 * Name of article: (link) Talk:Little Women (2019 film)
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I have chosen this article to evaluate not only because it is a film and we are in a film class but it is also a rendition of the book Little Women, the third version, and the recent version of Little Women. I recently watched this movie during the semester and thought it would be interesting to take a look at it's Wikipedia page.

 * Guiding questions

I believe it does deal with the equity gaps a little and does not talk much about the history behind women representation in writing but I think that's for another page. Although it could be referenced in the beginning of the authors introduction.

Tone and Balance
