    The story "Sold" by Patricia McCormick it's about a girl named Lakshim that is 13 years old and live in India. She wants to work for her parents can have a better life. But her mom wants her to stay at school. Then her dad sold her to Mumtaz and Lakshim is trapped there till she pays off her family dept. By the end of they story Lakshim learns that risks can come out with a good outcome,but sometimes some don't. 

    The story "Sold" when you take risks you can get good outcomes or good outcomes,but sometimes both. For example, in the story when Lakshim told her mom that she wanted to work instead going to school her dad found out a way to get money. She found out that she was getting sold to a women. When she got sold to the women named Mumtaz she got abused from her with a wipe. Also she couldn't get out of the room not even for fresh air. Lakshim got what she wanted ,but at the end she  got a bad outcome. 

     The story "Sold" when you take risks you can get good outcomes or good outcomes,but sometimes both. For example, when Lakshim was locked in a room she new when the weather changed by looking outside. Then one day Mumtaz told Lakshim that she had to pay if she wanted to free. She told her she could work outside but never run away because if she did she'll find her. Lakshim was surprised,but really emotional because she was finally gonna get her freedom back. Lakshim knew that making risk can sometimes be bad in the beginning but in the end it can be good. 

     Some risks you can get good outcomes or good outcomes,but sometimes both. This is important to know,because you have to make risks sometimes. This can make a connection to anyone,because in school you have to make risks all the time to get better grads and a better education.
