2ndEntry: The
Helpful Me
Hi, this is about my
good attitude towards my family.
During the preparation before the
wrestling match in the New Yam Feastival, I helped my family members preparing
food. When Nyowe’s mother, Nma, asked Ekwefi whether I could bring the fire in
the broken pot to her or not, I immediately carry it to Nwoye’s mother. Not
just that, I also offered Nma to make the fire for her. I went outside her hut to
bring some sticks from a huge bundle of firewood to build fire.
After I helped Nma, I went back
again to Ekwefi to help her prepare the yams. I ran to the barn and brought
back two yams from the dwarf wall. I helped her because at the wrestling match
would begin soon and as the only child of her, it is my duty to do what she
asked me to do.
When it was our turn to serve food
to my father, I helped Ekwefi to bring the pottage in a bowl to Okonkwo. While
I was sitting near my father, I asked him whether he would go to see the
wrestling or not. He said that he would go so I offered myself to bring his
chair but my father refused because I am a girl and that was a boy’s job. Even though
I wanted to help my father, I should know my limit and the difference of a girl
and a boy’s job.
