Do you think girls and boys in India have the same quality of life? Let’s learn about the India’s History through the book Homeless Bird which was written by Gloria Whelan. This book is about a young girl named Koly who her own parents forced her to leave the family at thirteen and marry someone at young age like many girls in India, she will leave home forever unlike her brothers who don’t have to struggle to this kind of situation and get to have an education. There are many complexity in the story which something seem like a real story that happen all the time in human’s life, but what will Koly’s life be after her marriage. Do you have any ideas about Koly’s new family members? I really liked this story.
