Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga
Last week in English class we were given the novel Nervous Conditions by Tistsi Dangarembga. Whenever Dr.d told us about this book I was a little excited because it was something new that we were doing but I knew it would be a lot of work. I was really afraid that this book was going to be an allegory novel. Whenever we work on allegories I get really stressed out by all of the themes and motifs that go along with all of the work.
I read the introduction and first chapter of Nervous Conditions last Thursday. I found that the first chapater of the story was a little too much information. Dangarembga introduces almost every character in the first chapter along with a lot of unknown African words which was very confusing. I really enjoyed the introduction but not as much as the first chapter. I'm trying to stay positive with this book even though it's just another thing on my list of things to do in. I really do have high hopes for the plot and the way Dr.d plans on teaching it to us though.
Reading Times:
1.2.12- 95 minutes; Nervous Conditions
1.5.12-55 minutes; Research and note cards for Global Issues Analysis
