In chapter 7, when Tambu is about to go back to the homestead, she doesn't really want to go. She always wondered why Nhamo never wanted to come home, and now she doesn’t and realizes how bad it is compared to the mission. She also sees that since she left everything has gone downhill because she used to do everything around the house, but since she isn’t there it doesn’t get done. She also says the only reason she would want to go there is to see her mother. There is an arguement between Maiguru and Tambu's mom because Maiguru won't give an opinion on Lucia's case. Tambu's mom shows lots of signs of jealously by going on and on about why she hates Maiguru (even in front of Nyasha). She is jealous since both of her children have left her to go to the mission, but really it was Babamukuru who took them.

Nervous Conditions 3
Over Mardi Gras we were told to read chapters 6 & 7, so that is what I'm going to talk about today! I finished the whole book, and would right about the heated ending, but I don't want to give it away to anyone who is readng this and hasn't finished it yet. The fight between Nyasha and Babamukuru didn't surprise me because I could feel things heating up between them. Nyasha deffinately wanted to fight with Babamukuru though because she really pushed him on, and anyone would have know not to push Babamukuru including her. What did shock me though was that Babamukuru actually started to physically fight Nyasha! What kind of father does that to their child? It made me mad that all of the bystanders waited a while before stopping them. What Babamukuru did seems like a form of child abuse. Tambu's comments lead us to infer that Nyasha could have stopped the fight easily, but she just kept going on and on.

Melissa, I am so jealous that you finished the book so early! Now you can relax this week! I agree with what you said about Babamakuru abusing Nyasha, because that was just unbelievable! I had some of the same ideas as you about the argument between Tambu's mom and Maiguru, and the discussion today in class definitely helped clear a few things up about that. Great post!
