Week 2 of SOLD

This week we will be discussing pages 65-130. If you have missed last weeks discussion questions, there is still time to catch up. SOLD is an easy read, and very engaging. Books are still available at the library for check out.

1. What things does Lakshmi wonder about on her journey? What ordinary objects fascinate her? What does this tell you about her?

2. At the bottom of page 81, Uncle Husband tells her not to speak to anyone because they will recognize she is from the mountains and take advantage of her. Do you thing he is trying to protect her or himself?

3. In the chapter "Disgraced" what do you think the girl really did?

4. Did you suspect bad intentions on the part of the "auntie" and "uncle" who escorted Lakshmi? Why do you think Lakshmi herself was not suspicious? What does this show you about her character?

5. Describe how the last few pages of the this weeks reading made you feel?
