Little Women Summary
Little Women follows the lives of the four March sisters, who live in genteel poverty in the nineteenth century United States.
- Each of the sisters seeks out a different form of happiness: Meg wants to marry, Jo wants to be a writer, Beth wants to care for her family, and Amy craves material success.
- Beth tragically dies of scarlet fever. The surviving three sisters each eventually achieve their own versions of happiness, with Meg marrying and starting a family, Amy traveling abroad with her wealthy aunt, and Jo finding success as a writer before marrying an unconventional but kind older man.
Download Little Women Study Guide
(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
The March family lives in a small house next door to the Laurence mansion, where young Theodore Laurence, known as Laurie, and his aged grandfather have only each other for company. Old Mr. Laurence is wealthy, and he indulges every wish of his grandson, but often Laurie is lonely. When the lamps are lit and the shades are up in the March house, he can see the four March sisters, with their mother in the center, seated around a cheerful fire. He learns to know them by name before he meets them, and, in his imagination, he almost feels himself a member of the family.
The oldest is plump Meg, who has to earn her living as the governess of a group of unruly youngsters in the neighborhood. Next is Jo, tall, awkward, and tomboyish, who likes to write and who spends all her spare time devising plays and entertainments for her sisters. Then there is gentle Beth, the homebody, content to sit knitting by the fire or to help her mother take care of the house. The youngest is curly-haired Amy, a schoolgirl who dreams of someday becoming a famous artist like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci. The sisters' father is away, serving as an army chaplain during the Civil War.
At Christmastime, the girls are confronted with the problem of what to do with the dollar that Marmee, as they call their mother, has said they might spend. At first, each thinks only of her own pleasure, but all end by buying a gift for Marmee instead. On Christmas morning, they insist on sharing their breakfast with the Hummels, a poor family in the neighborhood, and for this unselfishness they are rewarded when Mr. Laurence sends over a surprise Christmas feast consisting of ice cream and bonbons along with four bouquets of flowers for the table.
Many happy days follow, with Laurie becoming a part of the March family circle after he meets Jo at a fashionable New Year's Eve dance. In November, however, a telegram brings a message that the girls' father is critically ill. Mrs. March does not know what to do. She feels that she should go to her husband at once, but she has barely five dollars in her purse. She is hesitant about going to her husband's wealthy, irascible relative Aunt March for help. Jo solves the problem by selling her long, beautiful chestnut hair, which has been her only vanity, for twenty-five dollars. She makes the sacrifice willingly, but that night, after the others have gone to bed, Meg hears Jo weeping softly. Gently, Meg asks if Jo is crying over her father's illness, and Jo sobs that it is not her father she is crying for now, but for her hair.
During Marmee's absence, dark days fall upon the little women. Beth, who has never been strong, contracts scarlet fever, and for a time it looks as if Jo is going to lose her dearest sister. They send for Marmee, but by the time she arrives, the crisis has passed and her little daughter is better. By the next Christmas, Beth is her old contented self again. Mr. March surprises them all when he returns home from the front well and happy. The little family is together once more.
Then John Brooke, Laurie's tutor, falls in love with Meg. This fact is disclosed when Mr. Brooke surreptitiously steals one of Meg's gloves and keeps it in his pocket as a memento. When Laurie discovers the glove and informs Jo, he is greatly surprised at her reaction; she is infuriated at the idea that the family...

Alleged Plot To Unseat Obasi: Progressive Lecturers Advise Government To Tread With Caution
Going by the recent constitution of a Visitation Panel for the Imo State University headed by Prof. Chinedu Ossy Nwebo, by the Governor, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, the hell has been let loose for those aspiring to displace Prof Obasi, as the substantive V.C of Imo State University.
The re-appointment of the former Secretary, to the Visitation Panel that once probed and ruthlessly indicted Prof. Chuka Okonkwo, Mr. A.C Duru, has raised concern in some quarters over the sincerity and integrity of the Panel as they believe that the Ohakim Visitation panel only carried out a hatchet job to unseat an Orlu son.
A lecturer who spoke on condition of anonymity said, "It has become clearer, from all indications, there is ulterior motive in setting up the Visitation Panel.
There is a general feeling that the Visitation Panel is a mere smokescreen to justify the conspiracy contrived to oust the Professor of Education and first female Vice Chancellor of the institution since the terms of reference did not include the fraud associated with a number of the key aspirants to the exalted office of Vice Chancellor of IMSU, such as Prof. Nkwam Uwaoma", the source revealed.
We gathered that some of the lecturers in the school are already engaging in horse-trading, scheming even to the extent of backbiting for possible endorsement of government. While some lecturers are lobbying for the office of Vice Chancellor, majority are squaring up to resist any move, to remove Prof. Adaobi Victoria Obasi,.
Another source reported that some of the over-ambitious and overzealous professors have started buying and sharing cows to compromise some of the top government officials, who they consider influential and can make case for them. Some of the professors alleged to have been scheming for the position include; Prof. Nkwam Uwaoma, Prof. P.U Okorie, Prof. Agulana, Prof. Opera and others.
As revealed,the entire sum was allegedly paid to then ASUU Chairman, Dr. Nwadialo, but with Prof. Nkwam Uwaoma, as another signatory to the account where the money was domiciled.Uwaoma was said to have signed an open cheque for the money to the ASUU Chairman.
His acceptance to sign an open cheque for Dr. Nwadialo, was faulted when the victims of the fraudulent land acquisition were denied access to any land. They were instead presented with an estate developer, who Nwadialo claimed to be busy with developing the residential building until the bubble got burst that no land after all acquired and developer a ruse. It was further gathered that each of the lecturers had contributed N700,000 to the land acquisition fund.
The victims are presently demanding that any Visitation Panel on IMSU must first address the fraud and seeming land scam, which allegedly has Dr. Nwadialo, as kingpin. Doing so according to them, will expose the attributes of those who might want to sustain such fraud and malfeasances as Vice Chancellors.
A lecturer who spoke on condition of anonymity on the vexed issue of the removal of Prof. Adaobi Obasi, advised that the position of Vice Chancellor should not be politicized or made a tribal or clannish issue. He added that those concerned should be concerned about the law that established the university, most particularly the plights of the students graduating from the institution, more than pecuniary issues and interests.
He added that it is pathetic and unpatriotic for anyone to be removed on the basis of where she comes from. "For me, I do not care where the V.C comes from but for the law establishing the university to be obeyed", he stated.
Meanwhile, a group of lectuerers who go by the name; IMSU progressive lecturers, IMSUPL have vowed to frustrate any move to remove Prof Obasi whom they said has less than a year to be in the office.
The group which pleaded anonymity stated that IMSU upon appointment of Obasi became a united community, commending the effort of the Vice Chancellor to bring every group together and ensuring that no lecturer is victimized under her watch.
They pleaded with the government of Hon Emeka Ihedioha to tread with caution as any plan to remove Obasi will return the Institution to the ignoble era that almost ruined the institution.

