__Homework June 3rd 2009__ Chapter 11-Nalini and Parvati become closer together and they start to talk about their families. Nalini had 6 other siblings,and she was one of the 4 girls, and his dad was a buissnessman working in a shop living in Bombay. Her family was poor, so they sold her and got paid for it even though Nalini didn't like dancing. Parvati tells Nalini about the cobra and how unfortunate she was: that her dad passed away.. and also her aunt scolding her mother.

Chapter 12- After time, the bandit attacks started to subside, and Indira let them go to the bird sanctuary for a change. And then people realize that Nalini was gone. In this chapter, DIG keeps asking Parvati about what she've heard from Nalini and about the dissapearance of Nalini. So she tells DIG honestly, and later Indria askes Parvati about what she have heard from Nalini, and scold her for not telling as soon as she heard it.

Chapter 13- Parvati keeps practicing and studying though Nalini is gone. Everyone doesn't seem to like her; they called out her names and also called her a Monkey queen and a bird girl but Parvati doesn't really care because the Guru teaches her lots of things. Later the Guru is pleased with her progress and he tells her that she would be a master from now on, and also would be able to marry Venkat. They send Parvati's family a mail about this news that thigs are going very well. Then later the Maharaja of Nandipuram asks her if she could perform on the Raja's birthday.

Chapter 14- In this chpter, Parvati became friends with Sumitra, Venkat's wife. Parvati gets to see her family for a week, and it seems like she was never away. They all hugged and greeted Parvati, so she comfortably settles down in her mother's house. Then she gets on the train to goto Nandipuram, to perform on Raja's birthday.

Chapter 15- Parvati and Sumitra went to the bazaar everyday to sell her mother's vegetables to the grocer. But from days, Sumitra starts to get sick and ill very often. BEcause she likes pineapples, she asks Parvati to get some pineapples. SO she went to the marketplace to get it. She looked around at the shoppers and saw someone who reminded her of Nalini, but with little difference. Luckily, when Sunitra ate pineapples, she was all better. Sumitra made them go to do the laundry, and Parvati noticed the Yuvaraja (the Raja's son) dressed up as a fisherman. Then few days later, Sumitra was feeling sick again, so Parvati went alone to do the laundry. The Yuvaraja tried to talk to her, but she refused.

Chapter 16- When Kapena and Parvati comes to the castle for meditating, Yuvaraja tells Parvati that her father have saved his father. Parvati didn't obviously know that, so she thank Yuvaraja for the story. Then just when they were talking, Kepena comes in to the room, so Yuvaraja hides. Kepena shows Parvati her clothes to wear when she is going to perform infront of many people. They practice hard, and when Parvati remembers about Yuvaraja and look for him, he is already gone.

Chapter 17- One day Guru, Parvati and Kapena meets in Kapena's room, and chat together. Then when they were talking, Rama comes in to the room and says that he was the one who caused the storm on the day when Parvati's father died. SO he says that it was his fault that her father died. But until then Parvati thought it was her fault that she was born that day, and killed her father, so they both laugh, and then they become closely together, and promises to meet tomorrow as well.

Chpater 18- In this chapter, Parvati starts to think of Rama, so when she was at the feast, she is always thinking of Rama. Parvati prepares for the performance, and is very looking forward to it. She also tried her costumes on, and felt proud of herself that she have come this far to dance. Kapena helps her get dressed and they both get a tour of the castle.

Chapter 19- When the meal was over, Parvati and Kapena came back to the room and was just talking about normal stuffs. Just then Rama came in and take Parvati out of the room. Then, she shows her the rooms and give her a breif tour in the castle, and asks Parvati to go to America with him and teaches children how to dance, while he study medicines.

Chapter 20- Rama and Parvati were in the same room when someone knocked on the door. Rama left, and Kalpana came in. The next day, the Guru's jewelry was gone from where she had left it last night. Parvati had her suspicions on Mayakkan. She remembered the girl who looked like Nalini, and thought of how Mayakkan stole things from the rich. She also had trouble thinking of whether or not to go with Rama. However, she knew that she had risked everything to dance.

Chapter 21- This is the last chapter of the book, and in this chapter, they find out who have stolen the jewels from Guru. It was the monkeys who hid them. When it was finally the time for the performance, she felt as if she did not have feet, and that it did not belong to herself. And also she could hear Shiva telling her that she was the magic of possibilities, and Guru says that he knows Parvati’s destiny is to dance.

1. Why do think Ellen went with Lochinvar, even though she'd agreed to marry another? Ellen really loved Lochinvar, so they tried to marry each other, 2. How do the female characters and male characters differ in their response to Lochinvar? The female character thinks he is nice, but the male characters think he is not 3. What does Lochinvar's behavior at the wedding reveal about his values?- It showed that he is very loyal to love. 4. Do you think Lochinvar's actions were justified? Why or why not? In my opinion, Lochinvar's actions were not justified, because he still took away a female who was agreed to marry another male. 5. In literature, knightly behavior is characterized by bravery and a romantic attitude toward women. How does this poem illustrate such characteristics? This poem illustrates that characteristics by Lockinar showing trusty love towards Ellen.

Art Critique (HW) 2009 march 12th When I first saw this drawing, I thought that horse's tail was very realistic. It showed fluffiness, and kind of bushy type which seemed very naturalistic. It seems that person whose riding the horse is the knight trying to save the village people. Underneath the background seems like a village which is in a danger some how. This picture is very cute~ The young baby's clothes are especially catching my attention. It is like a wedding dress. Also the puppy which is laying on the chair is very adorable as well. The background seems like her room, which is very pretty and kind of similar to palace type, so we can predict that she is in the royal family.

How would you evaluate yourself in voice for the essay? I would give myself a 5 for the essay. B) The **purpose** of the writing is accurately reflected in the writer;s choice of individual and compelling content, and the arrangement of ideas.
