It is important for readers to understand what is happening in their books, who the characters are and what the theme is. In your response, outline the following: Plot, Setting, Characters, and Universal Theme. Provide evidence to support your thinking from your book.

  I'm finally done with my book ''THE STONE GODDESS''By:Minfong Ho. PLOT, The  plot of my book is about how my main character Nahkri who faces a lot of problems as time passes and tries to forget about all of them exept for one,which is her sister (pg.189) but at the end she just keeps her in her heart and moves on.

  SETTING, The setting was first in Cambodia,in a little town (pg.13),then it was in the USA in her apartments. This book took place in the 1990's through the 2000's.

 (pg.168) My characters are Nahkri,her mom, his brother,and his other brother.They are all very sad that their dad is away or dead and their sister are dead too.All of them just  go sad through out the story.They are all invariable.

I think the UNIVERSAL THEME is that live isn't easy ,and Nahkri's family  struggles with that a lot and and can't get past that. At the end most of them try to forget but they still remember her in their hearts.
