Purple Hibiscus—Aunty Ifeoma's House

At this part of Purple Hibiscus, Kambili enters her aunt and cousins' home of "sin".  Although her cousins live a fairly average life, many of the things they do would be cause for violent punishment in  Kambili and Jaja's house.  Although Amaka often mocks Kambili for being rich, Kambili's life in many ways is much worse than Amaka's despite her family's excessive wealth.  At Aunty Ifeoma's, the children can watch TV, sing in Igbo, and laugh, whereas there is no time scheduled for leisure or fun at Kambili's father's house.  Amaka is also allowed to say what she thinks and is not abused regularly.  Although Kambili feels uncomfortable and out-of-place at her aunt's house, she is beginning to find her voice and realize that Papa's religious views are extreme.
