maggie's Door blog Conflict #3
Have you ever wanted to go anywhere or better yet had to go some where because where you are isn’t safe or there is no food or shelter? In Maggie’s Door by Patricia Reilly Giff a lot of realistic stuff happens throughout the book, because there is no food where Nory is already at. The main character Nory is trying to get to Brooklyn New York where her sister and her brother in law are supposed to be living. On the way Nory and her best friend Sean Red her sister's husband's brother both take horrible loses. Sean’s mother decides that she is too old to even try to make the voyage to America. Nory faces a death of her grandpa on the ship going to America, and again he is an older guy. When they get to America the book has a very happy ending. I can compare the conflict in this book to the conflict in Parvana’s journey because both of them are trying to get to America. In Parvana’s book her and her love ends up staying in Vietnam because of choice which has a very happy ending. In Nory’s book she makes it to America, but has to pay the price to get there. Also both of them go through most of the book with the ones they love and settle down with at the end of the book which I think makes the book a lot better.
