"Kitty's Class Day and Other Stories" by Louisa May Alcott is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The opening story, "Kitty's Class Day," focuses on a young girl named Kitty as she prepares for an exciting event in her life, filled with plans and aspirations about her attire and how she hopes to present herself at the occasion. At the start of the story, Kitty is filled with enthusiasm and excitement about attending her Class Day celebration, eagerly discussing her outfit with her sister Priscilla. Their conversation highlights the social pressures of appearance, particularly for young girls, as Kitty insists on having a fashionable dress for the event, despite their family's modest means. The narrative captures the charming yet hasty preparations, including sewing and altering a dress, and the anticipation of the day ahead. However, as Kitty navigates the ups and downs of her social interactions during the celebration, she learns valuable lessons about identity, self-acceptance, and the true meaning of elegance beyond mere appearances.
