn?t love Laurie but when he finally married with her younger sister what a complicated feeling she had.
Inside me there?s literature dream like Jo, and my family was as uptight as hers. I was overconfident often thought I was an outstanding important person. I wrote a series of poems when I was in high school. I also treated myself as a man in the family after parents divorced, I still remember each month end we were short of money to buy food, how I tried to help mama, one day I found a bar of cuprum I sold it, and several times I found some shell of tortoise (people took it to make medicine) sold it at high price I were very happy for that.
I was conductor on bus for three months during my practice period in commercial school and I bought present for each member of family when I got the first month?s salary.
Then after work for years, the dream about literature, about being a famous writer walked far away from me. I worried about how much money I earned, I worried about why beloved doesn?t love me as much as me in return. Do you have something you once insisted on it but finally found even there wasn?t a clear picture remains in your mind after sometime? Read the book, and it might awake what you cherished from the bottom of your heart.
Few of novels I?ve read in English due to I grew up in my mother tongue language environment, I read a lot in translated version. Besides back to years ago in my hometown there were seldom of foreign reading matters could be found. Now I start reading the originals.
