Orphan

In the Graveyard Book one of the main characters becomes an orphan, due to the murdering of the rest of his family. The child is named Nobody and later is taken in by two ghosts. Nobody is very lucky in my opinion because there are many kids out there who are orphans, and aren't able to get parents as quick as nobody did. Do you think more kids today are taken in quicker or stay in the orphanages longer? In many other books and movies the protagonist is an orphan for example in the movie Harry Potter and in the story Cinderella. Can you think of any more movies that the main character is an orphan? This is just the start of this book, but it was something that i found interesting.
