The novel Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a challenging and sometimes confusing book to read. I have never read a book like this before that starts off with events from before the main event, then switches to events that happened after the main event, then to the main event, and finally to present day. My annotations have been a helpful thing for me. When I annotate, I write down questions or things I notice about the book and then discuss them in class with my table. By doing this, it helps clear up questions I have about the book.
The most challenging part of reading this book is the pace we have been reading it. I am a very slow reader, and we are reading the book very fast. To overcome this, I have been using my study halls wisely and reading during class so that I am not up very late reading. When I first started reading this book I did not think I was going to like it, but the more I read the more I like it. Another challenging but helpful thing associated with the book is the projects that go along with it. The projects can be hard, but they also help me understand and analyze the book more by doing the projects.
