At the official halfway point of my book, I figured I should probably stop and tell you guys what's going on.
Kim (see my last post)is bouncing around Lahore (a city in India) when he meets this Tibetan Buddhist monk, also called a lama. The lama doesn't seem to have a name, but is obsessed with his religion and is respected by all he meets. Also, he is always clicking his rosary, which I'm confused about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't rosaries Catholic?
The lama is looking for a sacred river, which Kim could care less about. The boy just wants to find a "Red Bull." Actually, this whole piece of the story is pretty confusing. It sounds like Kim's late father, a well-to-do soldier, had some sort of dream about a red bull in a green field and passed this idea on to Kim, who seems to think it's a prophecy. I think Kim was reading way too much into the dreams of his opium-addicted father.
So Kim and the lama set off, with no plan except to wander around India looking for the sacred river they're not sure even exists. Yeah, sometimes they lack intelligence majorly.

yeah roseries are cathlic it is alittle strange and also theese two dont sound very smary at all do they even have brains
ReplyDeleteThat does make very little sense, being how those are catholic. I like how you're thinking about the "Red Bull", with how it really isn't so smart to follow a dream his dad had. It makes sense though, because he sounds (being "all the world's friend") like the sort of person who would really admire his dad, you know.
