Reader's Response 3.11.12

The Final Three Chapters of Nervous Conditions by Tsisi Dangaramba
~this blog was written last week but I am publishing it today for points~
So the past three weeks we read the final chapters of our in-class novel, Nervous Conditions. When I first started the book I was excited but unfortunately my excitement ran a muck and was soon lost. I do hate to say this but over all this book was not enjoyable for me. The only thing I liked is that the book quickly turned into a hunt to find all of the themes, motifs, sentence structures, important paragraphs, and literary elements. But what I really loved was our class discussions and getting to comment on blogs with my interpretation of the questions.
I have such mixed emotions about the last three chapters we read! Chapter eight I really enjoyed but chapters nine and ten I had mixed feelings about. I felt from the beginning of the book that Dangaramba was going to start the book of sad and end it sad as well. But I was truly disappointed with the way Dangaramba ended it. But I loved the themes that Dangaramba really conveys in the last three chapters but the throughout the novel as  well. Over-all what did yaal think over NC?

  1. I just started Nervous Conditions and am kind of confused! Reading everyone's blogs about it helps me understand what the book is really about!
