The Invention of Hugo Cabret


The Invention of Hugo Cabret is very well-written by Brian Selznick and has 530 pages in it. It is about a young boy named Hugo who's father died in the year 1931. He ends up staying with his alcoholic uncle who teaches him how to steal, since they have no money, and teaches him how to work clocks. Hugo ends up running away 1 day when his uncle doesn't come back home. Hugo has to learn to do things on his own. In this book Hugo is independent.

Hugo is very independent in The Invention of Hugo Cabret. He has no parents or money so he has to steal in order to survive. He is staying on his own and has to work the clocks since his uncle disappeared. One day after his father died, Hugo found a robot that he decided to keep. He tries to figure out a way to fix it. He does this by stealing mechanisms from the toy shop. These are all different ways to show that Hugo is very independent.
