The Family Under The Bridge

//The Family under the Bridge // //By: Violet Johnson // Do you want to know who lived under a bridge? Do you also want a book that has a happy ending? Well the book The Family under the Bridge has a happy ending. The story is written by Natalie Savage Carlson. The story was very heartwarming and I strongly recommend it.

The plot was much explained and kept me glued to my chair. One part that kept me glued to my chair was that Armand was trying to find a job. What also kept me glued is that after Armand found children who he called ‘’starlings’’ .He said ‘’One is better off without them.’’ to other hobos. When he went back he found three starlings under his bridge!

The theme was much explained. Armand was trying to find a job. But he had no home. He met the Chalet family. The bridge was his! The setting was very amazing! I felt as if I was in it. She used all five senses. One sentence was ‘’the walnuts felt warm in my hands.’’. Another sentence would be ‘’ the cakes were hot in the palm of my hands.’’.

The characters were very well described! The characters were Armand, and the Chalet family. Armand was a hobo. The family were starting to be hobos, but were once were living in a house. The gypsies were travelers. Gypsies were housing them near the end of the story.

The language in this story is used well. She used a variety of metaphors, and similes. She also used describing words. She described everything! She did very well.

The book itself is great! The book is very sweet. The book was thin and crafty. One sentence is that Armand had the children sing for money. Another sentence is that Armand was horribly angry then as sweet as candy. This is why I strongly recommend this book to others.
