Perspective of Nyasha

I must say that chapter 6 was a doozie.... I never saw that one coming. So, no better person to personify than Nyasha.

When I first read the altercation in the text I almost thought, it was all just a joke or a dream, that non of what was happening was happening. Yet I was wrong, and to my surprise the quarrel intensified. I could only imagine seeing things from the teenage point of view of Nyasha. my first thoughts were that everyone in the room must have been in complete shock. I think that Nyasha was both shocked and expectant of the violent beat down. Yet to experience such a traumatic turn of events at such a young age must have some long term effect, but we may not know until later chapters... Though Nyasha has shown to be a very reluctant, resilient, determined, and rebellious individual, I think a brutal assault such as the one administered by Babamukuru would rattle and change any individual. I definitely think her perspective on everything like Babamukuru, school, the mission, even the entire world will be permanently changed forever. We will not find out until later in the book if any of my presumptions are correct. So until then, back to reading.
