Analyse Reading: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Purple Hibiscus (2003), pp. 89-161
… “The mothers did not mind being sacrificed,” Papa-Nnukwu
continued. “And so each week a mother was killed and the animals shared
the meat. Soon they were all looking well again. Then, a few days before it
was time for Dog’s mother to be killed, Dog ran out wailing the mourning
song for his mother. She had died of the disease. The other animals
sympathized with Dog and offered to help bury her. Since she had died of
the disease, they could not eat her. Dog refused any help and said he would
bury her himself. He was distraught that she would not have the honor of
dying like the other mothers who were sacrificed for the village.
