While reading through this week’s chapters, many thoughts went through my head with even some personal reflection on my life. Yetu’s responsibility and role of being a historian is obviously a huge task to take on especially at such a young age and personally, I don’t blame her from swimming away from that duty. I view the Wajinru’s “Remembrance” ceremony pretty selfish of them where they have a desire to remember their history and suffer the pain like Yetu has only for them to wipe their hands after a few days of pain and dump everything back on that poor girl. When Yetu was conversating with Oori about her past, Oori said, “All dead I’m am the last of the Oshuben” (pg92) I feel like this brings out a similarity between the two because Yetu is the only historian as the previous one Basha has already died. I think this is good for Yetu because she can sort of relate to someone for once when she couldn’t even relate to her Amaba. On page 99 Amaba asks Yetu what about the History could be so maddeing. When Yetu says the part about three children exploding Amaba replies, “Why are you telling me these horrible things” indicating that Amaba had barely any effort to understand where Yetu is feeling. Looking from a broader view, I believe history should be available to everyone (and not for a limited time) so people can learn from previous mistakes and understand their culture, values, and traditions. Leaving history to one person allows the opportunity to manipulate it to one own’s advantage, not saying that Yetu will do this, but we see this being done in today’s education system.
