quarter three post thirteen

as i was reading purple hibiscus i decided i have to blog to pass english. todays blog is about war, which purple hibiscus is filled with. in the book the lives of everyone are changed when the war is brought up, and you can see how everyone is affected soon after. Kambili becomes more outgoing, and so does her brother Raja, the mother is not enthuesiastic and she seems kinda of sad but she also has to say good bye to her kids so who could blame her, and papa is indifferent, he acts emotional when he has to say good bye to his kids but i think deep down he really does not care. Also in the book Aunty Ifeoma has to take on more people but she seems happy to help. i think that a war draws out the true emotions and colors of a person i also think that a war makes people come closer together, but not always in a posative way, a character i never talk about , amaka has hated Kambili ever since she moved into her aunts house. i hoped you enjoyed reading.

as i was reading purple hibiscus i decided it was time to blog. this post is about imperialism. i n the book there is war and the people are scared because people are trying to take back power from the rich and Kambili and her brother must leave. i think that this shows that wars gain less then they leave behind and that Kambili will forever be different because of this. the book is very interesting and it always seems to amaze me by how the similarities of the book relate to the similarities of my own mothers life. i think that this book is very good and i hope to continue to read it. i also think that the book should be made into a movie so people can understand the hardships that are face so that you can be happy. that you for reading i hope you enjoyed.

today as i was reading purple hibiscus i decided i had to do another blog post. this blog is about a global issue. the global issue that i am going to talk about that occurs in the book is war. in the book Kambili and her brother raja are forced to leave the war torn area were they live and move to their aunts house, they have to move because they cannot stay with their parents. i think that this shows that with a war no one knows what will happen and ultimatly it ends up hurting more than it helps. but on the other side of things the war has given Kambili a side to be more open with her upbeat aunt and her large extended family and not spend so much time alone, the war gives her a chance to open up and find out who she really is and what she is really about. so i guess war is something that is good and bad, it tears families apart and it gives people a chance at a new life.

today i decided to blog like crazy so i dont fail english. today i read the book purple hibiscus and it is really getting good . the blog for today is about holidays, and in the book they talk about easter. in the book they talk about how important christianity is to nigerians and about easter in general ( kinda sounds like post things fall apart). Well they say how impdortant that the palm leaves are and how important family is and so on and so forth, later in the chapter "papa" is in a fit of rage and her attacks the mother and raja. i think that this chapter contradicts what is going on and what the whole purrpose of easter seems like in this chapter, it almost made me want to stop reading the book, but its really good so i cant stop. i hope you enjoyed reading.

so as i was reading an article i decided that i really needed to post for my blog or i will fail english, the article is about bollywood and the theatres in mumbai. the article is about how people go to mumbai and they never go to the theatres and basically just stay home. i i think that this is very interesting because according to the article people have many chances to go see a quality film in bollywod, but they choose not to. i would definitly want to go to a quality film in mumbai if i had the chance. i also think that it is very cool that there are so many genres of films that are in the bollywood films, its like a different film for each day of the year. well if i had the chance to see a bollywood film i would , but i just have to blog like crazy.

quarter three post eight

time for a new blog post. As i was reading purple hibiscus, i decided to do another blog post. this post is about culture. the book in my opinion is full of culture from the foods which are native to nigeria, to the strong christian backround and family togetherness, which i am also used to. it seems like on every page that is read there is some relation to family and or food, most of the time its just the whole family eating a nigerian soup or stew, or its just the family outing to church, the culture seems to be based on food and family. But lets not forget about religion, in the book they always talk about church and how god will help or not help youm, which i think makes religion a big part of the nigerian culture. this book is very good and i hope to continue to read it as long as it syays entertaining.

today as i was reading purple hibiscus, fir the first time in a long time, i decided to blog. the post is about change, and a lot has changed in kambili's life. in the novel Kambili is used to being A "perfect child" because of the harsh expectations of her father, but this all changes when Kambili and Raja (her brother) leave home because of the military coup. After they leave their home with their father and mother and begin to live with their aunt life changes drastically. One living with the aunt Kambili and her brother are molre free in the sense that they are no longer reserved and distant but they become more outgoing and happy. this book definitly shows change and it is in a viewpoint that all readers can understand and i hope that the book will continue to stay entertaining.
