Little Women - Book report - Vítor

Little Women
"Little women" is a book that talks about four sisters who are living a dificult year because their father is in a war and they don't have a lot of money. The girls want their father celebrating the Christmas with them, but it doesn't happen. The four women are: Meg, 17; Jo, 15; Beth, 13 and the little Amy. One day they're invited to a party. In this party Jo meets Laurie and they become friends. Another day Amy asks Beth for candy, so she brings it to school and the teacher hits her, because she mustn't bring candy to school. Near next Christmas year's, in November, the girls' father is sick and he's in Washington, so their mother goes there and leaves the girls. Beth visits their neighbors, the Hummels, and there's a sick child there. He has sacarlet fever and dies. Beth gets scarlet fever and her mother goes home for taking care of her. In Christmas Day the girls' father goes home from the war, Beth is a little bit better and John Brooks, a family's friend, asks Beth for marry him and she accepts. You should read this book, because it's very good and talks about family relationship and love, things we have in our lives. But I don't like when Meg accepts getting married with John because she is too young and in her life maybe she could find the "right person"... But read this !!!

Telephones - Ring Ring Ring - by Vitor !

TELEPHONE

The telephone was invented by :Innocenzo Manzetti , Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Elisha Gray, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison, among others ( they are the ones who were credited by doing the first work on the telephone ).

It's used until today for talking with people are far away.The telephone is a telecomunication device that transmits and receives eletronically or digitally sound ( calls ). When someone is called, his telephone starts to make sounds ( rings ). Before it, Morse Code was used by people to comunicate each other.

Telephone is very important actually and was very important before too ! If it wouldn't invented, we won't have cell phones and probabilly computer, television, etc. And we would use Morse Code to ask my friend about today's homework, or tell my mom i'm sick ! It means:

Thank you, Innocenzo Manzetti, Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Elisha Gray, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison, among others for inventing the telephone !!
