It was done by a secret society of initiated men/members of the Nyau brotherhood. This is performed in July harvest season, weddings, funerals, and the installation of the death of the chief. The dancers wear masks and costumes that are made up of wood and straw, symbolizing wild animals, spirits if the dead, and slave traders. All of these represent something evil and a form of misbehavior, teaching others a lessons and values.

William's first personal encounter with magic: One day a boy named Shabani talked William into trying out the mangolomera that he found himself. William was tired of getting bullied all the time so he decided to try it out. He followed everything Shabani had told him to do. He told William that it will take three days for it to actually work so he waited. The three days was over and William decided to test his new powers. He went up to this other boy that was twice his size. He challenged the boy to fight and as he thought he was winning and was finally feeling strong, he found himself beaten up and on the ground. Then he realized that the magolomera that Shabani gave him was fake. He told him that his magic didn't work and as you can probably guess, Shabani made up an excuse and told William that he shouldn't have bathe for those three days.
What William learned from the encounter: William was left with plenty of injuries after his fight so he immediately regretted his decision of trusting Shabani. He thought to himself that it was probably for the best that he didn't get powers.]]> 2017-01-19 20:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/148233784 arlacasa https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/148240266 Chapter name: The Battle with magic

Significant Quote: "It was the first time I'd ever seen my parents suffer, and the sight of it frightened me more than any magic ever could (Kamkwamba, 50)."
SIAS: In this chapter, William's uncle died and we learned how the Malawians treat each other when someone passes away like every grave has a hidden compartment at the bottom where the coffin slides through. This is to keep the family from seeing dirt fall on their love ones and protect the body from the falling dirt. ]]> 2017-01-23 18:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/148824994 arlacasa https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/149728564 2017-01-26 19:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/149728564 arlacasa https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/149729329 Sustainable: able to be used without being completely used up or destroyed

Relevant article: http://www.worldwildlife.org/threats/deforestation
-Deforestation keeps the Malawian poor because people kept cutting down trees without realizing how it affects their environment and causing more damage. Without the trees, there would be more flood washing away crops, garbage clogging up dams, making the turbine to shut down and causing power cuts. This resulting in expensive repairs and increases charge of electricity that the Malawians cannot afford. ]]> 2017-01-31 19:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/150664571 arlacasa https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/150807454 http://www.bradford.ac.uk/research-old/ijas/ijas.htm]]> 2017-02-01 12:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/150807454 arlacasa https://padlet.com/arlacasa/yeq14jpg7wxk/wish/150953203 - a condition where a person feels very weak due to having fewer red blood cells than normal
