Sold-1st Post

When I first started reading "Sold," I thought that the way Patricia McCormick wrote was interesting yet weird. It took me a few pages to fully understand what was being said. I like how she uses poems to tell the story that is going on. "Sold" is about this young girl named Lakshmi from Nepal. She is thirteen years old. She lives with her mother, stepfather, and her little baby brother. She lives in a small village in the mountains. I feel bad for Lakshmi because of her living situation. I do not believe that she has a very easy life. It seems like she is very hopeful though. I also do not think that Lakshmi's stepfather is a good person. He seems really shady.
