"I meant it. I would be back for them."(pg 55) The reason I find it particularly good is because it not only shows his feelings. It also reveals how he has changed, as in the beginning he talks about wanting to brag to his friends and little else. Now he is going far enough to ensure that he will return again]]> 2017-11-06 03:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203723860 adperry100 https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203724989 "I looked forwoard to my visits with the seven children. The children at little princes were like brothers and sisters; going back to them was like going home to family"(pg89) i feel while similer in content to the last passage holds a meaning greater then the sum of its parts. Hes saying he not only cares for them, but sees them as family and still holds them dearly to his heart. Also he continues to love them and shows no sign of exhaustion.]]> 2017-11-06 03:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203724989 adperry100 https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203730299 On page 145 a discussion between the kids and conor. The kids are in disbelief that they not only have people who can care for them, but also an intact house to live in.
""Our house"
"Your house"
"A pause"
"Our house"
"We sleep here"
"Your beds are up stairs"" (pg 145)

I feel the paragraph and the proceeding one are highly important as they show him succeeding and not only that but having a nice meal with the family and connecting with them." I broght the children and their father into the canteen to buy them a meal, and we sat together for the next hours, saying little except with our hands"(pg 218)]]> 2017-11-06 04:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203732890 adperry100 https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203736980 the paragraph on pages 230-231 are amazing, in it conor thinks of how he is about to tell Jagrit his father, mother, brother, and sister are alive and miss him. "There is no easy way to tell a boy who had grown up believing his parents were dead that i had, just ten days earlier, met his father." it goes on  and is amazing. the impact it had on this kid and how he now knows his father is alive. Aside from the impact it also shows the final step in a progression of achievements of reuniting.]]> 2017-11-06 05:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203736980 adperry100 https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203740822 Whats great about this book is how he progresses in and toward NGN he starts off not even wishing to help but simpily to say he did. to loving the kids. To thinking them as family. To start of NGN . To connecting a family. To showing an "orphan" that his parents are alive and miss him.]]> 2017-11-06 05:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adperry100/vsjbgnlz0s34/wish/203740822