Packing the Suitcase is an intimate sex position with very deep penetration that's enjoyed using the edge of the bed, couch, or recliner.
How to Get Into the Packing The Suitcase Sex Position
- The wife lies on her back with her bottom on the edge of the bed, recliner, or sofa.
- She opens her legs a little and brings her knees all the way to her chest.
- The husband stands before her.
- He leans forward so that her feet are resting on his shoulders.
- He places his arms around the outside of her lower legs near her head for support.
- He gently leans forward a little pushing her legs back further to roll her body back and pick up her pelvis.
How to Perform the Packing The Suitcase Sex Position
The husband enters his wife and makes love to her. He can control the angle of penetration by the amount of pressure he applies to her legs. More pressure will allow more powerful g-spot stimulation.
Become a Better Lover: Sex Tips & Techniques for Plus-Size Lovers
On a Side Note: This position was featured and highly recommended by the ladies on the Sex Chat for Christian Wives Podcast.
Tips & Techniques That Add More Stimulation
- G-Spot Stimulation: Generate much more g-spot stimulation by placing a Liberator Wedge Sex Pillow with the high side facing the husband or a folded, firm pillow under her butt. A wedge works best because it lifts and tilts her pelvis for the strongest g-spot stimulation possible. Recommended Reading: How to Increase G-Spot Stimulation During Sex
- Clitoral Stimulation: Wear a vibrating ring around the base of your penis so the ring's vibrator stimulates your wife's clitoris while you ride her into orgasmic ecstasy. Apply a drop of scream cream to your clitoris and enjoy additional clitoral stimulation while making love to your husband.
- Ragin' Cajun Sex Routine: A sex routine that begins with each spouse straddling the other's face during oral sex & continues with sex positions that have clitoral & g-spot stimulation.

Allergy Treatment in Portland OR
If you are plagued by allergies, you may think that you're doomed to a lifetime of soporific medications, face masks and avoiding the great outdoors -- but that doesn't have to be the case. Natural therapies such as chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, nutrition and essential oils can all work together to help you get the upper hand over your allergies. Our Portland chiropractor, Dr. Samantha Stuart, DC, can provide you with these safe, effective health and wellness strategies.
To understand how these methods can help you overcome allergies, it's first necessary to understand exactly what an allergy is and what causes it. An allergic reaction is the immune system's response to a perceived threat. Your body manufactures substances called antigens to attack and destroy foreign particles -- which is tremendously helpful if that particle is a virus or bacterium, but completely overkill when it comes to a harmless stimulus such as pollen, pet dander or food. In any case, the allergic reaction produces a variety of symptoms, from annoying sneezing and watery eyes to full-blown, life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
Many allergy sufferers cope with their affliction by taking medications that temporarily relieve their symptoms. But these drugs can have side effects of their own, from dry eyes and mouth to grogginess, without actually addressing the underlying stimulus behind the allergy. Our chiropractor's natural therapies go further by helping to normalize the body's responses to allergens and making it easier to avoid future attacks.
Drug-free Allergy Care for Portland
Our Portland, Gresham, Camas, Happy Valley, Fairview and Troutdale patients benefit from a holistic approach that utilizes multiple health and wellness strategies, and our approach to allergy care is no exception. After performing a detailed health and wellness evaluation that takes your medical history and known allergies into account, Dr.Stuart may recommend any or all of the following drug-free treatment methods:
- Chiropractic adjustment - An exaggerated response to an allergen may be partly due to poor communication between the brain and body. Spinal alignment problems can interfere with proper nerve function, making it hard for your body to coordinate its own responses properly. Chiropractic adjustment can resolve these miscommunications.
- Nutrition - Fighting allergies with nutrition may certainly include avoiding certain foods known to be allergy triggers. But dietary changes such as the use of probiotics, balancing sodium and magnesium levels and consuming more antioxidants may also be helpful.
- Massage therapy - Massage helps the tissues release stress-causing substances - and stress is both a contributing factor and a direct result of severe allergy attacks.
- Essential oils - We can show you how to use essential oils such as lavender, peppermint and lemon to relieve congestion, rashes, headaches and other allergy symptoms naturally.

