5. I felt like the Professor liked Jo because he was hinting that Jo's stories should be in the paper more.
6. I thought what Jo did was okay because they both have fiery tempers and if they got into an argument, it would not be pretty. Also, back then it was weird for a woman to deny a proposal.

2. Yes,Fred is rich and Amy always wanted to marry a rich person.
3. I think it would effect the story because Jo might be a little jealous, also I think Beth was just dazed and distressed because she has been sick for so long!

Answers by Melina, Marina, and Claire
MARINA:
1# Yes, I felt bad when May hated Amy because Amy didn't deserve that; she did nothing wrong. And if I were Amy I would ignore her and wouldn't come out until May said sorry.
2#I think that Amy likes him, but I kinda thought that she wants to marry him for his money.
3# I thought Beth totally loved Laurie. and if Beth lived I think her and Laurie would make a great couple.
4# Odd , because he sounds to good to be true.
Melina:
1. I felt bad for Amy but I would just put up with it, walk away, and when I came home, I would tell mother.
2. I don't think there is chemistry between them because Amy loves her hometown and she doesn't want to leave her little area.
3. If Beth loved Laurie and lived, then the plot would change a bunch! Laurie might marry Beth and Amy would marry Fred.
4. Interesting because his life is interesting.
5. I felt like the Professor liked Jo because he was hinting that Jo's stories should be in the paper more.
6. I thought what Jo did was okay because they both have fiery tempers and if they got into an argument, it would not be pretty. Also, back then it was weird for a woman to deny a proposal.
7. I would tell marmee and father and we would try and take care of her.
8. Laurie went there because he was traveling with his grandfather and wanted to see Amy.
9. I think Jo compares more to Heidi because they both go on big trips. I think they could relate to one another and be friends.
10. Laurie was jealous because he said those things. It's like this random dog asking Miso when another dog already asked her.
11. Tranquil because the poem had almost a rich sound.
12. I wasn't surprised because I knew that Amy liked Laurie
13. I can relate most to JO!
14. If I was Mrs. March, I would be flabbergasted and wish I could go to the wedding.
15. I think Amy and Laurie make a good couple, and if some other March woman was married to Laurie, not much would change.
16. Energetic, both of them. They are like monkeys!
17. No I was not surprised because I had a feeling this would happen.
18. Jo wanted to live there because she wanted to open a school for boys.
19. One is named Teddy after Laurie and I forgot the other one.
20. 10, and my favorite part was when Laurie turned down Jo's proposal. I thought it was funny.
Claire:
1. I would walk away, take a breath and, ask Meg and get some advice.
2. Yes,Fred is rich and Amy always wanted to marry a rich person.
3. I think it would effect the story because Jo might be a little jealous, also I think Beth was just dazed and distressed because she has been sick for so long!
4. Kind, I chose this word becuase usually people wouldn't just pull someone of the streets and help them. Professer Bhaer did that though because he has a kind heart!!!
5. Because that might have meant he was hinting he liked Jo's stories better.
6. No, I thought they were perfect for each other. Also Laurie is wealthy so they could have a great life!!
