1) Iqbal has created the most valuable carpet called the Blue Bukhara, taking only a couple days when it usually takes a year. 2) Hussain Khan is being unusually nice to the child slaves because foreign buyers are coming to inspect Iqbal's work. 3) Right before the buyers arrive, Iqbal cuts the Blue Bukhara carpet in half with a knife, causing Hussain to scream and throw Iqbal into a tomb as punishment.

Explorer Response to Iqbal chapter 5
EX
I have just finished chapter five of the non-fiction book iqbal. which was based on the true
story of Iqbal Masih and written by Francesco D’Adamo . He has chosen not to have any
illustrations but it does get translated to English by Ann Leonori with a touch of narrative
style.
This chapter was about how Hussain khan was expecting company (the foreign buyers) so
he is really nice to his child slaves ( which is the exact opposite of how he usually treats
them)
So iqbal has made the most valuable carpet their is called the blue Bukhara but just before
the foreign buyers arrive iqbal grabs the knife they use to cut the ends of the string with and
cut the carpet right down the middle from top to bottom. then Hussain screamed like a stuck
pig as he ran to iqbal and through him in to the tomb.

I think the authors purpose for chapter five is to show us how much iqbal is an artist. Iqbal is
an artist because he can make the blue Bukhara carpet in a couple of days and the blue
Bukhara usually take almost a year to make because of its intricatedifficult design.
The authors second purpose for chapter 5 is to show us how greedy and two faced Hussain
khan is. Hussain khan is two faced and greedy because when the foreign buyers were just
about to arrive he was being really nice to the children and right after iqbal destroys the
carpet Hussain calls him a poisonous viper, an ingrate and that they said he was skilled but
not trust worthy, but Hussain only thought about the money so that makes him greedy.

A key line from chapter 5 worth remembering is “He took the knife that we all use to cut the
ends of knots with and, raised it above his head, and seemed to look at us each in the eye.
then he calmly turned and cut the carpet from top to bottom, right through the middle.” This
quote is worth remembering because it was a key part in chapter five also because he was
standing up to the master for the kids which planted the seed of courage which will sprout
into a beautiful flower. Another key line from chapter 5 is “Hussain screamed like a stuck
pig.” This quote is worth remembering because it shows us how Hussain only cares about
the money when iqbal cut the carpet ( the Blue Bukhara ) he instead of seeing the carpet
cut he saw money being taken right out of his pocket. The key names worth remembering
are Fatima, Hussain Khan, and Iqbal. I think Fatima is worth remembering because she
is the closest friend to iqbal. I also think Hussain Khan is worth remembering because
he is the master of the children and the one who throws iqbal into the tomb. Lastly, I
chose the name Iqbal is worth remembering because he is the main character of the
chapter and the novel and he is the main part of the climax. A key place worth
remembering is the tomb because that is the place where Iqbal got thrown into when he
ripped the carpet.

This chapter has been organized in paragraphs. The author chose to order this chapter
from beginning to climbing action to climax to falling action to resolution instead of the
plot events mixed up and all of them scattered all around the chapter. This makes the
chapter easier to comprehend, easier to follow, and easier to read.
R
one way I can related to this chapter is once after I was finished cleaning the dishes in
the sink, I dried them then as I am drying the knifes with a small cloth it cut the small
clot
cut in two just like the carpet so I quickly threw it out and grabbed a thicker one.
Another way I can relate this chapter is once when I was channel surfing at home I
started to watch this show where this kid named lee from china and he had ran away
but then he got kidded napped and forced to be shoes but he took a risk and escaped.
He went home but he wasn’t finished yet he went to the mayor and demanded that he
stopped child labour but then I didn’t see the rest because I went shopping.
E
My AA-ha moment for this chapter is when Iqbal cuts the carpet and gets sent to the
tomb because I knew earlier in the chapter that he would do something unpermitted. My
questions for this chapter are, why does he want stand up to his masters why not be like
Fatima.
