Final Reflections
I loved this book! It was so easy to relate to Lakshmi. She was just a young girl who had terrible luck. I truly felt everything that she was feeling. I think that Patricia McCormick did an amazing job at showing what people in the slave trade have to go through. I think that everyone should read this book. It was amazing and hard to put down. I loved all of the symbols throughout the book. I thought that Sold was a great form of catharsis. I think that Patricia McCormick wrote the novel so that even someone who has never gone through something like the slave trade could relate to what was going on. I felt like I was Lakshmi while I was reading the book, and I think that because of this I was able to get a better feel of what it would be like to have to deal with that every day. I thought that Sold helped to show that life is very different in other parts of the world. I did not even know that the story was taking place in modern days until I read about TVs and digital cameras. I think that what is happening in these other countries is terrible, and something needs to be done to help. Sold helped show that these terrible things are going on. I think that this was one of my favorite books.

It was a good read. I'm thinking of making it a requirement next year when I teach my modern issues unit. We did a slide show on human trafficking last December, and I think its such a fast and easy read that the kids would all benefit from this type of story.
I'm glad you read it, and your blog is one of the best I've ever read. You are a fantastic writer, and have insight beyond your young years.
BLOG SCORE: 30/30
Bravo!
