What may the message of Buchi Emecheta be?

In The Moonlight Bride Buchi Emecheta shows us that she is against the discrimination of albinos. In the story the bride is albino and she is very welcome in the village of Odanta. They really believe that she is supposed to bring good luck into the village and to their umunna (community). They think that she is the reason why they were able to discover the snake and hunt it, getting a lot of good items from/with it. When she arrived to their village, they didn’t discriminate her based on her looks and after getting to know her, they liked her personality and who she was on the inside. This shows that it is wrong to judge people just because they are different on the outside. It’s not albinos fault that they are born like that and it is a cruelty what some cultures do to them because of wrong beliefs.

If monkeys don’t discriminate them, why would us?

White Paper (it can have a little light)

No, I cannot write if I have no inspiration… It can come from the air, from the Earth, but mainly from the people and from me: me and what I feel.


I love to write, it is true. But sometimes it is so difficult to express something on a piece of paper… some years or months ago it was easier but maybe I was less demanding. Now I am looking for a more literary writing. I wish to be drowned in descriptions, wrapped up in narrations, full of characters, bewitched by the magic of linking words: some nouns, accompanied by a few adjectives, plus a pinch of adverbs and more! More! Conjunctions, pronouns, determiners, articles! And then we can form phrases, sentences and a text: a discourse, a dialogue, an argumentative essay, an opening of the heart, a story (an enchantment story, a real story, an alternative story with unicorns, and computers, and girls and ETs and acrobats!), a description…

WOW! We have just to wait that this light, this breeze, this perfume come through us and then, then we should find a pencil (yes, a pencil is always better, it is more inspirational), grab a piece of white paper and let the magic happen: we start by seeing blurs, then a more homogeneous colour. Oh! It is grey: the grey of rough draft, the grey of poetry, the grey of the old manuscripts.

And we are ready to show the world what we think, what we see. And we can make the others cry, laugh, or just make them smile and pass their hand on our head, our heart.

And how I love watching this scandal!

History of Nigeria

Archaeological research has shown that people were already living in southwestern Nigeria (specifically Iwo-Eleru) as early as 9000 BC.

Yoruba people are one of the largest ethno-linguistic or ethnic groups in west Africa.[6] The majority of the Yoruba speak the Yoruba language. The Yoruba constitute around 30 million individuals throughout West Africa and are found predominantly in Nigeria with approximately 21 percent of its total population.

Yoruba settlements are often composed of three main generations:

• The first generation is made up of founding towns and cities of the origin or capitals of Yoruba states/kingdoms.

• The second generation is those created by conquest, diaspora or/and resettlement.

• The third generation is those that emerged after the Yoruba wars.

Igbo people are an ethnic group living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria. They speak Igbo, which includes various Igboid languages and dialects; today, a majority of them speak English alongside Igbo as a result of British colonialism. Igbo people are among the largest and most influential ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Before British colonialism, the Igbo were a politically fragmented / divided group. There were variations in culture such as in art styles, attire and religious practices. Various subgroups were set according to clan, lineage, village affiliation and dialect. There were not many centralized chieftaincy, hereditary aristocracy, or kingship customs except in kingdoms like that of the Nri, Agbor and Onitsha. This political system changed significantly under British colonialism in the 19th century.

Certain conflicts with other Nigerian ethnicities led to the Igbo dominant Eastern Nigeria seceding from Nigeria to create the independent state of Biafra. The Nigerian-Biafran war (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970) broke out shortly after. The end of the war led to the defeated Republic of Biafra being reabsorbed into Nigeria.

The Hausa Kingdoms were a collection of independent city-states situated between the Niger River and Lake Chad.

The Hausa Kingdoms began as seven states.

The Hausa Kingdoms emerged in the 13th century as vibrant trading centers. The primary exports were leather, gold, cloth, salt, kola nuts, animal hides, and henna.

Despite relatively constant growth, the city-states were vulnerable to aggression and, although the vast majority of its inhabitants were Muslim by the 16th century, they were attacked by Muslim jihadists from 1804 to 1808. In 1808 the last Hausa state was finally conquered by Usuman dan Fodio and incorporated into the Sokoto Caliphate.

Florence Onye Buchi Emecheta is a PEPA African novelist who has published over 20 books, plays and shorts about child slavery, motherhood, female independence and freedom, and she was born on July 21, 1944, in Lagos, Nigeria.
She is the daughter of Alice (okwuekwuhe) Emecheta and Jeremy Nwabudinke, who was railway worker in the 40s’.
Due to the gender discrimination, Buchi was kept at home while her younger brother was sent to school, but after persuading her parents to consider the benefits about her education, Buchi was then sent to an all-girl’s missionary school.
When Buchi was nine years old, her father died and, one year later she received a full scholarship to the Methodist Girls School.
At eleven she got engaged to Sylvester Onwordi, and she stayed at the Methodist Girls School until their marriage, when Buchi turned sixteen years old.
After their marriage Sylvester moved to London to attend University and Buchi only joined in 1962.
In six years Buchi already had five children, but she was unhappy and trapped in oft-violent marriage.

