Sold 2 (Summary & Note and Notice)

In my last summary of the book that I have currently finished reading, “Sold”, we met a thirteen-year-old girl named Lakshmi. She lives in a small village in Nepal. Her father sent her to become a maid because they needed money. Lakshmi works for a wealth a woman whom she is her “maid”. She arrives to a house called “Happiness House” and is very happy to start to work and help out her family income. Later she learns the truth. She wasn’t a maid she was sold for prostitution and is told that she has to work until she pays her fathers “debit”.  Lakshmi isn’t the only one who lives in the “ Happiness house” there are a few other girls who she becomes friends with. One day Lakshmi meets an American man who is in disguised so he can gather evidence so that they would be free. I have finished the book and haven’t found when it takes place.

                  For my note and notice, I choose Contrasts and Contradictions. I choose Contrasts and Contradictions because my character Lakshmi was saying things to say but does the total opposite. For example when she was going far away from her family to become a maid she was having theses Contrasts and Contradictions. I know this because in the test it says,“I have hundred of questions to ask her like, how long will it take for us to get there? How do I address my mistress? How can I find Gita? But when the moment came I only ask one: What are these things called movies.”  I think that this proves that   Lakshmi will have a lot of questions unanswered. I also think that she might be nerves and  afraid to go far away from her family.
