Week 6 Post B

The children's lives are finally starting to improve, after all the tragedy they have faced. By chance Sade and Femi's social worker recognizes their description from their father who has entered England illegally and is being held for deportation. They are then reunited with their father in prison. It is a great feeling for Sade and Femi to know their father is alive, but it is frustrating to see him behind bars, for standing up for what is right. The Nigerian government has also contacted England, telling them that he murdered his wife. They are willing to do anything to make his life torture, just because he embarassed them and their egos by writing about the truth.

Although the children's lives aren't quite back to normal and never will be since their mom is dead, the author is foreshadowing them being "fully" reunited with their father. This is shown by them meeting their father, who is behind bars and I believe the author only has him appear behind bars, because it would make the story more interesting. Hopefully this prediction turns out to be true, because I would hate to read about a tragic ending.
