The last third of the book is determined. Lakshmi continuously puts forth her best to leave this place, even though in the back of her mind and from what Shilpa tells she will never leave . But she still has hope and is determined to leave or get help from an American man. Even though all the girls in the house said that the American men were bad she still took a chance risking being stripped and thrown outside in the street. A fire in Lakshmi breaks and she makes a decision that could change her life. "I run down the steps. I see Mumtaz, her fat mango face purple with rage, her arms pinned behind her back be two police men. She lunges in my direction and spits. But the policemen hold her back" Lakshmi risk everything to reclaim her life back with the determination she had, not only did she survive the happiness house but she gained triumphs .
Lakshmi overcomes the helplessness and pain she endured while being their, but i wish the book would continue so i had some type of closure and my thoughts aren't just up in the air.
The thing that is intriguing about this book to me is that my own personal feelings got involved, and me having deep empathy for Lakshmi. This book is so capturing to me because this is a relevant problem in the world, but for most country's its just a life style that they are forced to live. Young girls my age being violated and tormented. That image in my head is chilling and upsetting but makes me feel for these poor girls. The author used context that made you feel in your heart and this just made me appreciate the things i have a little more.
