This was one of the banned books my library had as a suggested read for teens. I read it with my children. Sciretta, Peter (31 July 2014). "Stephen Daldry's Trash Trailer". slashfilm.com . Retrieved 1 August 2014. With these alone, Trash already feels close to my heart. Not that I like every book I read that resembles or even mentions Philippines/Filipinos in it. (Then again, I haven’t read any book yet about the Philippines that I did not like. :D ) But with this book, I feel very comfortable as if I am watching a teleserye (soap opera) or Tagalog movie, only that the language is in English. An exciting read full of suspense. This will appeal to boys and to girls, and could act as a stimulus to classroom discussion of poverty, child workers, recycling in third world countries and the misuse of economic and political power School Librarian An elderly, frail political prisoner at Colva Prison. Decades ago, Gabriel Olondriz attempted to expose a corrupt politician named Senator Zapanta, but he was imprisoned instead. Raphael, a young boy from the Behala…

The chase leads them throughout the city, exposing the great disparity between the "haves" and the "have nots," and the huge injustice this represents. They face moral dilemmas throughout and, ultimately, make good decisions. Their intelligence and characters make the condition in which they live seem even more unfair Kristin Anderson, School Library Journal güçlü bir roman bu. Gücünü de öncelikle yazarından alıyor. Andy Mulligan, okuruyla alay etmeyen, onu aptal yerine koymayan biri. Anlattığı zor hikâyenin inandırıcılığını sarsacak yollara girmeyen cümleleri ve hayal gücüyle, okuruna son derece hakiki bir öykü sunuyor. Çocukları aldatmanın, sanılanın aksine aslında en zor şey olduğunun o da farkında; bu yüzden de daha ilk satırdan itibaren dürüstlüğü elden bırakmıyor.

a b Hopewell, John (6 September 2014). "Stephen Daldry's 'Trash' To Close Rio Festival". Variety.com . Retrieved 10 October 2015. This book, was simply a task to finish. It didn't draw me in. Writing average. I hoped for the 3 boys to die in the end, anything to stop the misery story. Like the title says, it simply belongs in the 'Trash'. The senator was smart. I was stupid. In this country you pay for being stupid, just as you pay for being poor.” Yeah, this poor dirty starved little garbage boys neither need nor want any of us 'big' people's pity or help, they can create and achieve their own destiny. Hell YEAH!

Andy Mulligan’ın Çöplük isimli romanını yukarıdaki paragrafla özetlemek mümkün aslında. Ancak bu özet, doğru olduğu kadar eksik de. Her şeyden önce, müthiş kurgusuna, çarpıcı gerçekçiliğine ve karakterlerinin derinliğine yapılacak bir haksızlık. 2012 yılında Carnegie Madalyası finalisti de olan Çöplük, gerçekten de temelde bu hikâyeyi anlatıyor; fakat özele inildiğinde, yansıttığı perspektifin, çöp dağları gibi çok katmanlı olduğunu kolayca görülüyor.

This is a YA book but totally different from the YA books that are popular among teens and young people. It neither insults your intelligence nor it makes you escape reality. Those who have read this so far were mostly British young girls and a couple of them wrote that they felt sorry for the boys that they would like to go to Behana (the place where Smoky Mountain used to operate), look for, embrace and comfort the boys. Well, one of them is described as having a killer smile so it might just be a reason too. The book isn't only about poverty. It is also about the disparity which exists between the two extremes (poorest and richest) in the population. The governments or some leaders get millions from international companies, international organisations and from exploiting their fellow countrymen while thousands of people live in inhuman and inhumane conditions. Some courageous persons try to speak and change the situation but they usually die young. The violence is extreme and the democracy is clearly just a name. It is a pity nothing more is done on our part, really. I liked the fact that this story could be universal because no emphasis was put on a precise country.The film was distributed outside of North America by Universal Pictures International. [10] The film had its world premiere at the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival on 7 October 2014. [11] Sure, but I’m not sure what the connection between South London and the books I’ve written might be – I haven’t given it much thought. I had a safe and happy childhood half an hour from central London. I went to a boys’ grammar school, and English was the one subject that I really enjoyed. I met teachers who cared passionately about literature, and instilled some kind of work-ethic. But I think my books have emerged from much later experiences – the wildness of teaching overseas, and – in the case of ‘Trash’ – the enormity of meeting street kids. Yoksul bir üçüncü dünya ülkesindeki zengin-yoksul uçurumlu bir şehir; ve o şehrin en kötü mahallelerinden birinde, çöplüğün içinde yaşayan üç çocuk. Raphael, Gardo ve Jun-Jun. Bir gün o üç çocuk, günlük rutinlerini gerçekleştirirken –yani çöp toplarken– hayatlarını tümden değiştirecek bir şeyle karşılaşırlar ve kendilerini sosyopolitik bir maceranın içinde bulurlar. Andy Mulligan: Stephen Daldry cast three favela kids, with a charisma that lights up the screen – and when I met them on the set I’m afraid they broke me. Photograph: Andy Mulligan In the last chapter—collectively narrated by Raphael, Gardo, Rat, and Pia—the four of them sneak onto a train wearing the donated school uniforms (blending in with other school kids) and they ride nine hours to Sampalo. They since learned to fish, bought fishing boats, and they plan to live out the rest of their days happy and clean on the beach.
