Looking back on pages 48-51, answer the following questions in as much detail as possible:
- Where does Kambili stand in the line, and what does this suggest about her?
- What do the teachers wear, and what does this tell us?
- Who sings the national anthem, and why do you think some teachers don’t sing it?
- Why does Kambili struggle to start the pledge?
- Which quotations tell us that she is worried and frightened about speaking in front of people?
- What impressions do you have of (a) Kambil (b) Ezinne (c) Chinwe from their conversation on pages 49 and 50?
- What do you think the term ‘backyard snob’ means? Why might this apply to Kambili?
- Kambili tells Ezinne she “didn’t hear the first time Mother Lucy called me.” Do you think this is true?
- Why does Kambili run off at the end of school?
- What did Kambili’s Papa do when she took longer than expected?
