Purple Hibiscus

Purple Hibiscus is a book that shows the cultural society and social issues amongst the people. The reason that I believe this is because the book commonly gives small details that show abuse and poverty and how people are commonly treated amongst communities.Purple Hibiscus is a book that shows symbolism and social issues in an intriguing way. Papa who is seemingly perfect to the community has major family issues. He abuses his wife, kids and in some cases kids to be. Many do not realize this but there is nothing to be done because he is the glue in their community.
      Purple Hibiscus has shown that many things must be forgotten or things that you would not expect happen very commonly where they live. When Papa beat his wife and future child the children acted like it was just another one of those days and it was normal for beatings to happen. Throughout this book the cultural differences and mindsets amongst the different groups are very different from what you would see anywhere else. I am excited to see how things like poverty and abuse continue to layout through this novel.
