After Chiyo breaks her arm while trying to run away she gets a letter saying her parents are dead and she also gets a beating form mother and she is no longer allowed to go to geisha school and now she will be a geisha servant. After a few months while Chiyo is returning her things to the school she comes across Chairman, who gives her money and a handkerchief. She wished to see the friendly man again and she decided to try to be a geisha when she is older. Granny died and many people came to the okiya to pay respects and Chiyo sees mameh again, chiyo ruined her kimono some time ago. They start talking and a few weeks later Memeha comes to the okiya and asks mother if she can have Chiyo as her apprentice and they agree, pumpkin is hatsumomo's apprentice now and Chiyo is mameha's. After that Chiyo was allowed to go back to school and everything was going well until Hatsumomo didn't allow pumpkin to ever talk to Chiyo again. From that point Chiyo knew that to be successful she would have to be better then hatsumomo which meant she had to get a rich supporter and study hard. After lots of months Pumpkin becomes an appretice geisha and after being separated from work Chiyo meets up with Memeha. Memeha teaches her how to bow, walk and have nice posture. Chiyo is almost ready to be the apprentice of Memeha so she has to get her hair done nicely and sleep in a really strange way so that she doesn't mess up her hair, it's really hard at the beginning. Every day she had to dress up as an apprentice geisha which meant wearing a heavy kimono and walking around in shoes that require loads of balance. Finally the day came when she would become novice Geisha. Her name is Sayuri now. Sayuri has been thinking of Chairman every day and one day she is sent to hang out with a man named Nobu and chairman but unfortunately the one she has to entertain is nobu which means she doesn't really talk to chairman, Memeha and Sayuri come up with a plan to take Hatsumomo down.
I think that it is so mean that pumpkin and Chiyo aren't allowed to talk anymore and it makes me really mad at Hatsumomo. I'm really excited to see if the plan succeeds and i hope it does because she makes me really mad. It also makes me sad how she didn't really talk to chairman but she is madly in love with him but it's also strange how she fell in love with him when she was a little girl and he was a grown man. I hope they end up together and I hope something bad happens to hatsumomo.
" I think perhaps you are as ready now as you'll ever need to be" This is after she makes a man trip over and fall with just a glance. It shows that she is ready to be a novice geisha and I think that in teh end she will be are really good geisha.
