Read the excerpt below from Little Women and answer the question. "Hadn't you rather have her marry a rich man?" asked Jo, as her mother's voice faltered a little over the
last words.
"Money is a good and useful thing, Jo, and I hope my girls will never feel the need of it too bitterly, nor be
tempted by too much. I should like to know that John was firmly established in some good business, which
gave him an income large enough to keep free from debt and make Meg comfortable. I'm not ambitious for a
splendid fortune, a fashionable position, or a great name for my girls. If rank and money come with love and
virtue, also, I should accept them gratefully, and enjoy your good fortune, but I know, by experience, how
much genuine happiness can be had in a plain little house, where the daily bread is earned, and some
privations give sweetness to the few pleasures. I am content to see Meg begin humbly, for if I am not
mistaken, she will be rich in the possession of a good man's heart, and that is better than a fortune."
One of the lessons that Alcott attempts to teach throughout Little Women is that of the value of hard
work to earn one's place in the world. Thinking of examples from the real world, from the story, and
specifically using Mrs. March's words how would you differentiate between happiness in material goods
and happiness in being genuine? For your answer, write at least 100 words.

(1) fire extended humans’ geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. (2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)
