Alcott Analysis by:Celestina Padilla I began reading The Brothers thinking it would be similar to some of Louisa Alcott’s work I had read previously.

Analyze: The Girl The poem that I will analyze is from Sharon Olds‚ The Girl. This poem is quite graphic but it describes a life lesson that two girls had to endure.
