When I first started reading Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie, I did not think I would enjoy it. It wasn't the kind of book that I usually read. I prefer mystery, action and adventure, and fantasy. So, for my bread and butter I chose to annotate because it would make me read intensely and in between the lines. My annotations have allowed me to notice hidden messages and come up with questions to ask in class rather than aimlessly reading.
Now I am really enjoying this book. I like the characters and how they affect each other, the overall plot, and the different versions of freedom. I think that is because that is what I understand the best and what my annotations focus on. I have a harder time seeing other themes within the story and fully connecting the title to the story, which I can fix by broadening my annotations. But overall, I am enjoying and understanding the majority of this book.
