memoirs of a geisha

ive read the book and the movie really connected to the book. this ancient story on a young girl and her sister being taken from their  little on the cliff to be placed in a home. she was to either become a geisha one day or to be a house servant or even the house whore. her mother passing was the reason for being taken away, her father didn't understand how to take care of them alone. the apprentice geisha that lived in the home she was placed in already knew that one day shell be a good geisha. a geisha is an entertainer. performs in the best tea houses and shows. for important people, she must be a virgin in order for her to be the best she was to be a great enough to be bid on for that important person to pay for her innocence. along her journey people tried to ruin her. but she still mad it happen. this movie moved me because it told a story inside of a story. being sold isn't a good thing. it told to stories one about a poor life of a girl and her hunger for success.  maybe it was fate on why she was sent to become an apprentice geisha. but her sister became the whore. paying debts off by sleeping with men. while okyo went to school to be a geisha. i wanted to reread the story and watch the movie because it was good and made me want to understand geisha more. even though now geisha don't exist anymore.
