The Song Of Kahunsha By: Anosh Irani

He opens the door, steps into the night, and walks straight towards the row of bougainvilleas. In the dark, he cannot see colours. But he uses his mind to light the petals up, and after a moment he begins to see shades of pink and red. He likes this, how the colours stand apart from the darkness".  (Anosh Irani, The Song Of Kahunsha, P.42)
I think that this quote really describes the character Chamdi well. It tells the reader how he has no limits on his imagination because he can imagine colours in black and white and he imagines things on the bright side(when he lit up the petals with his mind). You can also tell that he is a very thankful person and not greedy just by what is happening in this part of the book. He loves the bougainvilleas because of the colours and beauty, he loves what is around him and is thankful for what he has.
 I am pretty confindent that my main character will pursue his goal from those traits. I think that he will have to overcome some obstacles but in the end he will have worked hard enough that he will accomplish his dreams.



I chose this movie trailer because the boy in the trailer is young just like Chamdi (the main character in the book)and he is confused. When Chamdi finds out his orphanage is moving he is confused about what to do and why it is happening. Whereas the boy in the movie trailer makes friends with this boy in the striped pyjamas and he is unaweare and confused at why he is there. They are both the typical young boy character, but they have a certain smart to them that makes you wonder what they are thinking. You can tell that both of these boys are intelligent in their own way. The boy in the trailer shows that no matter what race the boy in the stripped pyjamas was  still a boy just like him. In my book, Chamdi accepts the homeless and the street people as good people without stereotyping them.