She also wrote many articles about Black British life in several journals and newspapers.
In 1972 she published her first book of shorts, titled ‘In the Ditch’. This book showed the struggles of a main character named Adah, who was forced to live in a housing estate while working as a librarian to support her five children, needless to say, this story talked about her own life.
In 1974 her book Second-Class Citizen was published and, both this book and In the Ditch were published as one single book titled Adah’s Story in 1983.

Until 1976 she was a youth worker and sociologist for the Inner London Education Authority. After that she visited the United States and was a community worker in Camden, New Jersey, from 1976 to 1978.

Nigeria

Nigeria

1. Demography

          Nigeria is the most populous country of Africa and represents a quart of the population in the West African. There is a big variety of costumes, languages, traditions between 389 ethnic groups of the country. Nigeria has a big tax of fecundity and a big population growth. There is more than 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria as hauçá-fulani, vorubás, igbos, ijaw, kanuris, ibibios, annangs, tiv and efik. The most common religions are Islamism and Christianity and the official language is English.

2. Igbos

          They are one of the biggest ethnic African groups. They live in the East, South and Southeast of Nigeria, besides Cameroons and Equatorial Guinea. In 1967, supported by the French multinational Elf-Aquitaine, they declared the independence of the East of Nigeria, creating the Biafra Republic. There was a widespread famine in this region and a civil war that leaded to the defeat of the Igbos.

3. The Igbos language

          Igbo is a language spoken in Nigeria by approximately 20-25 millions of people. It is written in Latin alphabet and it is a tonal language like Chinese. There are hundreds of different dialects and languages that derive from Igbo and the most are intelligible between them, like ikwerre enuane, bende, owerri, ngwa, umuahia, nnewi, onitsha, awka, abriba, arochukwu, nsukka, mbaise, abba, ohafia, agbor, wawa okigwe, ukwa/ndoki and ekpeye. The high degree of similarity between them makes easier to form a dialect continuity.

3rd Term

In the 3rd term, we are going to study "The Moonlight Bride" by Buchi Emecheta. Before starting to analyse the story, we researched about the country, Nigeria (geography, main peoples and cultural traditions), and the biography of the author.

"Invictus" - The movie

Opinion text

I really liked the movie " Invictus " because it has many good actors like Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, etc.

They performed very well the story of Nelson Mandela and his effort to unite the nation through a game called rugby, after the apartheid.

This movie shows that a single game can join different persons who have different opinions, tastes, and still live in peace and harmony supporting the same team.

I recomend it.

"Invictus" - The movie

Opinion text about the movie "Invictus"

I liked the movie "Invictus" because it shows a different side of South Africa and makes us  have a different point of view about the country, their people and their history. The movie shows us a new and original way to make Mandela's government be accepted and taken seriously by all. It had a good message against the discrimination and the apartheid and had a happy ending, proving that one man can make a difference and showing the importance and the globalization of sports.

Gay Marriage - January

This past Friday, January 8th, the Portuguese parliament allowed the marriage of gay people (people of the same sex). This was a very polemic theme and it brought about many controversies among the politicians (and among the population), so they spent weeks making a decision about the issue.
The approval was celebrated right away with a marriage between two women in front of the Parliament. I think it was a good decision for the evolution of our society and it is a good improvement to end the discrimination against gay people and gay marriage.

People of the same sex don’t always marry because they are homosexual; sometimes two girl friends marry just to help one of them to stay on the country, for example. But if two people of the same sex love each other, I don’t see the reason why they shouldn’t be together and enjoy the same rights as the heterosexual couples.
The next issue will be if they should or not be allowed to adopt. I think that it should be allowed because they could help a lot of orphans and poor children.

Global Warming - January

Since the last decade it is possible to see the consequences of Human actions. The human beings don’t think much about the problems of our world, they just care about technological advances, richness or fame.

Global warming isn’t a recent thing; it is a problem that has progressed along the years.

Nowadays big catastrophes are happening around the world like earthquakes, tsunamis, insufficiency of water, as well as extreme high temperatures or extreme cold.

This problem even causes health problems like, for example, in China, people have to wear masks because of the air pollution or when we go to the beach we must put a lot of sunscreen because of the UV rays that cause more and more skin cancers.

One of the biggest issues of  global warming is that many animals are in extinction, for example, in the Arctic, or even animals that don’t resist the extreme temperatures they aren’t accustomed to.

Now I can say that people are becoming more realistic about the consequences of our actions, and are paying more attention to what they do. Even politicians are concerned about this issue and are making many conferences where they establish goals to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere.

