I really liked how, in the books, Amy was the *right* kind of strong-willed woman for Laurie. And I think it's in part that she was enough younger than him that she grew to know him other than as a best friend.
I also like the classes that Jo and Amy (IIRC - my copy of Jo's Boys is MIA) give to the undergraduate girls, making sure that they don't get discounted as "another of those girls" by fault of not dressing to be taken seriously.
If Alcott never wrote chapter 39, I'll never believe Amy/Laurie, there Amy do what almost no one in the novel do: That Laurie was flawed. Indeed, Amy was the right choice.
It is awesome what she made in the Parnassus. I always wondered why Amy was doing teachers job on Jo's Boys, did she got restless withs her comfy life?
A wonderful overview for them. Personally I'm really that there no adaption chose to show the viewers the boat scene because I adore it. One of my favorite scene of them. ♥
I'm sure everyone knows by now that I'm a Jo and Laurie fan, but even I agree that the boat scene was romantic...the chapter where Laurie comes for her after Beth dies, was so sweet...
The only thing I might disagree with is the description of Amy is gentle...lol. I do think she's more feminine perhaps, and she probably does become gentle after marriage. But before, she's quite as sharp and spirited as Jo. Loved her chewing Laurie out in Europe in Lazy Lawrence!
I tend to think of Amy as steel wrapped in silk -- very strong and sharp, but also so impeccably graceful that it's easy to miss the fact that she *can* wound, if she has to. Gentle could apply, but "gentle" would mean a completely different thing referring to Amy than it would when referring to a character like Beth.
