Assignment 3- Man vs Man

There is many conflicts in the book but i think the main problem is when the stepfather sells Lakshmi into prostitution without her knowing so. She is abused, until she does something about it. She finally uses what she has to get out of Mumtaz's brothel to go back home and get Mumtaz into jail. The reason the stepfather sells her is that they need money beacuse he is always gambling the little money they get or spending it on himself.
