I finished reading Gold Dust! To be honest i did not know what to expect when reading the first couple of paragraphs, but as i kept reading i became interested and could not put it down. In the book i liked how Ukhayyad and his piebald camel had so many adventures together. i also liked how Ukhayyad related so much of his life to God and if God was testing him. Ukhayyad i feel knew that good would come out of any situation he was in because of his faith. i am a christian i believe that God tests us everyday and puts many challenges in our paths in life we just need to have patients and know that everything happens for a reason and have faith and this is what i believe Ukahayyad had. i liked how Ukhayyad and his camel were there for each other in the desert. i also like how this book was descriptive like in the desert. To me this shows the truth and the reality of life in the desert and how hard it is live in the desert.i did not like the ending! I almost cried when they had the piebald camel. i thought to myself, Ukhayyed and his camel had been through so much and the men were killing him/ torturing him. i think for my next paper i am going to write about either life in the desert and the struggles that are present in peoples lives or about how when Ukahayyad received the camel when he entered manhood so what boys have to do to enter into man hood or maybe both..
