Did you have such a street when you were a child? Book list

Childhood is a hometown that everyone can't go back to. When you grow up and return to the street where you used to live, you may feel that things have changed, or you may feel that you have never left, and you are still a simple child.

In the writer's pen, there are also many streets related to childhood. Reading those stories, you will see your childhood in a trance.

The following is a list of books on the theme of "streets of childhood" that I have compiled. I hope you can see the changes of an era besides your childhood.

Living on Mango Street is an American Latino immigrant girl. She moved several times before coming here, but it is narrow and cramped, and it is not an ideal home. Here, she recorded the life of the Mango family and the story of her family and neighbors in her diary. With a girl's innocence, with the lightness of language to resolve the troubles and pains in life. There are lovely illustrations in the book, which show us what the world is like in the eyes of girls.

This is also an American story, which happened in Trinidad, but the hero of the story was changed to a little boy. Miguel street is home to a group of "weird" little people;

We may not have lived in slums, but we have seen and heard of such "weirdos", and adults will avoid them, but in the eyes of children, they are actually very interesting. Miguel Street is a bit like a small town freak (now translated as Fort Wines, Ohio). There are many strange people in one area. It is the image of a street and a small town, and it is also the epitome of an era and a class.

Chestnut Street took us to our more unfamiliar Eastern Europe, and the hero was also a little boy. As a descendant of Jews on the eve of World War II, his childhood was mixed: picking chestnuts on the grass, helping villagers clean chicken coops, picking mushrooms with his mother and sister, and surviving a massacre ... His naive perspective seemed to reduce the degree of tragedy and disaster, but his carefree childhood set off the cruelty of war and persecution. While appreciating the beauty of words, we also have to think about history and the many disasters it has brought.

Schultz's works show a strange world, with a little Kafka absurdity, including a crazy woman sleeping in the street, a father who keeps rare birds and animals in the attic, and a fantasy trip at night ... Reading, you will wonder if those plots are true or out of boys' imagination. Did father really become a cockroach? Does Crocodile Street really exist on the map?

But those absurd plots are not difficult to understand. In the world of childhood, several streets may be mazes, and the specimens collected in the attic may be monsters that give you nightmares, but Schultz fixed them on paper with layers of metaphors. Reading Crocodile Street is like reuniting with the strange imagination of childhood.

Finally, let's go back to the southern town of China. Toona Street is full of hot-blooded teenagers who are keen on fighting, young and bloody. They are lonely and helpless, resist the injustice of fate, are swallowed up by fate, and eventually grow into adults who struggle for their daily lives in Xiangchun Street. The gloomy, damp and depressing Toona Street may be the childhood of many of us.

What kind of street is there in your childhood memory? Welcome to share.
