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.

Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to. That way it is impossible to answer your question. However, I will help you by showing you what "mood" is within a narrative and showing you how to recognize a change in mood within the story.
When you read a story, you realize that the narrative conveys a kind of emotion, through the narration of the facts and through the actions of the characters. The emotion being conveyed is the mood of the narrative. Often, this mood changes during reading, this change can be gradual or drastic, in addition to showing similar or completely different emotions.
Books with sad and melancholy stories convey an equally sad emotion. That way we can say that the narrative has a sad mood. However, over time the characters begin to change and begin to win their battles and be happy. In this way, the narrative begins to change to a happy mood, for example.
Can you show the story? And maybe show choice answers if there is!
