As we all know, we've been reading Nervous Conditions in English class over the past few weeks. I don't know If I am the only one (I sure hope not) but I've had a hard time understanding it. So over this wonderful break that we had this past week, I sat myself down and reread the past couple chapters. It was extremely difficult to do because I kept thinking "Emily, you've already read this, just go to class and listen to the discussion" or "Ask your friends, i'm sure they understand it!" or even "screw it, just enjoy your break!!" But, I did it... And it helped SO MUCH! I highly recommend it to anyone that Is having trouble understanding what is going on. Before I reread the chapters, I thought Maiguru was one of Tambu's cousins and I didn't realize that Maiguru and Babamukuru were married and had Nyasha as their child. Like it was sad how much trouble I had with this book. But hey, I get it now and thats all that matters!
In this weeks reading, we read about when Tambu went to the mission for school. We read about how Maiguru treated her like royalty when she arrived at their beautiful home and how Tambu was frustrated with the way that Nyasha disrespected her parents, especially her mother. In the chapters, we read about how Tambu thought that she was just jumpy because of all the change but I agree with Tambu, the way that Nyasha treated her mother and father and the way that she smoked just blew me away! I would never treat my parents like that and I would especially NEVER smoke a cigarette so I understood Tambu's outlook on the situation. Regardless of the fact that I need to pay close attention while reading this book, I have really enjoyed it and its a pretty entertaining novel. Farewell bloggers!
