Reading Response

      This week in english we bean to read our new book Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga. So far in the book the main character Sisi Tambu has described her daily life, her family. She gives descriptions of her family and her relationship with certain people. She mainly focuses on talking about her brother. She begins the chapter by saying "I was not sorry when my brother died."
      Just from reading the first chapter you can characterize that Sisi is a hard worker, she cares a lot about her little sisters. You can also tell that she and her brother don't have a very good relationship even though neither of them treat each other poorly. Even though she doesn't really like her brother you can tell she feels bad from when she says " I could not cold- bloodedly inform my sisters that I had been thinking of how much I dislike our brother. I felt guilty about it." Just form this quote you can infer that she has a good heart because she feels guilty about not liking her brother.
