How my views have changed after reading this book I didn’t know that the little girls in India were treated bad and when they got a certain age they were kicked out of the house.

What the book taught me about their culture I learned that the culture has arranged marriages. That means that their parents pick who their daughter is going to marry. I don’t think that arranged marriages should be allowed in other countries.

What fascinates you about the cultures in the book? When girls in India get married if their husband dies the become a widow and cannot re-marry.

What is the main conflict in the book? The main conflict in the book is that koly’s parents are having a arranged marriage for he, and she is marrying a boy that is very sick and dies as soon as she marries him and now she is a widow. Once you are a widow you cannot remarry or move back in with your parents.

If you were the main character in this book, how would you have handled the conflict? I would have been very scared, and not of know what to do. I would have tried to move back in with my parents.
