After reading trough chapter 7, I can tell that this book is now making more sense and going in a straight line. (not skipping through time a lot) I am still trying to have positive thoughts while reading this book, it is just that the chapters are so long that it is hard for me to read because I can't read for that long. All the annotations and the reading at one time kind of overwhelm me. Thankfully since we had a week break, I could space my reading out which helped me a lot. I am happy to not be as rushed with these 2 chapters. I think that the book is getting a lot less confusing as far as the timeline goes, which is making it more interesting for me to read. Even though this book is very difficult for me to read, I am not going to give up on it and I am going to keep positive thoughts so maybe by the end I will really enjoy it.
One of the most confusing things in the book are all of the African words and names. I have to constantly look at the sheet and in other places to find what these words mean so I am not even more confused. This slows down my reading even more. I wish everyone would just call each other by their names, it would make this book so much more easy and enjoyable to read. I think that when a book is hard to read, it makes it not as enjoyable. I know that it is for the better and will make us better readers, and I am trying to keep that in mind as I read this book. I just hope that when I get through it, I will be a better reader than when I started it. I think the book has gotten more interesting since Tambu has gone to the mission because more interesting things have happened. I also learned a lot about certain characters that I didnt know before which is always good to know, and fun to find out. So overall, so far I think that the book has gotten better as I have read more and I hope it continues to do so.
