Two Little Girls In Blue By Mary Higgins Clark
Two little girls in blue
The book “Two little girls in blue” by Mary Higgins Clark is a thriller about crime against children, kidnapping, murder and telepathy. It is an easy reading book and its lively narration fascinates the reader and makes it hard to stop reading.
The main theme in the book is the kidnapping of two little girls. Mary Higgins Clark describes the reaction of the parents, family and friends and relates with this topic to a fear every mother has. No parent wants to be in this situation and this book shows how hard it must be to handle such a crime. “They hugged each other as the hysteric laughter broke and the harsh sound of dry sobs mingled with her wail. I want my babies back. I want my babies.” (pg.10) I remember clearly

    This painting is by Ellen Plankey, it is untitled and a pastel. For the purposes of this paper, I’ll call it “Young Girl on Blanket”. This is a picture of a young woman sitting on what appears to be a blanket. She’s looking off to her right and is wearing a dark blue skirt and a baby blue cloth around her head as a wrap. She’s topless, but how it’s shadowed only one of her breasts is very prominent; the other blurred by shadow. She’s surrounded by plants, all of which are leafy bushes. The sky in the back peeking through the leaves is a pale orange, almost a faded salmon color. The shadows on her body are splotched from the openings between the leaves. All of which is very soft. “Young Girl on Blanket” uses intermediate colors; soft shades of pink, blue, green and orange. All of the lines are curved in this, even the blankets edge ripples over what appears to be grass, which rounds the edge of it so that it doesn’t seem like a rectangle but instead a boxy oval. The girl’s body is curvy, not overly so, just enough so that her femininity shines through. Also, the only lines that are solid are the outline of her and her…

    Beginning with the departure from New York’s Grand Central Station, Gordon paints a detailed picture of the excited scene. The reader is placed inside that traveling sleep car, watching the many young children excitedly bouncing in their crowded seats preparing to take their very first train ride. It is easy to mentally see that freshly sewn clothes resting on their young shoulders, and the colored ribbons that determined each child’s destination. The books tone takes on a hopeful and excited outlook, tinged with slight sadness as the nuns remaining in New York are forced to depart from the children they have grown to love. Along with the excitement of “going home” as the children were told they were doing, comes the sad and grim tale of how most, if not all, the orphans came into the care of the nuns. The tear filled scenes of young, usually unwed mothers departing with their babies because they could not afford to keep them, left more often than not with now birth history and with no name of their own. “Searching through the Foundlings records ninety years later, I could find only five mothers names for this shipment of fifty seven children.” (Gordon, pg7)…
