Ethan- Purple Hibiscus

Reading Response

   
          Purple Hibiscus is an interesting story with each of its characters and their actions. I begin to learn of the disturbing events in the novel. The dad is a very wealthy man in business as known outside of his house. Inside of his house, no one else understands his true self. His family struggles with the things he says and does that terrifies them for every second of their lives.

          Kambili and Jaja struggle in their childhood lives as they live through this terror. They wonder why this happens but never question as they might be punished. They are also raised in an environment where religion rules. Their father makes them pray and know their religion like the back of their hand. It becomes worse if they mess up in their workings or do anything wrong. They do not even have to do anything wrong to get punished. This story is very interesting and makes me wondering about it after every sentence. I hope many others read this book to understand the true horrors of some lives. i

          I have a lot of things going on in my life right now. I have track, weightlifting, competitions, school, and more. Time is being stretched out like a rubber band to make sure that everything fits. I forget that each second is one that passes by in life and that I may never see again. As much as I stress for time, I have fun doing everything I love to do. It is right before spring break and I have a lot more to discover and do.

           I worry for some of the new competitions ahead. They can determine what happens for the rest of the year with either new competitions in higher rankings or going home and preparing for the next one. I am working harder than ever before, and everyday my body feels the soreness. It is not bad, but it is the building for the new day. It is a new year for me to plan. It may be a little late for plans since it is already March, but it needs to be taken day by day.

Somebody Else Will

          This song is a very nice song to listen to. It is soothing and gives the insight of a story. It is a narrative, an ode, and kind of a ballad. It is a great country song to relate to real life. It tells of the courage people need to do some things.

            It gives the insight of a man who likes a woman. He is afraid to talk to her and just keeps thinking of what would happen if he did not do anything. All he can say is how someone else will talk to her if he does not. It is spirited and gives a good insight.
