Why won’t Kambili look at Amaka to see her reaction to this response? Does Papa still have “control” over her? michellemcclaine https://padlet.com/michellemcclaine/xegwzu7two1epd2k/wish/1244032330 2021-02-26 03:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michellemcclaine/xegwzu7two1epd2k/wish/1244032330 As they arrive at their home in Enugu, Jaja notes “the purple hibiscuses are about to bloom” (253).

Jaja and Kambili have been restricted to an abusive and strict lifestyle their father has created for them. When staying with Aunty Ifeoma, Jaja and Kambili were free to be themselves and the purple hibiscuses were blooming at their aunt's home. The purple hibiscuses blooming at Kambili's and Jaja's home shows this sense of freedom from their father expectations starting to emerge.]]> 2021-02-26 18:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/michellemcclaine/xegwzu7two1epd2k/wish/1246485600
