Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

Hello again! I have one more book to tell you about. It's called "The invention of HUGO CABRET" by Brian Selznick.
This book talks about Hugo Cabret, a boy that lives in a train station in Paris in the year 1931. Hugo became orphan when his father died in a fire in the museum he was working. He went to live with his uncle to the train station were he learned how to repair the clocks and those.
Suddenly, his uncle disappears. Hugo doesn't want to go to and Orphanage so he continues repairing the clocks and stealing food for eating.
He feels sad and lonely. He misses his father a lot and the android that he was repairing. This android had a pencil on his hand and it was like to write something but it was broken. Hugo's father wanted to know what it would write and so he tried to make it work. When he died, the android was with him, at the museum.
One night, Hugo finds the android in the rests of the burned structure.
With a notebook that his father left him with drawings about how to repair it he tries so.
But one day, trying to steal a toy for using it's mechanical pieces, the owner catches him and takes his book. It seems to Hugo that this men knows something about the android... what would happen?
