Jennings Micheal Burch learned to stand up for himself
Jennings Michael Burch wrote about the life he had to live when he was a young child. He wrote how it was when he was sent to placement homes. His lfe was all about moving to different foster homes. Jennings,at first,Didnt know how these homes worked but quickly learned after he was punished for even the smallest wrong move. In these homes Burch learned how to stand up for himself and to have a stronger approach to life. Through out the whole book he overcomes obsitcles that he never thought he could overcome. One reason why I liked this book was because Jennings had a pet stuff animal dog and he had the dog say what Jennings was really feeling. I thought it was really interesting and creative. Another reason why I liked reading this book was because I feel it is one of the best books Ive ever read. I liked the way Jennings wrote the actual events that he went through and it made me feel like he was telling his story to me in person. Through out the whole book he kept me interested by sharing his goals and how he overcame all his fears.

Excellent book
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is horrifying how that little boy was treated but he triumphed through it all. This book will definately make you cry, but the true life story will keep you turning pages until the very end in one sitting.

A touching story about a young boy overcoming obstacles
"
They
Cage
the
Animals
at
Night
" is a great and touching story. In this book the author,Jennings Micheal Burch, Told the tramatic events that happened troughout his childhood. At a very young age his mother took him to a Childrens home without telling him where he was, how long he was staying or even why he was there. Every time his mother came back to get him, he would soon be shiped to another home. Every place he went he made friends but Jennings soon learned the cruelty of the nuns as they beat him, how to say good bye,except tragedy, and to expect pain and disapointment. Burch finally realised(With the help of a bus driver)that all of these things were a part of life and doesnt mean that he cant accomplish his goals and live his dreams. One reason why I liked reading this book was because it gave me a reality check. It helped me to realise that just because someone is different from me doesnt mean I have to jugde them.I now know how important it is to get to know others before i judge them.I also liked this book because it showed that no matter how bad your life has been it isnt to late to follow your dreams. This story shows a great example on how holding onto your dreams can make all the difference in life.

A must for all who want to adopt
This book is essential reading for all people thinking to adopt a child, whatever child. The situation of orphans or foster children might have improved over the last decades, but if you think about adopting internationnally who knows what your child went through. Here you get a glimpse of what it is like to live in a home, to be put away without knowing why, the shock, the sadness and especially the fear. But it also talks about the essentials : love, friendship, loss, hope and survival. It makes you understand that the child you adopt can't trust you straight away (you are just another adult), but it also shows you how desperate is the search for love and just a normal life !
