BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I never felt like he fit anywhere, he doesn‘t make sense in the family. I don‘t know if I‘m explaining it very well 🤣 6mo
Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I always resented his presence. They were getting along fine without him and then he shows up like they need his approval. (It was the times I know.) 6mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree! Even as a kid, I was like, why are you here? They don‘t need you! 🤣🤣 6mo
kspenmoll You all said it well- he seems so apart from them. This book, fictionalized account from Marmee‘s point of view helped, but in Alcott‘s real life he was like a child to be catered to- why Louisa went to work writing. 6mo
rubyslippersreads I can‘t stand Mr. March because I can‘t stand Bronson Alcott. 6mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads It's difficult to ignore the resemblance. 6mo
Clare-Dragonfly I found it interesting that he mentions Amy taking drumsticks at dinner as though it‘s an example of her selflessness, but I thought the drumsticks were a desirable portion! Don‘t kids usually fight over the drumsticks? I remember one of the kids in the Little House books really wanting bear drumsticks! I‘m a lifelong vegetarian so this is a genuine question 😂 6mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I hate the drumsticks 🤣 I want the breast, it‘s the white meat and it‘s so much better. I think it‘s down to personal preference (edited) 6mo
Bookwormjillk @kspenmoll Thanks for the recommendation. I also liked 6mo
willaful I think Mr. March shows more to advantage in Little Men. 6mo
