Book Review: Little Women

Image
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott  Read from June 24 to September 11, 2015 Ebook version (free) So much feelings going on right after finishing this book. I read the Puffin n Bloom by Rifle edition, so it is smaller on the size and thick. I read it for almost 5 months. Daebak. But then again, I try to write this book review, although I am not really happy with the ending.  So, Little Women in a nutshell... It tells us about strong sisterhood and how it results in feminism perspectives depicted along the way. The little women are Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. They used to be rich, but in the story they express how miserable it is to be poor. I feel quite discontented by the fact these characters are soooo desperate in handling their economy problems. Like, okay I get it, this story comes when the background condition was not that good (WW II), but still, they are so desperate to be rich. The way the author speaks it sounds too childish.

But you know, to read this beautiful work from 1847 era, it is not painful at all. The language is idyllic, which I love. Each line gives you the details of the plot, setting, and characterization. You would find this orphan Jane is living her life miserably, while in fact, she is indeed an independent woman with beauty and ingenuity. As soon as I know she would govern Adele, Mr. Rochester's daughter from another mistress(?), I would know there would be romance thing in here. But then you would be served with all of these gory details after

An Analysis of Feminism Perspectives Depicted in Mad Max: Fury Road Movie

Movie is considered as modern form of literature. Apart of the ability to formerly convey what was depicted inside the novel, prose, play, or poem (movie adaptation), movies nowadays can stand alone as purely new form of literature. The making progress of movie involves such ability, which also includes writing, interpreting, reading, and acting. The only written form of a movie is the script. This is why movie nowadays is considered as a new form of literary work which can stand alone.  Moreover, movies are not only using interpreted written text as the way to visualize what is inside the story, but also be supported by sound effect, which tremendously make movies a priority choice in spending leisure time by so many people or moviegoers. It is much quicker and easier. Apparently people who pick movies than books do not want their time to be spent by reading a thick book. This is also why some movie makers out there consider producing their own movies which are not adapted from b
