Memoirs of a Geisha- Chapter 2

The girls bathing suits seems a little ragged and very poor. I could not imagine wearing old clothes to go swimming in, it would be so saggy and uncomfortable. It was a very akward situation when Mr. Tanka came up on her while she was spying on her sister and her little friend. I found it weird how she goes swiming in the pond naked and walks around like that even if she is only nine years old that is still very weird and akward. It was not right the fantasies this girl was having about Mr. Tanka, he was so old. It is not right that she wanted to be adopted by this man even though she already has a family. I really do not like this man I just have this feeling he is up to no good. Why would he really want to adopt her. I think she is jumping to conclusions way to fast and not thinking things through. I wonder what Mr. Tanka talked to Cheyo's father about and then the next day they were spending the night at his house. There is somthing about Cheyo that everyone love. Why do they keep bringing up how beautiful she is, is this perhaps forshadowing? Her eyes sound really pretty to me and its weird how rare grey eyes seem since everyone notices how different her eyes are. The book also keeps mentioning how Cheyo is water. That is so interesting how Japan compares people to nature things like that. I do not think I would want to be a wood they seem so stiff and unfriendly. That lady Mrs. Fidget or whatever her real name is was very pushy and way too touchy. I would have felt so offended if that lady just came and examined me like that and I had no idea why. I cant believe the girls let her check them over like that. It was very peculiar how Tanka's daughter Taro took Cheyo to go spy on him. Was he like cheating on his wife or something. That whole situation confused me a little bit but I knew he was not up to any good. I wonder if Taro really wants Cheyo as a sister, she did not seem to have any emotion on wheter she was going to be adopted or not. I really do not think he is adopting her, because why would he have them examined if he was. He is a very suspicious man.
