Reading Response # 3

"This would never happen in Kahunsha" (Irani, Kahunsha) Chamdi continually talks about this town called Kahunsha. Whenever he is in some kind of trouble or is scared he thinks about this lovely place. Kahunsha is peaceful and carefree. Chamdi enjoys it. He blocks out of everything else when he goes here. This reminded me of the novel Lucas by Kevin Brooks. When Maggie goes down to the beach and isn't worried about what trouble Lucas is up to. Chamdi is the same, when he is in his place of zen he is at peace. Not wanting to think about anything else but the happiness that this town brings to him. He first imagined the town of Kahunsha back when he was at the orphanage. When Mrs. Sadiq would not answer his questions about his parents he would send his head to this town imagining that they were there with him living in an adequate home. Big enough for their enitire FAMILY.
