Slumdog Millionaire (Pgs 148-215)

Summary: I can't really get much from this section of the book. All I can get is that a lot of people are getting arrested. I came to that conclusion because Ram always kept mentioning that jeep with the flashing red light. The jeep with the flashing red light usually meant that someone is going to get arrested. Another thing I got from this section is that Salim wants to be an actor and Ram believes that Salim has matured up enough to become an actor. So I guess the big question is will Salim be able to become an actor like his role model?


Quote: " I am out shopping with Neelima. She doesn't own a car, so we take a taxi. I don't enjoy going out with her. She buys only cosmetics or clothes, and I have to carry her heavy bags. She never goes to a McDonald's or a Pizza Hut. And she never, ever, buys me anything" (Swarup 214).


Reaction: Well one OTHER thing that did happen in this section of the book is that Ram becomes a servant for a girl named Neelima. Neelima is a nice person according to Ram, but not her grandmother. If you read the book, you would think Ram is working for Neelima's grandmother instead of Neelima. It's somewhat of an interesting part of the section of the story, but like I said, nothing really happens in this section.
