Reading response to Purple Hibiscus

Purple Hibiscus is causing me some troubles so far. I couldn't understand the scene where Jaja and other people went to the funeral because the wordings sounded too abstract to me. But it was interesting to see the contrast between Kambili before and after going to Nsukka even though some things didn't change like how Papa is dedicated to his religious views because I knew that Kambili was affected by his violence during the first part of the book.

I also felt uncomfortable about how Papa acted in front of the public and in front of his family members. Papa has good reputations from the people in public because of his awards and his donations to charities. But he acted totally different in front of his family members by forcing them to go to church and giving severe punishments.

Dialogue

  "Hey", said Tom. "Sup", Andy replied back. "How was your party last night?", Tom said as he grabbed a bag of family size chips. "Good night", said Andy. As soon as Tom heard him say "Good night", he made a facial expression with an anger. "Dude, what the heck?", he said. "I was just asking how your night went and you finished our conversation. What's wrong with you? I didn't know you were trying to be mean to me even though I didn't do anything rude to you." Then Andy made a different facial expression with a confusion, "Why are you mad? All I did was answering your question. Calm down." Tom replied, "No you didn't, you said good night. You probably tried to end our conversation because you hated me."      Andy was wondering why Tom got mad for a simple question. Then Andy went through his voice to try to clear out his misunderstanding. "No! That's not what I meant by

Research Post

 My research topic is about Islamophobia. Islamophobia is a type of non-Muslim people who are disrespecting the Muslims. Islamophobia is a serious problem in our modern society especially because of the many violence that Islamists did around the world, who claim to be a Muslim. In my research paper, I will answer my research question how do violent acts done in the name of Islam go against the principles of Islam?  How has this contributed to Islamophobia?  Just about few decades ago, people didn't really know anything about Islam or things that are related to Islam unless you are Muslim or related to Muslim society. But in our society that we currently I've in, people have made many mistakes about Islam and so does the Islamists. They are both misinterpreting in their own way. I found it interesting to try to find out what was going through the Islamophobic society.

Vocabulary Free Post

When my sister used to go to a college in Louisiana, we met each other on the weekends when my sister had time to spend time with me. She always looked tired when she was coming into my house because of her work that she did and drive that made her feel exhausted. I was concerned about it because I didn't want her to feel overwhelming about the fact that she had to come every weekend. So  I told her that she didn't need to come every weekend if that's making her feel uncomfortable. But she said she's fine because she didn't like staying in her dorm for the whole week when she doesn't have any classes.  Most of the time, we used to go somewhere to eat with my sister. She and I liked going somewhere together to spend more time. Out of all the places we've been, Zoe's Kitchen was probably the place where we mostly stayed. I always get a salad but she likes to get a hummus and a pita. I first didn't like them but I started to like those as I see her e
