BOUND.....GOOD!!! :)

I read charters 1-10 of Bound, by Donna Jo Napoli. Its based on the story Chinese Cinderella. If you liked the book then you will this one too. It's about this girl that is thridteen years old. Both mother and father pasted away. Her mother pasted away when she was seven. Then he married Stepmother. He died leaving half sister (Wei Ping) and Xing Xing. Half sister was tried better. Xing Xing was tried unfair:(. I think that she should have the same right because she works hard so her big sister can eat.
Master Tang is nice to Xing Xing because; her father were good friends. He gave her lessons. Father too gave her lesson before he died. She is good friends with him. I think that's kinda good knowing no matter what she has someone.


Xing Xing has this boy that kinda likes her. But she was too busy with doing what Stepmother says and taking care of her father's spirit. So, she returns the favour meaning their is nothing going with them.

She find three blind kits that were blind. They were a Bondon by their mother. Xing Xing was mad that they were alone. She killed two so they don't die more painfully. For example like starving t deaf. She kept one and bought it home. When Stepmother saw the kit she said she feed it till it is big. After that she killed it to eat. Half sister wanted as a pet. But Stepmother said it would be a poor pet. i think that's really sad. I would be the first one to cry lol.

She is a slave and if her half sister didn't get marry before all the pots were sold then, she be sold for a new one.
When she bought a smile to her half sister with something important Xing Xing has Stepmother approval. She wish that she can see the face again.
After the day at night she was under the stars. She remember her mother's very words that brought hate within Stepmother. That's why Xing Xing is a slave. When mother's word came out before she died no one cared but, Xing Xing.
Well back in China there was something called banged their feet. Woman would do this so their feet would be smaller. If not no man would marry them. Xing Xing is lucky that stepmother didn't do it on her. Half sister has too. It's such a pain. Ow! Ewe!
Leave me without a husband. I don't want go through that pain.


I think that's good. To much info.

I wonder if Xing Xing will get marry?

I wonder if that slave boy will marry her?

What do you think this means: Fine beauty and great wealth.

My reaction is silly that Xing Xing wouldnt like that slave boy to be her boo or something. That might be her only one that might want to marry her. What a shame. lol.

My other reaction is that i like that she makes her half sister happy. No matter what she gives her courage.