The Tulsa County Sheriff's office ordered supervisors to falsify the training record of the reserve deputy who fatally shot a suspect after mistaking his revolver for his Taser, sources told the Tulsa World.
Reserve deputy Robert C. Bates, 73, faces manslaughter charges after he allegedly mistook this revolver for a Taser and fatally shot a suspect in an undercover operation April 2.
From the Tulsa World:
Supervisors at the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office were ordered to falsify a reserve deputy's training records, giving him credit for field training he never took and firearms certifications he should not have received, sources told the Tulsa World.
Multiple sources speaking on condition of anonymity told the newspaper that at least three of Bates' supervisors had been transferred after refusing to sign off on his state-mandated training. The World notes that "the sources' claims are corroborated by records, including a statement by Bates after the shooting, that he was certified as an advanced reserve deputy in 2007."
The Sheriff's Office denied that documents were falsified or that supervisors were reassigned because they wouldn't sign off on Bates' training. The office announced Thursday that it will conduct a review of its reserve deputy training program.
This follows allegations that Bates got the reserve deputy position because he'd donated cars and computers, and contributed money to the sheriff's election campaign. Former officers with the sheriff's department told The Daily Beast that Bates, a wealthy insurance company CEO, was a "pay-to-play" cop who'd essentially bought his position with donations.
The sheriff's office provided a list of courses that Bates was supposed to have completed as part of his training, but wouldn't provide the names of the supervisors who signed off on them, according to CNN.
"You would think the sheriff's office -- if in fact there has been no pressure applied, no falsification of records -- would be forthcoming with these documents," Ziva Branstetter, a reporter at the Tulsa World, told CNN.
Sheriff's office representatives told CNN Tuesday that Bates had 1,100 hours of community policing experience and 300 hours of training since he signed on as a reserve in 2008. He also belonged to the highest tier of unpaid volunteer reserve deputies, the Sheriff's Office said.
The shooting victim, Eric C. Harris, had allegedly fled after attempting to sell an unlicensed gun to an undercover cop. On widely circulated police video of the incident, Bates can be heard yelling "Taser!" as the suspect flees, then "Oh, I shot him. I'm sorry."

Are you enabling substance use disorder or supporting recovery? The Professional's Perspective
This is a guest post from family counselor/interventionist Ricki Townsend
Parenting a child of any age who has become ensnared by alcohol or drugs is so counter-intuitive. As parents, we've been focused from Day One on keeping our children safe. We grab them when they are headed toward the busy street. We pick them up when they fall down. We make sure they are fed and clothed and sheltered. But when drugs or alcohol muddy the water, we have to learn a new set of rules to keep us from enabling their substance use disorder. Those rules can help us – and them – head in the direction of recovery.
How do you distinguish between enabling the brain disease of substance use disorder and setting healthy boundaries? A good rule of thumb I've learned from the "legacy" parents who attend our Sunday meetings is to ask if our behavior supports their addiction or their recovery. For example, if we pay their rent in a house full of drinking buddies, that behavior enables their alcohol abuse. In contrast, if we pay their rent in a sober living home that has random drug checks, curfews and mandatory AA meetings, that behavior supports their recovery. If we let them use our car because they totaled their car while driving under the influence, that shields them from the consequences of their poor choices. If they have to ride a bike or a take a bus – trust me – they will truly experience the consequences of their actions. And they may just get a taste of humility along the way. At the very least, they will understand that you are sticking by your guns when you say, "We will support you in recovery, and this is what it looks like."
I know these are difficult boundaries to lay down. But, as the AA Open Letter from an Alcoholic reminds us, "Don't let your love and anxiety for me lead you into doing what I ought to do for myself. If you assume my responsibilities, you make my failure to assume them permanent. My sense of guilt will be increased, and you will feel resentful."
We need to give our beloved children the best chance to find recovery. And that means when drugs or alcohol are calling the shots, then we need to change the way we act. WE need to get out of their way and give THEM some very compelling incentives to find their own path.
- Created on .

Using Barbie to Apply Algebra to Real Life
Algebra I students at Merriwether Middle School simulated a bungee jump using Barbie dolls and rubber bands.
The object of the activity was to determine how many rubber bands it would take for Barbie to safely jump a distance of 400 centimeters. Students added two rubber bands at a time and measured the distance that Barbie jumped in centimeters. The students graphed the data in a scatter plot and created a line of best fit. They also used the graphing calculator to write the linear regression equation of the line. Then they compared the two equations and answered questions about the slope and y-intercept in the context of the experiment. "I learned so much through the hands-on working while doing the Barbie bungee drop. It also helped me to practice the equations we have been learning," shared Brendan Doyle.
LaThomas Wakefield enthusiastically said, "What I liked most about the Barbie bungee jump was when the distance of the fall increased, then the Barbie would fall faster and would come back up with an increase."
Algebra I teacher Cindy Grose explained, "My hope is that this experiment showed a real life application of Algebra by seeing how linear equations can be used to predict information. At the beginning of the activity they guessed how many rubber bands it would take to jump 400 centimeters. After they found their equations, they were able to more accurately predict this information algebraically."

