A sunny and windy day, I lay in bed spent a day to read the "Orphan Train", and then see the teacher in the group to urge reading notes, think since all read, write an article.
In fact, my impression of the book is not very good, because the book is sealed on the "warm countless hearts of the Book of Hope," and I have such a heart chicken soup is always more exclusive. The original reason to buy back this book is a special three Ben 27, and three contains the Chinese writer Woo Shi has always wanted to see the "Silent Confession" and the works of the east, and I usually used to put the things I like at the end (what a ghost habit), so I first saw it, but after reading it is still good.
has been reading the teacher recommended "A Brief History of mankind", very much like, but this book thought digestion and absorption takes time, so has been intermittent to read for six months, and now still have more than 50 pages unread, and the contents of the front also some remember, there is no time to come to a reading notes.
Below, the body.
Description: This story takes a double-line structure. The first line was 2011, rebel Goth girl Molly had to engage in community service by stealing a copy of the school library--helping a 91-year-old rich old lady to tidy up the attic and triggering the second line, the old Lady Vivian's life memories. Irish girl Nikki with scraps of alcoholic father and a nervous mother and a vote of brothers and sisters to New York, but the chaotic and poor life has not changed, eventually to a fire, Nicole became an orphan, was sent to the middle west by the orphan train to the Midwest region, along the way to choose the adoption of people, Tiffany was chosen by a clothing company's male and female bosses and renamed Dorothy. The female boss is very mean to Dorothy, orders her to keep working for a moment, even did not send her to go to school, finally the company appeared the economic crisis, they will send Dorothy away. The second family has a strong reproductive capacity, gave birth to a large number of children, the male master does not work to rely on hunting self-sufficiency life, the hostess is lying in bed all day, Dorothy in this disgusting environment to help care for children, hard but at least can go to school, eventually due to the male master of sexual harassment and the expulsion of the hostess, Dorothy ran away from home. Dorothy, after a short stay in the apartment room where she cared for her teacher, spent a long time in life, but the teacher was not able to raise Dorothy. In the end Dorothy was a kind and lost son of the large supermarket owner couple adopted, renamed Wei Wei Ann, and began a stable and prosperous life. When she grew up, she met the boy who was sitting next to her on the orphan train and fell in love, but soon after the war took his life, the Vivian was pregnant, ironically, she had never been born out of the shadow of an orphan, sent her daughter to an orphanage at birth, and married his dead husband's comrades, and lived a rich and placid life. A few years ago her husband died, without children, alone, until she met Molly.
According to the actress Wei Wei Ann, her life in the first husband after the loss of the end, then there is nothing to talk about, in the novel is also a stroke.
This book attracts me is precisely the first half part of the tragic childhood, the train on the long-distance bumps, because of the age is too big to adopt the embarrassment, met one after another with malicious bad people. "I know so much, I've seen the most despicable, desperate, selfish side of people, and all this has made me wary. So I learn to disguise, learn to smile and nod, learn to pretend to feel empathy when nothing touches. I study pretending, pretending to indistinguishable with the crowd, even if the heart is already fragmented. "The 11-year-old woman who describes herself, the fate of her own innocence and self, took her security and the trust of people, wearing a mask of hypocrisy ignoble." This situation even after the good days, and still did not improve, always feel that she used their own performance to please the adoption of their own families, to their parents respectfully as subordinate to face the leadership, and friends around also incompatible with, just in the very hard to flatter, have a very difficult. So until I met the boy who came by the same train, she finally showed her true self, and found someone who knew her own situation. Though fate took him away.
The novel's wedge reads, "I believe there are ghosts in the world, ghosts that have left us in the past and linger today." I have always felt in my life that they were around, or watching or witnessing, "perhaps ghosts cannot replace the living, but I have no choice but to comfort myself or fall down and Ganchangcunduan the lost desolating."
The female master finally did not come tumbling down, also did not have the Ganchangcunduan, although she was the fate ruthless teasing, but also gave the destiny fatal blow, she tenacious lived to 91 years old. Perhaps someone will spit groove, female master suffered so much in childhood, how the heart of his own daughter sent to the orphanage, home so rich is not incapable of raising, it is a failure. But I think this is not only a failure is not a failure of the image of the heroine is perfect, is the character of the contradiction of characterization, I always believe that human beings themselves also follow the law of Conservation of energy (self-made), the female owner has always shown us the rules, plain, tenacious positive energy, then must also have the fate of the shadow of the soul Has its own potential negative energy, positive energy and negative energy conservation is a stable "perfect", which side too much will be wrong. The person who radiates positive energy is not the real person, that is the character of the newspaper, is the biography of the leader, and the female master of this negative psychological description, the female principal and subordinate "character" entrusted back, become a "others"-and "oneself" opposite "others", perhaps made their own do not understand the choice, But that is because of different fate and the psychological environment, in short, "Others" life, you will not understand, do not need you judge.
As for the ending, Molly helped Vivian find the lost daughter, but also a classic "European Reunion", but I am not so persistent happy ending, although the outcome of the cure, but I see this book is not to seek cure, if the cure, I will see Bilibili on the funny video, will watch the food show, Will look at the department of Comic Books, in short, from a book called "Orphan Train" to find a cure. So I think that the outcome is dispensable, anyway, the life has been said, the next how has no matter, like the wonderful film has been finished, tidbits you can not see.
About the fate of this great devil, maybe I have some fatalism, I think that constantly recklessly recklessly can change the fate is nonsense (many American movies are advocating this theme I am disgusted), this world, some of our seemingly accidental encounters, in fact, there is an inevitable element in traction, not the human can change, But this does not mean that we should give up the fight to wait for the fate of the knife, because some of the fate of the line, is only through their own struggle to be possible to open (like playing games), for this possibility you should also have a try, otherwise boring life, you idle there will only be more boring and degenerate. In short, to do the personnel, Shun Providence, presumably this is the truth.
I have never seen an orphan, or a man as miserable as a woman, and few have a life as big as a woman. But the people I know and the life I know, there are always some big or small hardships of fate, and I will not deny it because of this novel: "Our pain is nothing compared to the Lord's history or the history of the universe, and I think that all the things that make you miserable are worthy of respect, While some may sound trivial insignificant, the trauma that it brought to the parties at that time might not be less than taking an orphan train, and everyone was suffering with pain, and the ability to accept pain was not the same (someone was born vulnerable and easily injured). It must be a sickness for someone who has not felt the pain for so long.
Fortunately, most of us from the fate of the pain brought out, no crashing down, no desire to die, with the passage of time, we will miss the opportunity to say sorry, to leave the people said Byebye, to the face of the challenge to say hello, To the past cowardly and mournful self and himself all night night tangled problem said: Oh ah, good fun. In fact, as long as we live, and can face the sun tomorrow to reveal a heartfelt smile, we have not been defeated by fate.
Although we are not orphans, but we are in the fate of the train, with their own unique and can not tell the loneliness and vision, do not know where the next stop to where to go, the fate of what will bring us a future. Willing to follow the fate of the displaced.
