Student Question
What's the most interesting part of The Bride Price?
Quick answer:
The most interesting part of the story is when Aku-nna's father, Ezekiel, dies, highlighting the cultural clash between Aku-nna's traditions and British colonial influence. This moment emphasizes the tension as her family navigates different burial rites to honor both cultures, revealing the complexities of cultural integration and the impact of colonization on traditional practices.
Personally, i think the most interesting part of the story was when Aku-nna's father, Ezekial, passed away, and the repurcussion, and how Aku-nna and her family dealt with it. It was the first time the clashes between Aku-nna's culture and the British colonization became clear. For example, altough they clearly have different burial rites than the British, they follow both cultures so as not to offend any God. I think this culture clash was most interesting to me.
