I believe that Lakshmi's family is unhappy because they do not have enough money to eat and the stepfather is an alcoholic. They will never be happy because they are poor.

Happiness (Example of Good Post)
I think that Lakshmi and Ama are happy because they are together as a family. Even though they live in deep poverty and Lakshmi dreams of what is beyond the mountain she loves her Ama dearly and is happy in her presence. I know this because on page 7, Lakshmi says, "She is beautiful, mighty and magnificent…and her slender back, which bears all our troubles-and all our hopes, is more beautiful still". This shows that Lakshmi admires and loves Ama and the love of your family can bring more happiness than money.
Discussion Question #1 (EXAMPLE)
Even though Lakshmi's family is poor and often don't have food, do you think her, Ama and her stepfather are happy in their Nepalese village home? Why do you think so?
