Can you recommend some good books about orphans in fiction?

One great book is 'Oliver Twist' by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of an orphan named Oliver who endures many hardships in a cruel world. Another is 'Anne of Green Gables' which features an orphan girl, Anne, who brings warmth and life to the people around her on Prince Edward Island. There's also 'The Secret Garden' where Mary, an orphan, discovers a hidden garden and it changes her life for the better.

Often, these books show the orphans' struggle for identity. Since they lack a family structure in the traditional sense, they are constantly seeking who they are. For example, in 'Oliver Twist', Oliver tries to find his place in a world full of thieves and hypocrites.

Well, it's not easy to find a single book that encompasses all these elements precisely. But if you think about it, in some global or diaspora literature, there could be some works that have characters of different ethnic backgrounds like Italian, Irish and Chinese, and among them, there might be orphan characters. You could start by looking at multicultural or immigrant - themed fiction collections in libraries or online bookstores to increase your chances of finding something relevant.

The 'Persepolis' series can also be considered in a way. It's about a young girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It shows her journey as an 'orphan' in a sense, cut off from the world she once knew, through beautiful and poignant graphics.

One example is 'The Blind Side'. It tells the true story of Michael Oher, who was a homeless and traumatized boy. He became an orphan in a sense, and a family took him in. The story shows his journey from a difficult situation to achieving great things in football and in life.

One such movie is 'Lion'. It tells the real - life story of Saroo, an Indian orphan who gets lost and then is adopted by an Australian couple. Years later, he uses Google Earth to try and find his hometown and his biological family. It's a very moving story of an orphan's journey to find his roots.

Well, 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson is really good. It combines cyberpunk elements with a unique take on future society, language, and virtual reality. 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons is a complex and multi - layered story. It weaves together the tales of different characters on a pilgrimage to a mysterious planet. And 'The War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells is a classic science fiction that introduced the idea of an alien invasion and still has the power to thrill readers today.

Another is 'My Sister's Keeper' by Jodi Picoult. It delves into the complex relationship between sisters. One sister was born to be a donor for her ill sister. The story explores the moral and ethical issues that arise from this situation, as well as the deep emotional connection between the two sisters.

Yes. 'The Catcher in the Rye' is an interesting one. You can discuss Holden Caulfield's character and his coming - of - age journey. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' offers a chance to blog about its absurd and fantastical elements. Also, 'The Hunger Games' series, with its post - apocalyptic world and strong female lead, is a great option for a blog.

Sure. 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman is a great one. It weaves a complex story around different gods from various mythologies living in modern America. Another is 'The Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series, which features the Greek gods in a contemporary world, especially suitable for younger readers interested in adventure and mythology. Also, 'The Sandman' by Neil Gaiman has elements of gods and is a very imaginative and well - written piece of fiction.
