Sold- 9th Post

Lakshmi's friendship with Harish continues to blossum. One day he gives her a pencil. She is so appreciative of this gift that he has given her. I guess it is a symbol of hope to her. Harish's mother, Pushpa, is sick. I think that she has gotten an STD. It must be common for this to happen in the house, being that the women sleep with many men. Auntie Mumtaz is being her usual self by threatening Pushpa about her illness. She even threatens to take away her children. How cold-hearted could she be to take away a mother's children? This is such a sad story.

Ok, but don't stop. This is a very sad part of the book, but how does this affect Lakshmi?

I think you are rushing your posts, and typing these up the night before they are due.

Look at the time stamps on your posts? 8-10 minutes apart from each other? You had 3-4 weeks to read this novel, and it is a very simple and fast read. You waited to the last minute, and these posts are simply not enough.
