Why is Aunty Ifeoma's 'fearlessness' uncomfortable for Kambili? (p.76)

It is beacuse that Kamili hasn't see a lot of people say something against either Papa or the traditions, especially for this person is a woman.

2. Identify examples of the difference in economic situation between Kambili's family and Aunty Ifeoma's family. Why is it important to note these differences?

Aunty Ifeoma's family is not that affluent than Kamili's because according to the description of Aunty Ifeoma's car, it was "white and rusted to an unpleasant beown at the fenders" and she even had an experience trapped at petro station for three month. This is important because the socical structure may not allow women, especially a widow, to be weathy.

(WHW) 202022154 https://padlet.com/202022154/12xuav2k6wv58aug/wish/2817379616 Author Adichie leds the readers to explore universal themes by using the examples in different respects based on the Achikie family. The theme of Patriarchy is presented through this method. She uses three perspectives to show how patriarchy rooted deeply in Achikie's society and devalued women and even children, which are Mama, Kambili and Papa-Nnukwu. When Mama told Kambili about her third baby for the first time, she mentioned that the members of umunna even sent people to Papa to "urge him to have children with someone else" because her first child was Kambili, a girl. The "umunna", as a public community department even urges someone to have a second wife, suggests the local legal system also does not act against these kinds of actions that consider women as a tool of reproduction. Mama reinforces this concept by her gratefulness that Papa did not marry again and even tries to persuade Aunty Ifeoma to find someone to marry as she thinks women could not live without a man. Kambili is another victim under patriarchy. She did not have the right to wear skirts that is shorter than her knees and trousers because she was told that was "sinful for a woman". She is even instilled by Papa-Nnukwu, the man she could not stay with more than fifteen minutes, that "women are not supposed to know anything at all" because he said "don't speak like a woman" when Jaja asked something which he thought should be known by everyone.