Last Call: Some Space Still Available for The COOLEST Photography Event of the Year
By Sports Shooter staff
Photo by Brad Mangin
Michael Zagaris works an Oakland Athletics home game during the 2004 season.
There is still space in THE coolest photographer event of the year: The Sports Shooter Workshop & Luau 2004.
Nineteen different breakout classes and main speakers Rick Loomis, Matt Mendelsohn and Michael Zagaris highlight the program for this year's event, held at the Redondo Beach Marina Crown Plaza Hotel Nov. 5 - 6, 2004.
"If you want to learn about how to shoot and light a knockout portrait or utilize your skills in video or get some cool little tips about digital workfow ... we have classes for you," says The Luau's Big Kahuna Robert Hanashiro.
Other classes include: survival skills for the road, community journalism, picture stories and personal projects, web sites for photographers and the always popular Sports Shooter Jedi Master Series.
Hanashiro indicates that the Workshop & Luau is nearly three-quarters filled and that it is open to both students and working photographers.
"There is no better workshop out there today," says Sports Shooter columnist The Photodude,
"There maybe more expensive ones, but there is nothing that combines education, inspiration and so much fun like the Workshop & Luau. I wouldn't miss it for anything!"
For more details on the Workshop & Luau 2004, check out the information site at:
"I think seeing living legends like Bill Eppridge, Michael Zagaris and Peter Read Miller is worth the price of admission alone," Hanashiro added.

director of photography Paul Whyte who will join the "Ethics In Photojournalism" panel and award-winning photographer Wally Skalij from the
Los Angeles Times
who will sit in on the Olympics panel.

Broccoli crowns began appearing in North Carolina Eastern Broccoli Quality trial plots in late June. Evaluations of hybrids in that planting are now about 90 percent complete. Broccoli hybrids in the second planting, which was transplanted on June 12, are just beginning to show signs of heading. A third planting went in the ground last week.
The season in Western NC started out hot, then turned cooler in late June. Summer heat and humidity returned in July. Some Alternaria and secondary fungal infections related to minor insect damage have been noted but managed.
The limited amounts of seed available for new hybrids means that Quality trials plots are necessarily small. To achieve results that are representative of performance, plots of 15 plants per hybrid are replicated three times per planting, with three plantings per season happening at each Quality trial location.

Is it just me who keeps seeing rose color associated with success? Look at the new rose Macbook, look at Ivanka Trump's personal logo, look at her rose dress (the same style black dress I happen to have as well. See below.)
Who would have imagined that Macbook would go rose, but it definitely has. So I wonder what else is gonna go rose…
And here is me.
Feel good!

- Water - 1/4 cup
- Ground cinnamon - 1/4 tsp heaped
- Ground Nutmeg - 1/8 tsp
- Ground cloves - 1/8 tsp

Steps required :
- Peel and chop the apples.
- Place all the ingredients in a pressure cooker, mix, put the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes(4 vissels).
- Once the steam evaporates from the cooker, open the lid. The apples were already in the form of paste, so i did not need to mash it. Very little liquid was left in the cooker, so I cooked it for another 5 minutes to thicken it.
- Let it cool, store it in a airtight container and refrigerate it till required.
Step 2: Steps to Prepare Pumpkin Puree
- Wash a small Sugar Pumpkin or Pie Pumpkin very well
- Cut the top which holds the stem of the Pumpkin and cut the pumpkin into half
- Remove the seeds and strings well (Do not throw the seeds as the seeds can be used so many ways)
- In a pressure cooker pour 1 inch water, place the pumpkin pieces, put the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes (1 vissel)
- Once the steam settles, open the cooker lid, remove the skin of the pumpkin which comes off easily, mix well with a spoon and place in refrigerator till needed.
Step 3: Ingredients and Steps to Prepare Pie Crust
Ingredients required (Quantity below adjusted for only one pie crust):
- All purpose Flour - 1 cup
- Powdered Sugar - 1/3 cup
- Salt - 1/8 tsp
- Butter - 1/2 cup, very cold cut in small chunks
- Ice Water - 2 tbsp
Steps required :
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and keep aside
- In a large bowl + All purpose flour + powdered sugar + salt - Mix well
- Add butter to above mixture and with the help of finger tips mix the butter into the flour till the butter becomes pea sized
- I moved the mixture to a flat based bowl so that i could mix the mixture well
- Add Ice cold water little by little till you are able to gather the mixture into a ball.
- In the photo I have divided the dove into 2 because I made extra. The ingredient quantity mentioned above is for only one pie crust which is enough for this pie.
- Wrap the Pie dove in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30 minutes
- After 30 minutes roll out the dove to 1/4 inch width and carefully place it onto a pie pan or tart pan
- With a fork make dots on the pie crust so it does not fluff once baked

