| Hi!!! My name is Nathalie. I'm from Cali, Colombia. I live now in Queens, New York. I speak two languages Spanish and English and I'm in 10th grade. I usually read drama, because those books are really interesting. When you read it you feel as they are real life even if you know that they are fictional. I have became a great reader. I have read like 28 books in 9 months. Now I had experience that reading a book you get in a new dimension. |

from my book... Hope you like it.

" The feeling that
came over me as I thought of this ... it was like a fever breaking. I felt damp everywhere
on my body. I was grateful Mameha remained asleep beside me; I’m sure she would have
wondered what was the matter, to see me short breath, wiping my forehead with my
fingertips. This idea that had come to me, could I really do such a thing? I don’t
mean that act of seducing that Minister; I knew perfectly well I could do that. It would
be like going to the doctor for a shot. I’d look the other way for a time, and it
would be over. But could I do such a thing to Nobu? What a horrible way to repay his
kindness. Compared with the sorts of men so many geisha had suffered through the years,
Nobu was probably a very desirable danna. But could I bear to live a life in which my
hopes had a been extinguished forever? For weeks I’d been working to convince myself
I could live it; but could I really? I thought perhaps I understood how Hatsumomo had come
by her bitter cruelty, and Granny her meanness. Even Pumpkin, who was scarcely thirty, had
worn a look of disappointment for many years. The only things that had kept me from it was
hope; and now to sustain my hopes, would I commit and abhorrent act? pg. (395). |
