“Changing Perspectives”
In this activity, students will choose a character to analyze by examining their actions and/or attitudes during a positive experience and comparing them to their actions and/or attitudes in response to witnessing violence and hunger. Students will then further analyze the character by conveying their perspective in a diary entry that details the impact of these negative experiences.
Throughout the novel, the characters in Half of a Yellow Sun witness The Horrors of War. Since the story is told through multiple characters’ perspectives, the reader has the benefit of observing and understanding how and why each character responds to these horrors differently. How do the violent events in the plot impact the characters, potentially changing them forever?