This is our problem, and the salvation of all next generations lies in our hands, so think twice before putting trash on the ground and spending money on things that you don’t need, that way we will save our planet.

Mobile phone radiations ‘protect’ brain against Alzheimer - January

A study from the Investigation Center of the University of Florida proves that the radiations from cell phones can help protect and even reverse Alzheimer. For this investigation rats were used, which were exposed for long periods of time to the electromagnetic waves that are emitted by the terminals and antennas of cell phones.

The application of the experience in younger rats protected their cognitive capabilities, while older rats, already with memory problems, recovered their capabilities of memorisation. After a few months of exposure to radiations, the memory of rats has improved above the normal level.

A study from the Environmental Working Group discovered that Motorola and BlackBerry cell phones emit more radiations and Samsung cell phones are those that emit the lower radiation.

After that we think that people, especially teenagers, will have an excuse to use cell phones all the time. Some will prefer Motorola or BlackBerry to prevent or reverse Alzheimer, but most of the people choose Samsung and other cell phones that emit fewer radiations because of the studies that say that these types of radiations can cause cancer.

In the end, what should we believe in? Even if the two studies are true, you will not have Alzheimer, but you can have cancer.

Alice in Wonderland - Scenery, Wardrobe and Visual Effects

In the movie we can observe a real scenery at the beginning, in Alice’s real world life, on the other hand in Underworld everything is fictional and full of colour and visual special effects, mainly in the movements of nature things, like rocks, mushrooms and butterflies. In this unreal world, there are a lot of virtual things that are impossible to exist, like animals that talk, cats that fly, caterpillars that smoke, playing cards that fight, flowers with faces and expressions, and so on, and so on…

Here, there are two courts: a red one that bellows to the Queen of Hearts and where everything is red and with a heart shape; a white one where everything is white and where there is an atmosphere of peace and harmony.

Except in these two spaces, where Alice is dressed according to these colours, she is always wearing blue dresses. We also notice a beautiful dress that hatter makes for her when she is very, very, little. Joana e Vanessa.

Alice in Wonderland – Language

In Alice in Wonderland we have British English that sometimes presents an Irish or Welsh accent that shows us some varieties of English.

Are used ancient words and words that don't exist, in a more formal structure.

There are moments in which the hatter speaks very fast and says many words, where he changes his accent and stays very angry.

In other situation, the twin brothers speak English in a way that only makes sense for them.

Tânia e Mário.

Alice in Wonderland - Characters

Alice
She is a 19-year-old young lady "who doesn't quite fit into Victorian society and structure." Her return to Wonderland "becomes a rite of passage as she discovers her voice and herself." Although facing pressures to conform to society's expectations, Alice grows into a more strong-willed and empowered heroine who chooses her own path. Alice changes size throughout the story, ranging from a height of merely six inches to a maximum of 20 feet tall.

Tarrant Hightopp, the Mad Hatter

The orange hair is an allusion to the mercury poisoning suffered by many hatters who used mercury to cure felt. The Mad Hatter is Alice's ally. They have an understanding about each other. They both feel like outsiders and feel alone in their separate worlds, and have a special bond and friendship. Mad Hatter is like a mood ring, his emotions are very close to the surface". Mad Hatter's clothes, skin, hair, personality and accent change throughout the film to reflect his emotions.

Iracebeth of Crims, the Red Queen

The Red Queen is the older sister of the White Queen. She also hates animals, and she proves this by using animals as furniture. The Red Queen is just like a toddler, because she’s got a big head and she’s a tyrant. Toddlers have no sympathy for any living creature, just bosses us around with no please or thank yous.

Mirana of Marmoreal, the White Queen

She’s a caption on a magnet of Happy Bunny holding a knife; cute but psycho. She is very eccentric and dramatic. She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen. She really likes the dark side, but she's so scared of going too far into it that she's made everything appear very light and happy. But she's living in that place out of fear that she won't be able to control herself.

Chessur, the Cheshire Cat

He is a dapper tabby with the ability to appear and disappear. He is all calm, casual sensuality with a seductive grin that masks his cowardice. It's the cat's disembodied head that first appears to Alice in Tulgey Wood after she has been attacked by the vicious Bandersnatch. He offers to purify the gashes on her arm by licking them. Alice declines, although she allows him to lead her to the Hatter's Tea Party where the Hatter blames him for deserting them on the day the Red Queen seized control of Wonderland. Using his skills and the Hatter's coveted top hat, the Cheshire Cat later finds a way to redeem himself.

Nivens McTwisp, the White Rabbit

The White Rabbit works for the Red Queen, but is also a secret member of the Underland Underground Resistance. He was sent (by the Hatter) to search for Alice. The White Rabbit is an iconic character.
