Read this excerpt from Little Women.
Money is a needful and precious thing,—and, when well used, a noble thing,—but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self- respect and peace. Marmee tells her daughters this shortly after Meg returns from a fortnight with the well-to-do Moffats. Amy and Meg have both wanted to have nicer things and be a part of high society, but cannot because Father lost their wealth. Without marrying well, they will never have more than they do right now and will always have to work. Selecting either Meg or Amy as the focus of your answer, discuss whether either girl learns the lesson Marmee tries to teach them here. Use details to explain why they have or have not.

MAKE YOU BRAINLY!!!

Answer:

I think Meg learns a bit more about the lesson that Marmee teaches them

Explanation:

In the text, It says nothing about Amy being "helpful, or generous" but it does say that she wants to have nicer things and be a part of higher society.

In the text, it does say one thing about Meg. She returns with the well-to-do moffats. Which I think, she returned ONLY because of the well being of the moffats, which is a family. So she did something good in my opinion.

Although I am not sure of the meaning of, " She returns with the well-to-do moffats" So do please correct me if I am wrong

Taking a page from her mother’s book, Meg wed into a modest life, and found her happiness in building her life with the person she loved. Although she never gains the riches she dreamed of as a girl, she is, as Marmee wishes, “happy, beloved, contented”
