Purple hibiscus

English

elena-s [515]1 year ago
5 0

The use of the word flippant in Purple hibiscus refers to Kambili's attempt to indicate that Aunty Ifeoma is speaking to Papa in a disrespectful manner.

When someone speaks to someone else disrespectfully, this phrase is used to indicate it. We can infer from the way it is employed here that the narrator is attempting to explain Aunty Ifeoma's communication style with her brother dad. His sister is able to speak to Papa in a shallow or insulting manner despite the fact that he is greatly feared by his family.

In the postcolonial Nigeria of Purple Hibiscus, there is political unrest and economic hardship. Kambili Achike, the main character, is a member of a prosperous family in Enugu State, where she lives with her devoutly Catholic father Eugene. She is fifteen years old during the majority of the time period covered by the novel.

Firlakuza [10]
<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>
