Purple Hibiscus Chapter 9 Review

Kambili's relatives are also Catholic, but they are less strict than Papa. When Aunty Ifeoma prays, she prays for peace and _?_. The second request shocks Kambili.

• Health

• Delicious Food

• a promotion

• laughter

At the end of his visit, the young priest points out that he had not seen Kambili...

• 'speak at all'

• 'laugh or smile'

• 'eat anything at lunch'

• 'talk to her cousin, Amaka'

Aunty Ifeoma receives some bad news. _?_ is sick.

• Kambili's father

• Kambili's mother

• Papa Nnukwu

• Ade Coker

Who doesn't seem too worried that Papa will probably find out that Papa Nnukwu was coming to stay.

• Jaja

• Kambili

• Mama

Auntie Ifeoma talks about Jaja's childhood nickname being like that of Jaja of Opobo. What connection is she trying to emphasize for Jaja?

• Jaja of Opobo was too mean.

• Jaja of Opobo was too greedy.

• Jaja of Opobo was defiant in a good way.

• None of these

At the end of Chapter 9 something happens that awakens a longing in Kambili to join in with her cousins (in the way that Jaja has begun to do). What is it that inspires this longing?

• Her grandfather tells a story and they all participate at the story's conclusion.

• The family sings some Igbo songs together.

• The family watches television together and all laugh at the show.
