In the middle of the story, Chinua Achebe relates the circumstances surrounding the marriage of Chike's parents in order to provide us some sort of context for Chike's seemingly strange habits.

Accordingly, Chike and his family live in a traditional Nigerian village where children are regarded 'as the common responsibility of all.' One day, thinking to do him a kindness, a neighbor lady offers Chike, then four years old, a piece of yam.

In the chapter adrift at sea(life of pi),
LenKa [72]

I haven't read the Chapter but have watched the movie, so my answers might differ:-)

1) No, the narrator doesn't come as a selfish. He and Richard Parker (Tiger) were together and on the same boat. He might have thrown Richard off the boat but he let him to stay there. Pi was struggling and starving to survive and so was the tiger. But, Pi, despite of being so hungry and tired, tried to help Richard too. He helped the Tiger by providing him some of the fishes he catched. At last, he also helped Richard to safely get on to the island. So, we can conclude that Pi was very helpful and rather of being selfish, he helped himself and Richard to survive.

2) It was the most adventurous and deadly experience ever. Our ship was wrecked by the storm. The other animals died by drowning but I managed to get on to a boat, with a human. We were struggling a lot but somehow we reached an island, safe and sound after a long journey. The boy helped me with food. I am still very grateful to him.

How do starr and Kenya share an older brother, seven, but they are not related
Nataly_w [17]

In the novel The Hate U Give, Starr and Kenya both have an older brother named Seven. Starr and Kenya only know each other because of their older brother even though both girls have no relation to each other. This is because Seven’s father is Starr’s father, and Seven’s mother is Kenya’s mother which makes them both related to Seven but not directly to one another.
