quarter three post four

today i began to read a book that, i had hear from my mother was a good book. the book i am reading is called purple hibiscus by chimamanda ngozi adichie. in the book gender roles have been shown in the first few pages. the females in the family are the people who do not clean and do not work, while the males are the backbone of the family who work hard to keep everything togeter. So far what i have noticed in this book is that family is very important and that evbryone shows repect to their elders, except for raja, who is in trouble. one other thing that i nothiced while reading is that women in the nigerian culture hold the family like a glue, they deal with both emotional and economic problems like all mothers do. im going to continue to read this book, because its great..... so far.
