Nervous Conditions: Chapter 6-7

Chapter six was crazy. It starts off as Tambu looks at the difference between whites and blacks, and ends with a life changing event to some characters... Many people get in small fights with their parents whether it's regularly or rarely, usually it isn't a huge deal. Although that wasn't the case with Nyasha. Her father tried to kill her after their argument over what the wore to her first social event. So far in this book there has been numerous occasions where family members try to kill each other, it's like they don't care if there gone.Along with the horrific behavior Babamukuru showed in chapter 6, his reputation is ruined rethought to be a bad person. Tambu, who loved her Uncle probably will never feel the same way again. 

In chapter 7 there was many events that went on in the duration of this chapter.  From returning home to when Lucias baby one theme was evident throughout this chapter, poverty. Along with some racism, poverty is displayed in a big way in this chapter. When Tambu returns from the mission to her home where it is old, run down, and falling apart she tries to tidy up a bit with Nyasha. But not much got accomplished as they still are living a hard, poor life.