Sounds delicious! I love the combo of pumpkin and apple butter, and your explanations are great!
Thank you Margaret :) I myself did not expect the combo of pumpkin and apple butter to turn out so good :)
I can understand the urge to cover everything with sprinkles. This sounds delicious, and it came out gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you MsSweetSatisfaction...I made another batch of this pie and sent it to my husband's office and his colleagues loved the dish and everyone asked for recipes :) I felt very popular... for a day ;)

I have recorded in the studio a dialogue, and now I would like to make a short movie to publish it on youtube to support my educational material.
It's a dialogue between two persons.
I was thinking of dividing the frame in two parts for example left part person 1, and right part person 2.
I'm planning to buy some pictures to represent person 1 and 2.
I would need your help with two questions:
1) which size shall I buy the pictures, the smaller (450 x 300px) are cheaper, but I can afford as well the bigger size (848 x 565px).
I do not really need HD resolution for my educational free movies, but I'm thinking that nowadays 450x300 is quite small, but if I double this I end up with a frame of 900 x 300 which is pretty strange as format. I could place the subtitles under it and this might lead to 900x400 but this is still strange as format.
2)how to highlight who is talking?
a)I could add a roundish text box with the actual text, or
b)I was thinking to place the subtitles at a time under each speaker? or
c)somehow to darken the picture of the person who is not speaking... or
d)use only one picture at a time of the person speaking and fill up the whole frame only with that picture (the bigger size of picture then) and then it will be obvious who is speaking, but I was thinking that it might become to flickery since in a dialogue the speaker changes sometimes very fast if his/her line is short which is my case
Many thanks for helping me out

why not use 2 cameras and 2 friends to read the script and video it. then edit it to cut between the speakers.--
"a lot of people are better dead" - prisoner KSC2-303
Hi aedipuss,
It's about the scenery, the dialogue takes place in a specific place (e.g. restaurant) so I hope one day I'll be able to shoot it in a restaurant, but that's quite complicated to be arranged in my particular case (e.g. I might have to travel to a specific location...)
Unfortunately my friends are more serious types than the ones willing to go in front of the camera.
So with the pictures I can somehow "simulate" that environment, the question that I had is how to organise the pictures in the frame.
I would appreciate an answer on my initial questions.
Many thanks
I'm still hoping that someone could actually help me understand whether having one person only in a frame is better than having to persons in a frame... at the end if I can understand which one is better, the rest I can try to figure it out by myself.
My fear is that if I have only one person (one picture) on a frame it will be too complicated for watching it having to change every 10-30 seconds the person... and then it will be difficult to follow.
I think this is more a shooting technique rather than a pure issue that I'm facing in my little project, the question being, if the exchange of lines is very fast, does it make sense to focus all the time on the speaker? I would tend to answer:not necessarily, sometimes you want to see the emotions/reactions on one speaker's face when the other one is saying something. But in my case since I'll have still images, I can't show any emotions and anyway the dialogue is quite simple.
Another complementary question would be: after how much time I can change the focus without making the experience of the viewer to awkward: I remember something like the rule of 5 seconds? but that is too little, to change every 5 second the speaker...
Many thanks for your support

