Writing Starter 17

Think back to when you were you young. Let’s say elementary school or younger. What was your favorite book, TV show, movie or play? Name it and then spend about 10-15 sentences talking about what it was that made this item your favorite.

When I was younger, my favorite book was the Boxcar Children. I honestly don't have a lot of memories of reading, mostly because I didn't do it often. I also didn't watch TV or movies because my mom didn't believe in it. So the only reason I choose this book is because it is the only thing I can remember reading or watching before 6th grade. This book is basically about siblings who don't have a mom or dad so they end up living in this abandoned train car. Eventually they meet their uncle and go live with him or whatever, but the main point is these kids fend for themselves in this boxcar while having to deal with hiding from civilization so they don't get taken from an orphanage. I guess I liked this book because I thought it'd be really cool to live in a train car. Maybe I liked this book because of the mystery and anticipation built around whether or not these kids would get caught. Who really knows why I liked it, honestly. My mom probably remembers, but I don't remember that detailed stuff about my childhood.
