quarter three post six

so as i continued to read purple hibiscus, i found that the book is applicable for the sixth post on hope. it all starts when kambili and her family are back from church and raja (her brother ) is disobeidient and misses church and disobeys his father. this leads to Papa throwing his prayer book and shattering the glass shelving unit that holds mama's ballerinas. hope plays into this when kimbili hopes that her angered father will calm down, which he eventually does. this was an effective set up to start and end the chapter, this made me want to keep reading and i really enjoyed it. Another time that hope is shown is when kimbili hopes that her family will become happy (in general) again, because they are kind of in a falling out.
