Why is it such a big deal?

I don't think that it is a big deal. I say that because she helping with her families bills and even paying for her dads medicine. They should be greatful. This was a desicion she made by herself. Nobody sold her. This was a choice of her's, it was either she sells her body or her family suffers. If it was you and your family was on the line. What would you do?

EXTRA CREDIT DISCUSSION QUESTION DUE BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST

What's the big deal with Monica working as a prostitute? Why is her family so upset when she was helping support them?

the reason why she felt this certain way.

Lakshmi felt this certain way because she wanted someone to protect her while she was in this horrible place. She also wanted him there because he made her feel special.When I say that he made her feel special I mean he made her feel as if she was important. But, when he left. She wanted to say thank you in his language, but she felt that he should get more than just a thank you. Nobody ever made her feel that way. She doesn't know what to do.

Lakshmi and the Hugging Men

I think that Lakshmi feels this way because it is the first person that is actually kind to lakshmi in the Happiness House. I know this because in the book the chapter is calledAn Accidental Kindness on pg.176 and it says "He was young and clean ang gentle." This shows that Lakshmi has started feeling feelings to this man that was really nice to her and she will remmember him.

DISCUSSION QUESTION DUE BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST

Reread pp. 176-177. Laksmi has a customer that she refers to as the hugging man. After he and Laksmi exchange services she says "Harish had taught me how to say thank you in his language, but it seemed a paltry word for my debt to this man." Why does Laksmi feel this way? Why does she wait for the hugging man to come back?

lakshmi fantasy in the city

i believe Lakshmi is scared because she is in a city where she has gotten tricked into being a made but now she is really a sex slave. she is most likely wondering why would her stepfather sell her? did he know what she was really going to be doing? where is she? why is she living in this "happiness house" where its dirty and surrounded by poverty. Lakshmi didn't imagine Nepal to be like this and i know she is definitely worried. this shows that Lakshmi isn't probably brave because first of all she doesn't know Nepal, second she doesn't speak there language and the traffickers are too smart so she cant really escape. i know me being in her shoes i would be freaking out especially being young.

Lakshmi's Fantasy & reality

Lakshmi's fantasy of what the city would be like is really different from reality. It's so because she imagines gold tin roofs.On page 87 "There are roofs made of metal scraps, but no roofs of gold." This shows that everything Lakshmi has image the city would be like was just a fantasy. Also because it was a fantasy this gave Lakshmi have fear of the city.
