Central Station (Brazil)

This story, Central Station, talks about its culture in the poor way it is.  It talks about that Brazil is so poor in the way that children are just living out there living in the street.  Their parents die and theyre just left alone just like in the case of this child, Josue, in the story, his dad left them and his mom died.  But yet it also talks about that people cant even read or write, they have to pay other people to do it for them as when they do letters and such things like that.  In this story you have to be lucky to be succesful.



Journal:
The type of family relationship that Dora and Josue form is very much like our families because they stick out for eachother and like wait for each other in like whats going to happen in their future, not like a hello and goodbye.  The importance of family to me is having someone to look up to and protect you.  Family should always stick together because then it really aint a real family, that's what real family is all about.
