She was born on November 29, 1832 in Germantown. She is the second daughter of Amos Alcott and Abby May. She is the second of 4 siblings. She has 3 sisters; Anna Bronson Alcott, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Abigail May Alcott.

In 1834, Louisa’s father established a school with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. His opinion on education influenced Louisa. In Louisa’s early study, she got lots of lesson from many famous writer such as Henry David Thoreau who is the one that gave her inspiration to write.

When the second world war emerged, she served as a nurse ina Hospital in Georgetown, DC. She intended to serve there for 3 months but she got sick. When she worked there, she wrote many things about the hospital, including many mismanagement that happened there.

Alcott’s family suffered from finanial issues so she helped her family by working as a teacher, domestic helper, and writer. In 1960’s Alcott began to write for the Atlantic monthly and in her early career, she loved to use the pen name A.M. Bernard when she was writing novels about revenge.

Her most famous novel is Little Women. This novel is about the March family that has a serious financial issue. This family includes a mother, a father, and four daughters. The father of this family have to serve his country by fighting in a war, so, he left his wife and daughters at home without enough money. But in that condition, the March family still managed themselves to be grateful and happy.
Louisa said that this book was inspired by her family, especially her sisters. She thinks that she has a similar character with Jo March (one of the character in Little Women) and her sisters personality are similar with the March siblings.

  How to Make a Single Crochet Hello everyone, my name is Prameswara and i am from class eleven science 3. For my english assignment, I'm gonna show you basic steps on making a single crochet. To make a single crochet, you're gonna need: 1. A yarn 2. A hook. I used a 3.5 milimeters hook. But you can use any hook you want. It depends on the size of the yarn. 3. A needle. 4. And a scissor. Ok so, without further ado, lets get started. 1. So first, we're gonna make a slip knot. Bring your yarn around your index finger and make a loop. 2. Now bring the yarn over the hook and hold it. 3.

                                            Malioboro      Hey, I'm going to tell you things that i know about Malioboro. Malioboro is one of my favorite destination in Indonesia. Malioboro is a shopping street located between Jogja Kraton and Mount Merapi. People used to buy things like necklace, bracelet, tote bag, and batik, as a souvenir or a memento in Malioboro. I think the reason people buy many things in Malioboro is because the souvenirs in there are beautiful (and quite cheap). If you go there, you will find lots of merchants that sell bracelets and necklaces on the side of the street, some stalls that sell shirts and tote bags, and stores that sell batik along the way.        Other than stalls and stores, there are some buildings around Malioboro that will amaze you.
