AP Exam Essay Question 2

To me in the book "The Poisonwood Bible", the author wants the reader to feel bad for not only the people living in Congo, but the Price family too. Throughout the book she uses imagery to paint pictures that help the reader see and feel everything that is going on.

She uses imagery to show the reader how bad the conditions are in Congo, which causes the audience to feel bad for the people that live there. It also makes you feel bad for the mom and the girls because they were dragged there by Nathan. Personally while reading this book I felt bad for the People that live in Congo because they are just fighting to stay alive, while here in America people get mad when their phone is running to slow. It just made me realize how bad it actually is over there and how easy we have it here. I felt sorry for the daughters in the Price family because their dad was more worried about completing his "mission" than taking care of them. I felt the author did a very good job showing that the people in Congo were more worried about living day to day rather than taking on a new religion.

The author did a very good job of describing events that were happening in the book, which made it easy for the reader to feel what the Price family and the people in Congo were going through. By doing this, she influenced me to feel bad for them and see how difficult life is in Congo.
