Assignment 7: Something to read and think about...

During the course of our class many questions have come up concerning what a real brothel looks like. So through my searching of the web I found a web site that that shows actual pictures of a brothel in India. Their is text along with the photos so please read them.

After doing so tell me what you think about what you have seen and read. Feel free to make any connections that you can that may relate to our book or something you may have seen or read.

Assignment 6

In the book Sold our protagonist Lakshmi is sold into prostitution. She is later visited by American while she is in the brothel who is trying to rescue girls who are in this situation. This man was probably part of an aid organization known as an NGO (Non-governmental organization). They provide aid and they are not affiliated to any government (like the red cross who provides aid around the world and is not funded by any government.)

It is now your job to find a charitable organization. Post the following things to your blog.

• Provide a link to the organization.
• Write a paragraph that describes it to me.
• Provide a picture if possible.

Assignment 5

Create a time line that has the major events in the story. Start with Lakshmi living in her village in Nepal and end with Lakshmi escaping the brothel (Happiness House). There needs to be a total of ten entries (including the two I will give you.)

ex.

• Lakshmi living in Nepal in the village.
• ...

• Lakshmi escapes Happiness House.
