Answer:

The similarities and differences of the four March sisters help propel the plot because the reader won't be able to determine how the situation would end.  To illustrate, Jo is the "man of the family" and is very confident, Beth is shy Amy is selfish, and Meg is  the leader of the sisters. For example, the author states, "I'm the oldest," began Meg, but Jo cut in with a decided, "I'm the man of the family now while papa is away..." (Source one). This shows how Jo claims to be the man of family, even though Meg is the oldest. Secondly, the author states, " I only meant to change the little bottle for a big one, and I gave all my money to get it, and I'm truly trying not to be selfish any more," (Source one). Amy is trying to be less selfish which the reader would not have expected. In conclusion, the four sisters similarities and differences propel the plot in ways that the reader might not have been able to predict.
