Telling stories has been a way of life for thousands of years. From the elders to the families around the fires, people are always telling stories. The Indians live their lives on stories. The times when a hunter took down a mammoth on his own, those are stories. That girl Sally, she kissed Timmy. Those are all stories as well as rumors. Stories sometimes give us an impression on a person. If you hear something from someone about someone you have that thought about them. Stories are very important because they give us an imagination. With stories we can imagine what we do or don't want in them. Stories are one of our outlets that have no limits. Everything we do or write about is because of stories. This gives us ideas with what we want to do. We try to copy stories that we hear, or try to create our own. Our whole life is a story. The simple things that happen to us that we don't expect are the plot twists. Stories are apart of our lives that is why they are so important.
In Sold, Lakshmi, is told about the city by her friends that it is painted with gold. She had the picture in her head with what that looked like because of the story. When she arrived to the city she was looking around for the gold on the cities and even asked "auntie" if they were painted with gold. Of coarse they weren't, but since Lakshmi had been told that story she expected it to be true. You can't always trust someone with stories. Lakshmi's story experienced a dramatic plot twist. She thought she was going maid, she was wrong. She was sent to a whore house. This is all one story. She also was told stories from the Beckham boy. This gave her ideas of what it is like out in the real world. She had been so caught up with the life of filth that she forgot what it was like to be free.
