Trash by Andy Mulligan takes place in a third world and is about three boys who live in a dump site. All they do all day is just rummage through all of the junk. One day, while the boys were searching, they found something that the police were searching for but instead of turning it in, they keep it and the story revolves around the uneducated boys to deal with all of the consequences that come along with keeping the bag. I think the theme in Trash is to not let your background underestimate you. Raphael, Rat, and Gardo were very poor boys and some of them didn't even have parents. The boys had no guidance whatsoever in this large journey of theirs but still manages to succeed even with big problems. I know that Rat is called Rat because he has no parents and all he really has in rodents as family. And most of the people in that third world "live in boxes...stacked up tall and high".. This shows how poor they were and how some were family less.
