The Blog Post of Hugo Cabret

   The Invention off Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick, is about an orphan clock fixer living in the walls of a train station in Paris, France. Hugo's life is all about being hidden from the world and depending on himself to fix the clock in the station and his dead father's mechanical man hoping that it will write a message to him. I think that Hugo doesn't deserve a lot of things but things always happen for a reason.
   The mechanical man the Hugo's father has been working gets damaged in the fire he died and it's up to Hugo to fix it. I think that Hugo's job to fix the man is a very honorable job because when he does fix it, he finds a secret that no one knew except Monsier Labbise or Georges Méliès. Hugo, Isabelle, and Isabelle's godmother found out a secret very deep that could of change society if they knew sooner. This shows that things, especially in this book, happen for a reason and add to the mystery of life.
   Hugo may not want bad things to happen to add to his hidden, brutal life but it does and Hugo toughens it out and take on the challenges of the consequences after they happen. Hugo can't control almost anything but he tries to make lemonade out of the dirty lemons he has.
