NECTAR IN A SIEVE !! BOIIII

In pages 9-11, it talks about howKamala Markandaya explored important territory in Anglo Indian fiction in 1954 and how she tells this story through a remarkable picture of women who want and who often don't receive.
I think that I will like the book because from the introduction, it already gives me a preview of what is going to happen and what the outcome might be and what problems this outcome might cause. Additionally, I also think I'm going to like this book because these are the types of books that I like where as the character goes through the struggle and has to fight to the last second, to the last hour, and to the last minute.

THE STONECUTTER...

The folktale that I read was a Japanese folktale about a stonecutter who went to a great  rock in the side of a big mountain and would cut out slabs for gravestones or for houses. For a long time, he was happy and contented, he also asked for nothing better than what he had. In the mountain where he worked at, there was a spirit which helped them (stonecutters)  in many ways to become rich.

 One day, the stonecutter carried a gravestone to the house of a rich man, and saw all sorts of beautiful things  that he had never dreamed of. Suddenly his daily work seemed to grow harder and heavier, and he wished that he could sleep in a bed with silken curtains. The spirit that lived in the mountains responded and said, "Your wish is heard; a rich man you shall be."

The way the stonecutter represents a trickster figure is that he takes the easy way out of things by wishing upon whatever he wants instead of keeping his job.
