As I read, some of the things that I come across are unbelievable. For example, Rat literally lives with rats. That's basically how he got his nickname. He doesn't have any family as well. I feel very bad not only for Rat, but for the many children that have to pick trash to support their families. This is heartbreaking and no child should ever live this way. Another example is the fact that education isn't important to the citizens of Behala. In the book, they stated that each year, the amount of children who go to school decreases. In Behala, they don't believe that education is important because why waste time learning when you're just going to end up picking trash? This is terrible and every child deserves an education. Overall, these children have no future and they have to look forward to picking trash to live.
Reading this book makes me feel many ways. I feel melancholy but also very intrigued. This book makes me feel unhappy because of what the children in Behala have to go through. Everyday, children with hardly any family, pick through trash in order to get food and the essentials to live. Some children don't even live in homes, but in trash. Also, they don't have the proper education at all. This book also keeps me intrigued because everything is unexpected for me. Just when I think one thing is about to happen, something totally opposite happens. This book keeps me interested and there's always a plot twist. This book has a much deeper meaning than you think. This book is new to me and I enjoy it a lot.

ReplyDeleteDena, your blog really opened my mind. Last year we did literature circles and this book didn't interest me based on the summary in the back. After reading your blog, I kind of feel like reading it now. I enjoy the abnormal in books and movies. Abnormal would be a good way to describe this book which is why I'm a little more open to reading it. Hopefully I could find some time to read it.
ReplyDeleteDena, this is absolutely great. You did such a great job at describing your book and how you felt exactly. By the way you've described it, now I want to read it. It's good that you're feeling many ways about a book, it's clear you enjoy it, maybe others will too.
