Even benjamin that the author used as a narrator in the text was not present to witness what happenes exactly. He and obembe had ran out to search for help to stop the fight only to meet the dead body of ikenna. Even the narration Benjamin gave concerning the fight between ikenna and boja was an imagination as he said..."i imagined" Don't forget that no body was present except boja and ikenna and as the two witnesses died, no one could actually give the detailed account of what happened exactly...would it be right to say that the writer didn't explicitly express the carthasis of the play.Damiyatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528589761066372090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388711307756687286.post-86701878686613381912016-01-26T22:46:11.016+00:002016-01-26T22:46:11.016+00:00For the most part,I had to pause over and over and...For the most part,I had to pause over and over and put my mother in place of Ikenna's mother. On every occasion,I shook my head violently. No,my mother would have strangled the devil out of that thing that wants to break her family. Nonetheless, I cannot dismiss that a family as depicted in "The Fishermen" does exist.<br />I wanted so much for the family to get a reprieve. My only consolation, as Chigozie would deem fit was that simple hug and his description of Nkem,when Ben returned home from serving his jail term.<br />It was a good book.<br /><br />Well reviewed too.DolphinEyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941072561225797626noreply@blogger.com
