The Big Trip!!!!!!

Dear Ms. Welker,
This week, I am reading Portraits of Little Women, Beth’s Story. From the title of the book, I know that the chapter I’m reading will be about Beth. I guess she has a story to tell. Beth lives with her Step-Mom, Dad and three sisters. In chapter 4, Beth and her family were planning to go to New York City. But there was a problem, they could only take one daughter. I had a few questions while I was reading. I wanted to know why Beth’s Dad could not take all four daughters (Beth, Amy, Meg and Jo) to New York City? Well, I found out that it would be too expensive to take all four. The girls had to decide which one of them would go on the trip. They talked to each other to decide which one of them would go. They chose Beth because she never got a chance to go anywhere. The other question I wanted to know was, why are they going to New York City in the first place? The reason why they went to New York City was to attend a wedding and help with the wedding dress. I had trouble with the word trousseau. I checked online and found out that trousseau means a wedding dress or a wedding outfit. By reading chapter 4, I can tell this is going to be a good book. I can’t wait to read more.
