Assignment 10

I really like useing the blogger for assignments because its more intresting and way better then being in class bored. It's also cool because we can see the other classmaits work, and it's usually intresting reading what the have to say about the book and the things from their point of view.

(Assignment 8) Lakshmi

Lakshmi is a very strong girl, she isn't scared to stand up for what she believes in. If she dosn't want to do it she wont. For example wen they put her in the room with the guys she did not let her self at all. She fought, kicked, pushed, and even bit to get out of there. She never gives up, she wont give up, if she wants it she will get it. But i dont mean in a bratty selfish way, i mean in a confident way.


"THE healed Heart shows its shallow scar"
BY Emily Dickinson

THE healed Heart shows its shallow scarWith confidential moan,Not mended by MortalityAre fabrics truly torn.To go its convalescent waySo shameless is to see,More genuine were PerfidyThan such Fidelity.

(Assignment 7) Something to read and think about...

Seeing the pictures of the brothel is kind of scary in my prospective. The brothels seems so dark and plain... it kind of reminds me of a haunted abandent house. Seeing what Gita did to Beauty reminds me of when Mumtaz beat Lakshmi. Then some girls look very young and its like a heart breaker seeing wat they actually go through in there. Honestly I never thought the prostitution buisness was like that untill i read the book and saw these pictures. I actually thought they would get freedom but they don't they are like dogs that are caged and only let out when they need to attack. Then Beauty has to make her coustomers THINK she is in LOVE with them just so they can come back and so she can see her 5 year old son is really sad. These pictures remined me of the book in so many ways and it actually does happen in REAL life.

(Assignment 6) UNICEF

UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 contries and territories. They help children survive; they try not to expose them to violence, sexual abouse, and HIV infection. It's also the worlds largest provider of vaccines for developing contries. They support the childrens health and nutrition by providing good water, sanitation, and quality basic education for boys and girls. UNICEF is calling on goverment, communities, and families to work together to stop human trafficking.

Assignment 3

Man vs. Society.
I think its man vs. society because its really the society whos letting this happen. It's the parents who are selling their children to the brothels. Having them believe that they will get out as soon as they make all the money they need for their famileys, but in reality they are all lies.
