Stay Where You Are And Then Leave

Product Information

Es un libro con un final "feliz" que revela el duro pasar de los años y la evolución obligada que implica la guerra en los niños. Since that unforgettable morning when Georgie left for the station to go and fight, things could never be the same for Alfie and his mum again. The fact that his mother tries to shield him from adult troubles leads him to draw his own conclusions, and, ultimately, to take action to fix the problem as he sees it.

What kind of fool wouldn't be afraid, going over to some foreign country to dig out trenches and to kill as many strangers as you could before some stranger could kill you? many people are impoverished; goods needed for daily life are scarce and there is an atmosphere of suspicion and malice hanging over not only Alfie's neighborhood, but the whole country.While secretly working as a shoeshine boy to help his mother put food on the table during WW1, the nine year old lad discovers an important clue regarding his father's whereabouts and plans a secret mission resulting in his first ever train ride and some pretty unnerving experiences when he arrives at his destination. One day, by chance, Alfie discovers his father is in a hospital not far from London, and makes his way there in an effort to find a way to bring him back home.

Sí, pensé “pobrecito” muchas veces, poniéndome en la piel de un/a hijo/a que debe convivir con la idea de que el padre puede morir en el frente en cualquier segundo, y así y todo las lágrimas se quedaron en mis ojos. In common with most of the heroes of my books for younger readers, Alfie Summerfield in Stay is honest, good-hearted, optimistic and a passionate reader. After reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, I was sold on John Boyne as well as the enjoyment of reading young adult novels. Tal vez le falta insertarse de un modo natural y no con un personaje que lo saque a colación (como Joe o las personas que van a lustrarse los zapatos). Margie reveals that he is part of a top-secret government mission, but Alfie believes that his mother just won't face the reality of his father's death.His first short story was published by the Sunday Tribune and in 1993 was shortlisted for a Hennessy Literary Award. I feel like not as much attention is paid to World War I and so I'm quite excited to see just how much children will learn from Stay Where You Are and Then Leave.

I've always liked children's books where the main protagonist, like David Copperfield, has to become the hero of his own story, solving whatever problems are presented through his own ingenuity rather than relying on the assistance of grown-ups. The next day while Alfie was working he discovered that Margie knew that his father was at the hospital since she got on a train to go to the hospital. First-hand sources, for all their inconsistency, impartiality and frequent self-contradiction, remain the soundest foundation for a first person narrative and I grew to care very deeply for the lost boys whose spirits I aimed to recreate on the page. John Boyne: I grew to care very deeply for the lost boys whose spirits I aimed to recreate on the page.I love the way how John Boyne tackles tough issues such as an absentee parent and war from the perspective of a child. Although Boyne did not mention Comerford by name, he referenced someone who "admitted that he’d been engaged in a determined campaign of 'relentless harassment'", and then "slithered back to his subterranean cavern to lick his wounds". John Boyne schafft es hier auf wenigen Seiten eine Intensität der dramatischen Ereignisse im 1 Weltkrieg zu transportieren,das man wie gebannt den Hauptprotagonisten Alfie folgt.

The day the First World War broke out, Alfie Summerfield’s father promised he wouldn’t go away to fight – but he broke that promise the following day. The former concerns itself with a homosexual relationship formed in the trenches between two young soldiers at very different stages of their emotional development, while the latter examines the war as seen from home through the eyes of a nine year-old boy, Alfie Summerfield. Georgie’s wife and mother are devastated, but Georgie says there's nothing to worry about, that they say the war will “be all over by Christmas. To 2014 λόγω της επετείου των 100 χρόνων από τον πρώτο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο, πολλά βιβλία κυκλοφόρησαν σχετικά με αυτό το θέμα.Being aimed at a slightly younger audience also meant it wasn't nasty or graphic in the way war stories for teens can be meaning I can happily recommend it to younger or more sensitive students without worrying about them being traumatised by what they are reading. Even though the story could have been edited better, this novel will capture the hearts of young readers. Quedense en la trinchera y luego corran de John Bonyne es una novela súper conmovedora y llena de reflexiones. Alfie cumple cinco años el mismo día que el Imperio Austro-Húngaro le declara la guerra a Serbia y empieza oficialmente la Primera Guerra Mundial.
