Text:

 

"Have you written to your dad yet?" asked Nene1

one afternoon as she sat with Nnaemeka in her

room at 16 Kasanga Street, Lagos.

 

" No. I've been thinking about it. I think it's

better to tell him when I get home on leave!"

 

"But why? Your leave is such a long way off

yet—six whole weeks. He should be let into our

happiness now."

 

Nnaemeka was silent for a while, and then began ve

ry slowly as if he groped for his words: "I

wish I were sure it would be happiness to him."

 

"Of course it must," replied Nene, a

little surprised. "W

hy shouldn't it?"

 

"You have lived in Lagos all your life, and you know

very little about people in remote parts of

the country."

 

"That's what you always say. But I don't believe

anybody will be so unlik

e other people that

they will be unhappy when their

sons are engaged to marry."

 

"Yes. They are most unhappy if the engagement

is not arranged by them. In our case it's

worse—you are not even an Ibo."

 

This was said so seriously and so bluntly that

Nene could not find speech immediately. In the

cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her something of a joke that a

person's tribe coul

d determine whom he married.

 

At last she said, "You don't really mean that he

will object to your marrying me simply on that

account? I had always thought you Ibos were

kindly disposed to other people."

 

QUESTION:One of the issues explored in this story is the relationship between fathers and sons. What, specifically, do you think is being said about that relationship?

Find at least one quotation from the story that helps to support your answer and use proper MLA to cite it.
