The Weed

The main character of this story is Argoori. What makes her worth writing about is that she seems really nice and what makes her unique is that she seems to have many beliefs. The conflict of this story is that at first Argoori thought that learning how to read and write was a sin for women.She also said that she couldn't take any sweet from men because it brings weed. Then she told a story to her husband of what had happened to her friend. After that, she told her husband to teach her how to read and write. Her husband asked her why if she used to think that was a sin. He then asked her if she had drank any tea or milk and she said no that she had only drank milk. Then her husband found out that Ram Tara had fetched her that milk. The story ends with Argoori saying to curse her because she had gotten sweets from a man. A word that I didn't know was prerogative. I found out that it means a right or privileged exclusive to a particular individual or class.
