Sold.....

The book i am currently reading is called "Sold" its categorized under fiction. This book does say its under fiction but it also can fit under non-fiction because it can be a true story in many way. My book is told in first person. Just knowing that this book is told in first person it already gives off a personal connection. First person sets off a very personal state of mind already.
This book is about a teenage girl getting sold into prostitution. Lakshmi is the main character and she tells this story from her point of view. She is suppose to leave home and get a job to help out the family so her stepfather says. I feel that the author revealed this book in a poem way to give all details and effects in a different order. The author wanted to keep it secret yet want you too keep reading. She really wants to build up the facts that lead to the intense part of the book. There are only a few conflicts in this book so far. One of the first conflicts is the fact her stepfather tells her she needs to go into the city and find a job to help supports the family. Her mom doesn't think this is right and doesn't want her to go. Lakshmi really wants to go work and help her family. That conflict would be external. The authors style in this book is very edgy and random.
