The Family Under the Bridge by Natalie Savage Carlson

By Dao

Having a home and staying together with family is important to our life. The family under the bridge is about an old hobo name Armand who lives alone under a bridge in Paris and who doesn't like children. But three homeless children and their mother come to share his place and he helps themto find a home by helping them, he learns to like children and he become a part of their family. The genre is realistic fiction because there are poor and homeless children and old people in big cities all over the world.

I like this book because of the beautiful setting. Although I have never been in Paris I read about famous chirgh name Nortre Deme Cathitral and the Lovre museum. I also enjoy reading about the charactor. Armand is a poor old man with out a home but he is kind, genoerous and always cheerful. At frist he didn't like children but later he come to love the three kids who are homeless

I feel very sorry for the three kids Paul Susy and Evelyne become their father is died and their mother had no job and they don't want to be separated to be put in different home.

I think our class will like this book become it is about being a family and helping people who are poor. When I read this book I feel lucky that I have a nice family and home.
