a)When she offered flowers to the sacred rock in the sea: http://images.travelpod.com/users/ulka/10.1253142917.offering-flowers-light-to-ganga.jpg
b)When the medicine-man arrived to help her mother: http://www.dlisted.com/files/3_21_112307_delgado_mary.jpg

a) It can be seen that this woman in the picture is very shocked. Her mouth is wide opened, her hands are touching her cheeks astonishment, her forehead crinkled up and her eyes are full of disgust, astonishment, fear and sadness. Lila must be very shocked too at that time too seeing Pinto, being poisoned. She must be also very scared of this person who poisoned Pinto and worried if he would find them and hurt them again. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.

b) It can be seen that the woman’s face in the picture is full of anxious, sadness and a little of relief. Lila, seeing that a medicine man had come to see her mother, who has a high fever then, must be relieved. However, she is still not sure if the medicine man can save her mother therefore she is anxious and sad. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.

c) It can be seen that this old Indian’s face is very solemn and serious, offering flower. Lila is certainly very solemn too as this procession is offering blessings to the god. Lila is most probably wishing to the god and hope that her mother will turn well and her father would abstain from toddy and their life would be better. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.
