Because she was chosen as one of the candidates for queen when the ruling Queen was denounced due to insubordination. Mordecai thinks that the she would be looked on unfavorably and thus ruin her chances to save her people in the appropriate time. The Jews at that time were under the Persian rule.

Who wrote the book of Esther and for what purpose?

It is believed that Mordecai (Esther's cousin) wrote Esther. The author's central purpose was to record the institution of the annual festival of Purim and to keep alive for later generations the memory of the great deliverance of the Jewish people during the reign of King Xerxes (a.k.a. King Ahasuerus). The book accounts for both the initiation of that observation and the obligation for its perpetual commemoration.

Can an adopted child take on his adopted parents nationality?

Nationality generally means genetic origin. In this case, the child can take on the national cultures, the name common in the nationality, and otherwise identify with the nationality. However, taking on the parents' nationality isn't totally possible, since nationality has a DNA component. However, if the child's DNA in some ways parallels the DNA of one or both of the parents, then the nationality in the genetic sense already matches. In America in the recent past -- as late as the 1950s -- children were commonly 'paired' physically with adoptive parents so that if the parents wanted to keep the adoption a secret from the child, it would be possible. Today, however, this practice is not so common.
