This is the last chapter of nervous conditions and it kind of dissapointed me. I expected this chapter to be exciting because tambu is going to a new school, but honestly this chapter was boring. It just explained how life was at the convent. One thing that i found interesting was that tambu was the only african american in the convent. All of the other dorm rooms had 4 girls in them and the nuns made all of the colored people stay in one room! there was supposed to be six of them but the novel never really explained that part.
Another interesting part of this novel is that dangarembga decides to come out and say that nyasha is bulimic. In a couple past chapters there has been evidence that nyasha was bulimic such as nyasha continueously excusing herself from the dinner table about eating and then going to the bathroom. Its sad that nyasha is bulimic because there are poor hungry kids walking around on this earth and nyasha has all the food she wants but she takes advantage of this food because her looks are more important. I dont agree with this at all! The way the author ended the book wasnt the best but since the ending wasnt amazing and didnt reveal too much i want to read the sequel!
I thought that this chapter was disappointing too, i assumed that there would be more action in this chapter because it was the last chapter and that she is going to a new school.
ReplyDeleteSo,the novel dont tell us if she died or not of that sickness?