What is the background context ? What is this about ? Why are you doing it /what is the purpose, or what is the topic of the conversation at least. That would probably help to guide how you might do it. You mentioned educational, specific place, 2 people - but that's pretty broad
For example, if it's a dialog about cancer you would probably handle it differently than a talk about beer or the superbowl
Why do you need to "buy" the pictures ? What is it about ? Do you need a specific , famous, face ?
You have over-looked the obvious.
To the watcher, it is easy to know who is talking since no two people sound alike.
Watch some dialogue scenes from movies or cartoons you like and see what kind of pace makes sense. See what you can follow comfortably. You're asking for a technical answer to a creative problem, and it seems you may be underestimating your audience
That said, try stuff out. Then tweak it and make it better,
Couple of thoughts:
You get out what you put in (or GIGO): These kind of decisions should all be made with regard to the content, the emotion(s) you are trying to convey, and how you are trying to direct the audiences' focus. There are probably 120 different ways to shoot & edit/composite this, depending on what you are trying to convey. Don't be stingy or lazy with your choices in one area, just to accommodate another. It'll show.
There are literally MILLIONS of people wanting to get break into acting who could do this job, so the bit about not using your "serious" friends is a poor excuse. Are you going for INFORMATIONAL/DOCUMENTARIAN or for DRAMATIC rendition on this. The answer should help steer you.
It seems you are going about this in a strange fashion/order: decisions like this should usually be done prior to actually recording ANYTHING ("pro-production"), yet you've already got the dialog recorded & edited, it seems. Well, think about similar historical projects that may have gone the way yours has. Re-purposed radio shows? Music videos?
You could possibly do a greenscreen shoot, and "place" you actors in the scenery/environment that you aren't able to travel to (here is where bought stock footage might make sense)?
Those arguments about the pacing of editing or the subtitling are weak: both have successfully used a wide variety of timings & styles over the years. Again, it's about what you want to convey. Figure out the WHY before you figure out the HOW (it should guide you).
@DB83, no 2 people sound EXACTLY alike, but viewers are often fooled. That's why there's such a thing as impersonators & impressionists. Not sure how this pertains anyway.
Of course with an impressionist one does see the performer so one knows it is not the real person.
Basically here we have a 'radio' performance. Having already created the script the simplest thing for the OP is to create a short introduction. He could still use the photos (I also do not see merit in this approach) and even use the non-speaker as the point of focus -full screen - which could indicate that the other is also listening.
Frist of all I would like to thank you all for your answers and your constructive approach. I'll try to answer and clarify all questions.
I have a website with free educational materials, it's about learning a foreign language.
I managed to find two native speakers, a man and a woman, that recorded the lines in a studio.
The dialogue is teaching you how to book a table, order a meal at a restaurant... these are short dialogues of max 10 lines each (10 lines man 10 lines woman).
I would love to shoot the dialogues with real actors, but it's quite complicated since I do not live in that country, so I would need to arange everything...
And actually I tried it some years ago, and the actors were poor, actually they were not actors, they were just some friends, and in the restaurant there was background music... I couldn't really use that shooting.
I'm planning one day to still find another restaurant and shoot the dialogues but in the meantime I would like to give some visual aids to the students (public at large since the lessons are free), and this is why I would like to make a few short movies with the dialogues.
Each person has it's own way of assimilating new information, and learning new things, some of us are more visual other remember things easier if they hear it, this is why I would like to have some video support.
I also find it much easier to remember if I would watch a movie, even with pictures related to the subject of the dialogue. This is why I found nice pictures with a waiter on the phone and another man on the phone (the one that orders), and then other pictures related to my dialogues.
I would love to do all this by myself, but this is a hobby as I have a job, family so cannot really afford to do it myself, and the lessons being free the budget is quite limited...
This is why I was thinking of buying some pictures and then making a small video.
I have Sony Vegas (not the professional) at home and I can learn very fast.
I can send you the link to the website by pm just let me know if you are interested, I'm not posting it here not to be accused of advertising...
I hope this answers your question, if you need more info, I'm happy to provide it.
I was doing what you've just mentioned searching for ways to record dialogues, and most of the times you would have a shot with the back of his head and the other speaker a bit further, but I will never find such pictures especially with the background a restaurant which is what I'm searching for.
What I was thinking is something like this:
or this
And I was thinking of improving it by showing a picture with a real person in a real restaurant.
Another idea that I had was to animate the characters but I remember when I checked it some time ago it was quite complicated... as I would have to model the character and at least what they are holding in their hand (e.g. phone...)
What do you think?
Many thanks for your support

Well if it is a man and woman then it's a no-brainer.
Variation is the key here. It really doe not matter what the viewer sees since even the blind knows a woman's voice dos not normally come out of a man's mouth.
For me, the best learning conditions would be to see the actual human mouth pronunciate the words (real human) , along with both written languages as subtitles. I realize the real human component is not feasible for you now
For me, a static picture of people doesn't really help me to actually learn the language. In that situation it doesn't matter if it's "cartoon" or real because there are no mouth movements. It's almost no different than a blank screen - but I suppose it does help in terms of situational context, and perhaps as a memory aid for some people as you suggested. The dialog in a restaurant would be different than in a doctor's office for example.
But the written text does help. I don't know who your primary audience is, but it helps me to see both languages, but it might be too cluttered for what you are trying to do. I think both speakers should be present for the visual. A man and a woman's voice is easy to distinguish so I wouldn't worry too much about "highlighting" who is "speaking" . But I would pay attention to the pace of the speech (slow), and legibilty of the text
I remember now - you were asking about lipsync and 3d character animation a few years back.
Nothing has changed in terms of audio driven "automatic" animation. But a lot has changed in terms of mocap for both marker and markerless animation - basically it's getting more affordable, much better, more accurate and realtime (eg. you can have an avatar for IP chat sessions between people) - but it doesn't really help your situation, just some followup information
The slow part is already incorporated in the audio recording.
Could you help me though with my question on whether to divide the frame in two (left , right) and put let's say the woman to the left, the man to the right. I believe this type of composition is usually used in dialogues over the phone isn't it (regardless of the actor being a human or a cartoon), but when it's an human actor then it's obvious who is speaking, with the picture less obvious, but still obvious enough since it's a man and a woman. The other approach could be to use the picture of the man when he is talking on the whole frame and the one of the woman when she is answering. I find it more "natural" to divide the screen in two (left, right), what do you think?
Many thanks for the links, I'll check them out for my curiosity.
All the best and I'm really happy to read your helpful replies and advice.

