Reading Response #1

Reading the first couple paragraphs there is the theme of loss. The children in the orphanage have lost someone and maybe have never met them. They have lost friends who they have made at the orphanage over the years. Some children have been at the orphanage so long that they lost the feeling of being loved by someone. Having someone loving you enough to want to adopt you. Not because of what you look like or how you dress but because of youre personality that they can see inside of you. Even Mrs. Sadiq has a loss within her that makes her sad and seeming depressed towards the other children. Reading closer to the end of chapter 3 if no one in the orphanage has lost someone they have now. They are on the edge of losing their home. They're losing their place of belonging.
