Compare and contrast details in the historical account of the Orphan Train Movement to those in the fictional story. Describe how the author of "The Train to Somewhere" has used and altered historical facts. Use at least two details from the texts to support your response.

Answer and Explanation:

The two texts to which the question refers have more similarities than differences, both show that orphaned children lived on the street and were rescued by the Children's Aid Society who cleaned, combed and placed them on trains that took them to rural areas in New York where they would be exposed, so that families could inspect them and decide whether to adopt them or not. The texts also talk about how it was common for these adoptions to separate brothers permanently. However, "The Train to Somewhere" does not show who had the idea of creating these trains and does not address how many children ran away, while others were extremely abused and mistreated.
