Or some who guessed that you were African asked if you knew so and so from Kenya or so and so from Zimbabwe because they thought Africa was a country where everyone knew everyone else” (p. 60 l. 16-21). So, when she finally meets a guy who actually is aware of her background and roots, she is impressed. They become a couple and Akunna loves him, but still there are a lot of things she can not get used to and which confuse her. Her relationship to this guy really shows the difference between living in Africa and America. She does simply not understand how he just can take a year of his education to travel, - because an education is a very huge and necessary privilege in Africa, that you just can not take a year of from. Akunna is also very loyal to her parents (frequently she sends them money, even though she does not earn much), so the fact that her boyfriend has a very strange relationship to his parents also confuses her. They also have very different ideas of money, which finds expression in Akunna’s negative reaction of getting presents.

These expectations increased when she was in the presence of “great power, [her] mother talking story” (20). In one particular situation, the narrator recalls her mother singing about Fa Mu Lan, the woman warrior. Although her mother expected her daughter to become a wife or a slave, the narrator had a different idea; she would “grow up a woman warrior” (20).