I would do it face to face such as in the examples you posted. If it is a "telephone" conversation with images, I would still do it face to face , but with a divider . I would position the text more on the side of whoever is speaking at the time. I think it's too distracting to do other things like a ring or highlight the person.
Definitely human is the best for learning. Watching the mouth/facial movements and body language, not necessarily just zooming in on the mouth. The actors don't have to be supermodel good looking or anything like that - just pronounce clearly and speak slowly. Cornucopia is right - the actor part is easy to find , you can find acting students that will do it for free, or people that just want to pad their resume. All they usually need is credit at the end.
You explored the free daz studio before, but the genesis 3 model has more phonemes (still geared towards English), better facial animation, and a face rig with bones that can plug into various programs
Here is a quick "automatic" example, using one of the male voice videos you posted above as the source (funny because it's a female model, doing both voices). Of course you can tweak/refine the movements, add facial expressions to make the character more "alive" - but this was 100% automatically audio driven + text of the words; even the eye blinking and face movements are automatic. (It's a low quality render, poor lighting, poor antialiasing, etc...but just to demonstrate the mouth movements). But it looks like it has slightly improved on the audio driven end for daz.
I still have the issue with the environment which should be modeled which is quite complicated,

At this rate, I'm never going to complete this course.
The photography course requires that I get a tripod. But they are really firm about this being something we should see and touch before buying. My local photography store appears to be out of business.
This is the same course that was so insistent through the entirety of Unit One that I NOT run out and buy ANY equipment. And then, in the last section of the last lesson in Unit One, just before we got to the "assignment" portion, they sprung "tripod" as a requirement. If they had mentioned this a little sooner I'd have been looking for somewhere to get one. But they didn't. That assignment is due before I can move on to the next Unit of the course. I'm already two units behind now.
I'm sure I can borrow a tripod from someone. It will all work out.
The cable company SO does not want my business.
I came home from the car dealership on Saturday, after my appointment that was supposed to be just a state inspection and hopefully get me out of there before the snow got serious, but turned into several hundred in repairs and nearly 6 hours in the dealership. I got home, pealed out of the jeans that had gotten soaked between the parking lot and the front door, took something for my headache and turned on my TV to unwind.
Error message on the screen indicated that there was a problem with the HDMI. The next message told me to try to connect with YPrPb. Do you know what YPrPb means? Neither did I.
So I called the cable company. And called and called and called and called, because the lines were busy. Yeah, OK. It's a snowstorm, I get it. FINALLY I get a person on the phone, and he tells me that the message I'm getting means the system thinks I'm stealing cable, or infringing on copyrights, or something. Um. I'm not. Why would it think that? What do we do about it?
So we play with this setting and that setting, and nothing clears it. Finally he tells me that probably my HDMI cable has just gone bad, and I should switch to using the YPrPb cables.
I'm sorry, that still doesn't mean anything to me.
Oh, those are the red-blue-green cables that are the system default. The ones the technician used to set up your system…
Um. No. I had tons of problems with my system disconnecting previously, and I was told (by the cable company) that I needed HDMI cables to avoid those problems. So the last time the technician was here, he put in a new cable box, and he hooked me up with the brand new HDMI cable that I had bought just for the purpose.
OK, but he should have left you with the other cables too.
OK, well, he didn't.
Well, if you want to come into the office here, we can sell you the YPrPb cables. They should get credited back off your account on your next bill.
You do know there's a snowstorm right now?
Yes, right. Plus that office is about to close for the night, and they aren't open on Sundays. You can come in on Monday. Or you can go out and buy your own replacement HDMI cable, and see if that solves the issue.
So, you'te tellling me that because I was not given whatever I should have been, I now need to run out in a snowstorm to either buy the connectors I should have received but didn't from the cable company, or go elsewhere to get another HDMI cable, and hope that solves the problem, and that in either case I'm probably without TV until at least Monday?
And then this wizard of customer service gives me some baloney about the quality of the HDMI cables I chose (about which he knows nothing) and how these things do happen and you know, if you buy a good computer like a [not a brand I think is so terribly great either] then it lasts longer than if you buy a cheap one… And while he's blathering about the quality of the HDMI cable I purchased and I'm trying to see if the red-yellow-white cables are the same thing as YPrPb (apparently not) I'm getting more and more irritated and thinking, Are you seriously blaming me for this? Because it sounds a lot to me like you're implying to a customer that it's their own fault that they're not going to be receiving services they pay for. Which in another light I might agree with… since after all I have stayed with the company all this time despite consistently terrible service… MY BAD. Oh, you're still blathering about the quality of cables like I care. Are you going to offer me tips on which brands of HDMI cables are less likely to fail? No? Are you going to offer me a discount on my cable bill this month in light of this problem? No? Then you have nothing to offer me in this situation, and I'm done talking to you. (Click)
Interestingly, I have disconnected every cable back there (they're in a pile in front of the TV) and suddenly everything works. I have no idea how it's working, since right now the TV and cable box have no relationship to each other, so I am going with "miracle."
I thought the hill would be the problem.
There is a hill – not quite a mountain, but a Very Big Hill Indeed – that sits between where-I-live and where-I-work. In inclement weather, the routes over the hill become impassable, and are closed. This is my indicator, in general, of whether I'm going to the office or working from home. Can't get over the hill = can't go to work.
Usually I don't know whether I'll be able to get over the hill until I get to the hill but there was actually a road closure and re-open announcement online, so I knew there was a route over. And if the hill isn't a problem, it's all fine, right?
Um, no, that's where I would be wrong. One road closure on my side of the hill was no problem, but on the other side, it's like a tornado blew through, there's so many trees and power lines down and roads closed. After my third detour, I needed to get out the GPS to find any way through. And just as a PS, any day that starts with needing a GPS to get to the office is not really the best of days.
Of course, I did have a GPS, and I did make it in. Ahead of a lot of other people, too.
Before I left for work this morning, I checked in with the corporate emergency line, just to make sure the office was open. No sense in driving hither and yon only to discover the office is without power or something, right? Well, the offices were all open on their normal schedule, so I came in. And got settled in and booted up.
I still had my coat on — it tends to be freakishly cold in the office, especially after a cold weekend. Just as well that I left it on; within minutes of arriving, we were notified that the facilities team was working to resolve heating issues in our building.
And by "heating issues" they meant, we didn't have any heat.
At all.
I ran out for lunch today (to get something hot) and it was exactly the same temperature outside as it had been in.
They got the heat on around 3:30PM. At 5PM the system went back into nighttime mode. Meaning: cold.
I am really glad I bought the heated mouse last year. It was a life-saver today. Plus… some of my colleagues had no heat or power at home. Might not for days.
And all that to say…
I have found a lot to complain about today, but I have no real problems when I stop to think about it.

