What Is The Connection Between Molly And Niamh's Orphan Train

This book Changed me because it changed how I viewed society

Personally, for me the book changed my way of viewing muslims and immigrants. It is true that a minority of them have committed terrorism or will but we can't let a minority affect the majority of them and just hate every aspect of them. If we do that then that just shows how inconsiderate and selfish we are as a nation. After 9/11 took place, it seems like every muslim is stereotyped as a murderer or terrorist. I still understand why majority of America doesn’t want one single muslim here, because they have been involved in most of the terrorist attacks that have took place in our country and mainly we don’t know what their attitude is.

For example, when Alexandra finally admitted that she was lonely made me finally realize how strong she was. It takes a lot of guts and bravery to admit your true feelings. Another example is when Emil came back from Mexico and out of nowhere kissed Marie on the lips even though she was married! I never would’ve thought that was gonna happen. I was super happy when it did happen though. Even though they didn’t end up together, i’ve always liked the thought of them being a couple even though she was married. Emil seemed like a better fit for her. Frank seemed like a jerk to Marie. Emil on the other hand, seemed like the man who would take amazing care of Marie and keep her happy. He seemed like the man who would love to have a family with her. He has kept his feelings for her to himself until that very moment where it seemed perfect. He leaned over and kissed her. His love was so very strong that he couldn’t even hold it in anymore. This book is filled with many thrills and ups and downs. It helps you relate and connect with the plot and the characters and makes you understand the whole concept of knowing that being human isn’t all perfect all the time. It shows that you're going to cry sometimes. It shows how there is despair and agony in life. It helps you understand what it truly means to be

Not only does this book have a greater impact but you get a greater understanding with what is going on. Usually, when reading a regular book with no pictures it is hard to connect to what is happening in the story, sometimes it is hard to understand what is happening. With a book like this that has many pictures along with text is puts you in the experience, emotionally, and visually. Another good thing about this book is that it is appealing to many ages and groups of people. Another thing that was amazingly shown in this book was all the racism these people had to take. This book had almost as much impact as Selma.

Orphan Train The book Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is an impactful story that makes readers remember to be grateful and is filled with realness and remarkable coincidental moments.

Random moments of loss and connection” (Baker Kline 260).

The orphan trains finally stopped in 1930 for several reasons, including a decreased need for farm labor in the Midwest and increased efforts by social service agencies to keep struggling families together. The rise of the welfare system made a major difference, helping with financial support for children, who, in an earlier age, might have taken to the streets(Warren, 1998)

It showed me that the world has changed over time and things

Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going

World War I began in 1914 but America remained neutral until its entrance into the war in 1917. The U-boats sinking of the British liner Lusitania in 1915, the sinking of five American ships in 1917, and the “Zimmerman telegram” sent from Germany to Mexico led up to America’s declaration of war. America’s involvement in World War I not only impacted the war front but also the home front.

The book made me feel sorry for Saroo, who had lived a troubled childhood. Before getting lost he lived in a poor village in India, where his mother and three siblings had to sleep in one small room and sometimes had to beg for food to strangers. One day Saroo and his brother went to the railway station, to search for loose change and they caught a train that was two hours away from their house, later when they got off the train Saroo was tired so his brother told him to rest on the bench and told him he will comeback but that was the last time Saroo saw his brother. It made me feel sorry for the great number of children who live in poverty and how they struggle to survive.
