Quote: "The rain is falling, the sun is shining, Alone Nnadi is cooking and eating"
Reflection:
While going through this page, I noticed this quote. At first i didn't get what this little chant meant. Yet, once i went over it again i noticed that the other little kids are outside playing. Nnadi is in here house doing chores and the other kids are making fun of her. This is just mean. I know kids like this and i know how she feels. This wasn't a big part of the novel, but it caught my eye.

Reflection:
During this portion of the novel, there is a time of the year called the "Feast of the New Yam". It is sort of like an American New Year. This is a wierd yet nice tradition. Yams are the most special food in their culture and must be treated with care. You must not have old yams and must always start fresh. The people clean out all of the pots and get rid of all the yams from the previous year. I like how the people want to be clean.

I don't know whether I am right or wrong, but in my opinion, the second line of the chant reflects the moment, mentioned in the first line which is something that happens in two different but related incidents at the same time. I remember in our childhood (in Sri Lanka) when there was a moment like this in the nature, we ran outdoor to see whether there was a rainbow in the sky and if we saw one, we cried "The raining is falling, the sun shining and It's the wedding day of the FOX".
