a. The stone pendant that was given to her mother is a symbol that reminds Effia about her past and where she came from. It is also a connection to her sister Esi without her knowing.
b. "Within a week, he had come back to the village to ask Baaba for Effia's hand in marriage. Cobbe's rage at the proposal filled every room like hot steam" (14).
c. The primary conflict is whether Effia should marry in the village or marry someone at Cape Castle and the conflict between Baaba and Cobbe deciding what to do. The resolution is that she marries James Collins and lives at Cape Castle for the rest of her life.

Quey's generation has changed in a major way - the family has gone from an important line in their Fante village to a family that became rich because of the slave trade. Also, when Effia was young, her father had been certain that she would marry an important Fante man, but now the family line is intermingled with the British, something Effia's father did not expect.
- "He would not be weak. He was in the business of slavery, and sacrificed had to be made" (69).
- "Every time he saw the bomboys set off with a canoe full of slaves, he thought of his father standing on the shores of the Cape Coast Castle, ready to receive them. On this shore, watching the canoe push off, Quey brimmed with the same shame that accompanied each slave departure. What had his father felt on this shore?" (62).
- "But, Quey, your mother is not my sister. She is not the daughter of my mother, and when she married a white man from the Castle, I began to lose her, and because my mother had always hated her, I began to hate her too" (68).

2. A symbol in Quey's chapter is the name Richard, because it symbolizes his relationship with Cudjo, and his identity struggle ("Richard is bad like the British", but his father is British).

3. The primary conflict of this generation is Quey's uncertainty about his racial and sexual identities. 
- The "resolution" to this conflict is when Quey decides to accept Fiifi's offer to inherit his position and power.

"Among the Asantes, the warmth he'd felt from his mothers people. the longer he stayed in Fanteland, the sonner he wished to get away" (102).
2. A symbol that represents James coming to reality with his  Identity is Mampanyin. Mampanyin allows James to see what he really truly desires. She doesn't do any witchcraft on him but allows him to see what he truly wants.
"People thinkg ther are coming to me for advice,' Mampanyin said,'but really, they come to me for permission" (105)
