Though it has been awhile, I have reread the books and seen the new movie. Though they displayed Mr.Bhaer as way too young. I have matured as a reader- being quite young. And I understand a veiw that I haden't yet before. You see I want Jo and Laurie to bee together. She wrote this book in two different books. They get printed together now as one completed. And the signs of the first book show that she will marry Laurie. Almost anyone can get that. But, it is in the second book that Alcott completely chahnges Laurie. In fact, he is not the same kind and lonesome boy we meant in Part 1. This new Laurie could never be with Jo. It just wouldn't work. They have differnt personalities. Marmee was right about agreeing with Jo. But that was changed Laurie. As I do find it kindoff gross, that Jo marries someone twice her age, he is very important. After Beth died, Jo relalized that she needed something more. She couldn't live by herself forever. And I think Bhaer gives her the independence she needs and is also there. He knows she is very intellegent. And as an immagrant I think he understand how she doesn't fit in. He is a good match for Jo. Just as Laurie used to be.

Rereading the book is always good. I stil want Jo and Laurie together. But, I see how they could not have worked. I have only seen two adaptations: The one with Wynona Rider as Jo and the one realeased recently! I liked the new one. It shows everyones character more.

Anyway, sorry for the wait. I just needed to take time to reread and think.

Thanks,
