What part of the novel SOLD you believe is the climax .

I think the climax start when Lakshmi was sold to the people that buy her ! To the point when she was geting beat up by Mumtaz and drug by the tea that is called Lassi ! But Mumtaz told her if she want to leave that she will have to paid back the 2000 rupes which she buy her with . Which was only 1000 rupes that she buy her with. What i think is that Lakshmi been through a bad path. That cause her pain and sadness . I dont any girl should go through this even though she did bad things in life. Lakshmi is only 14 year old she dont know better . All thought her parents sold her, they dont have the right to do what they did.