Buy Moving Boxes For Two Bedrooms
Buy moving boxes for a two bedroom moving kit containing a collection of small, medium and large moving boxes including wardrobe boxes. All kits are accompanied by a selection of packing supplies. Although all moving kits are designed to meet the requirements of different size moves you may find that you will need more packing boxes or wardrobe boxes in order to accommodate a large collection of items such as books, antiques, vintage or an abundance of clothes. Customize any of the moving kits by adding the extra boxes or create your own kit by ordering our bundle boxes, specialty boxes and packing supplies.
Cardboard Moving Boxes
Cardboard Moving Boxes are sold in two different categories at Starboxes.com. For boxes of the same size, you could order small, medium, large and extra large corrugated boxes in bundles and save on the price of the boxes and shipping charges. The second economy category is Moving Box Kits, which all include an assortment of boxes along with the related packaging supplies. The moving kits for the number of the rooms could easily pack anywhere from one to ten room homes. Some specialty kits also include specialty boxes such as wardrobe boxes, flat screen TV boxes or kitchen boxes.
Free Cardboard Boxes
When it comes to free cardboard boxes the odds are stacked against a safe move. Free moving boxes that are normally obtained from local grocery stores have been under stress and pressure during the transit to the stores. Most of the time there is a little or none useful life left on these packing boxes to make them handle the transporting of your valuables.
The same applies to the used moving boxes. The used cardboard boxes are obtained from retailers that have a buyback program with customers who have purchased moving boxes from them and have finished their move already. The problem remains the stress test of the moving boxes and the fact that they have exhausted most of their strength during the first (or perhaps the second) moves. When you buy moving boxes from us you are receiving direct distributor prices on quality moving supplies and if you value your belongings the cost of these supplies are well-justified when all your items arrive undamaged.

It is an agricultural simulation role-playing game series which was created by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Victor Interactive Software before this company was acquired by Marvelous Entertainment and now called Marvelous Inc.
The story is about Nobita and Doraemon finding a mysterious seed which they presumed to be a new plant species, thus Nobita attempted to plant said seed. As the plant was growing well into a tree, a tornado appeared out of nowhere and blew Nobita and friends away into the sky.
Right after they woke up, they realized that they were below a huge tree that they had never seen before. There, they met with a boy called Ranchi. He told the group that they are currently in a town where they have never heard before: Season Town.
Ranchi suggested the group that they should stay at the town and help the villagers until they managed to find their way home. Agreeing to the boy's suggestion, Nobita and friends went their separate ways in that town.While the others are helping the villagers out, Nobita took charge of Ranchi's deteriorating farm by himself.
In this agricultural simulation game, Players can enjoy a farm life where they can control Nobita to take care of the fields and grow many kinds of crops that match the seasons and took care of the farm animals like cows, and chickens. Not only that, Players can experience the slow and care-free life of Nobita as a farmer in Season Town freely what with the abundant amount of residents in the town along with their individual stories throughout the seasons.
Since this is a crossover with Doraemon, a cat robot from the future, Players can use his secret gadgets to further help the town and its people. For example, the famous Anywhere Door could transport Nobita from the Ranch to the Beach in an instant, and there is also a gadget that could increase the crops' growth rate.
The main characters in this game are:
- Nobita (Voiced by Megumi Oohara)
A lazy, and clumsy young boy who despised studying and is inadequate at sports. Despite that, he is very mindful of others and has a kind heart.
- Doraemon (Voiced by Masabi Mizuta)

- Suneo (Voiced by Tomokazu Seki)
Another classmate of Nobita who always speaks politely and clever. In the town he helps out at a restaurant called "MogMoog".
While the villagers from Season Town are:
- Ranchi (Voiced by Ayane Sakura)
A kind boy who discovered Nobita's stranded group in Season Town. He lives together with Pasuchii who had a hard time walking due to old age, and so Ranchi ran the family ranch by himself. He will help in guiding Nobita on how to take care of said ranch.
- Pasuchii (Voiced by Fujiko Takimoto)
The oldest person in Season Town. She lives together with the kind Ranchi and welcomes Nobita's group into her home when they got stranded in the town.
- Yamei (Voiced by Shinpachi Tsuji)

According to the developers, as the Players follow the progress of Nobita and the others' story, the mysterious reason behind the tornado whisking Nobita's group away to Season Town will begin to unfold. The developers also mentioned that the theme of this game is familial love, so expect the main story and the sub-stories to be revolving around the characters' family.
