Chapter Analysis: The Bite Of The Mango
ENG2DG ISU RESPONSE 2
By Jared Warren
RETELL
The second half of “The Bite Of The Mango” featuring Mariatu Kamara
shifts the theme from desperation, fear, suffering, and children at war to the
brighter side of the spectrum, hope, sanctity, and freedom. To jog the memory
the last section of the book ends on a horrifying note, Maritu’s baby, which was
“planted” against her will, died after suffering many common newborn ailments.
The second section starts with Mariatu joining a theatre troupe looking for a way
to express and hopefully relieve her built up anxiety and false guilt over the
recent events involving the newborn. Although this troupe has no real relation to
the rest of the story in terms of main …show more content…
He sends multiple packages to
Mariatu and her family, which include money and clothes. Not only this but he
wishes to rescue Mariatu from her terrifying reality and bring her to Canada, and
give her a shot at life. He even goes as far as to hide her from Comfort, whom is
trying to take Mariatu back to Sierra Leone. Another provider of hope in this
novel is David. David wishes to support Mariatu by providing her with a
prosthesis and bringing her to London for an education. Although she ends up
leaving for Canada, David had tried his best to help her in her time of need.
These are just two of the many people/situations that provide hope in this
section.
THEME 2
The second theme identified in section two of “The Bite of the Mango” is
self-esteem. This part shows how important it is, and how successful you can
become just having it. In the times of low self esteem, Mariatu is depressed,
even suicidal. This however, starts to change as the others around her motivate
and encourage her, and tell her how capable she is. It all starts at the theatre
troupe. She is told that without her, they refuse to perform as she is equal to …show more content…
So far my family has given over 40,000$ to children and suffering
communities around the world. Other than this program we also donated to
Goodwill, the Diabetes foundation, any charity events, and many other time-
specific fundraisers. We feel that if we were born in another country like Sierra
Leone, a donation could possibly save our life, and that is what we wish to
accomplish.
RELATE 2
The second relation I can make with my book is between the self-esteem
theme. Although cheesy, I have seen many movies that I am reminded of while
reading a motivating and self-driven text. There are two movies that come to
mind specifically, being “Charlottes Web”, a tale about a runty pig, kept only in
this world by the miracles of a selfless spider, and “The Breakfast Club”, a movie
where 5 completely different teenagers, from different cliques and ways of life,
meet in detention and realise they aren’t so different after all. Charlottes Web
reminds me of Mariatu’s story for many reasons. To start, I will deliver a brief
synopsis of the plot. A pig is born to a typical farmers family. The pig, being a
runt, is likely to be executed and birth for being disabled. This is until she
