    Here is my analysis of the purpose of the author in writing the story "The Little Women": The main purpose of the author in writing this story was to convey the themes of family bonding, sacrifice, and helping one another especially during difficult times. Despite facing financial hardships after their father left for war, the story shows how the three sisters - Meg, Jo, and Beth - came together to support their sick sister Beth and their mother. It highlights their selfless acts like Jo cutting her hair to earn money and insisting on getting a doctor for Beth even when they couldn't afford it. The story promotes positive values like putting family first, showing compassion during someone's illness, and finding ways to overcome challenges through unity and determination.
