Family

In this story, the dump site people are like a whole family in the dump site  Gardo is one of the character that have no family at all. He thinks Raphael is his brother or cousin. The other character that doesn't have mom and dad is Raphael. The only person that he has is Gardo and his aunt  One example that shows that the dump site people are like a whole family is when the police took Raphael to the police station. Gardo and the other dump site people tried to safe Raphael from the police but they could not safe him  because the police are big and strong. So Gardo tried to chase the police car but he wasn't fast enough. I think that is what family means in this story . Family means to help other people that are not the same with you even though their not in your family.
