book blog #4

   Have you ever heard of women being sexually trafficed?well now you know. I have been currently reading a book called Sold by Patricia Mccormick. It tells a story about a girl named Laksmhi and her stepfather selling her away. Lakshmi gets a suprise far from great and was unfortunately sent to do prostitution. She was raped  and was crying as if her predator had alreay caught up to her and took his vile bite into her most wealthiest part ever.
  This book leaves me to questions like why is there still "sex slavery" shouldn't it be banned? well you most definitely have my answer for yes it should be banned. Women shouldn't be violated, they should be treated with respect just like we men are and most of the times, bad men like to take advantages of women'sbody and violate them. After that women than get something horribly ill, something that's not eithen worth to die for.... sexually transmitted dieases (STD).
 Thankfully in this book, Laksmhi discovers a safe house with other girls who have been mollested and meets new friends and gets to have a bond with these new girls in the house. Hey! Laksmhi can make a connection towards these girls. Maybe she can have her own book inside Sold. Just maybe.
 Hopefully Laksmhi can get better and have a brand new start. It's just so horrible because i can make a connection towards her because a part in the book said that her friend got kicked out because she was ill and i have had a friend that went away because she was ill so sometimes i feel like im in that house with Laksmhi. Just maybe i might be.

  1. Dimitri,

    I like how you put yourself in Lakshmi's shoes and thought about the horrors of sexual trafficking.
