For my Hum 103 class we had to read a book called "Sunjata" an epic tale about a boy who is destine for greatest and become king.
The book was in all dialog first most, making it ridiculous to follow. Then while reading it, it did become interesting and i was enjoying it, but the thing that bugged me the most is that in went from one story to another.
SPOILER ALERT:
In the book Sunjata's mother finally becomes the 52th wive of the current king and is the only one to bare him a son. Since the other co wives are jealous and angry they give Sologon( Sunjata's Mom) medicine that makes her be pregant for 7 years, before she catches on and stops drinking/eating it. After he is born, the co wives binded his feet to the ground for another 7 years! now the story counitues about his childhood, but shorty after it jumps to a complete other story about Sunjatas Mothers husbands sister. Yes in the END of the book it all ties together but while reading it, its just so confusing.
If you have a chance, go read it :]
xoxo Mia.
