Chapter 2
One of the more significant events in the chapter is the stealing of corn from Tambu. This corn is supposed to pay for Tambu's future education, yet someone keeps stealing it from her fields. She later discovers that it is Nhamo who is stealing her corn. This is important because her lack of corn means that she in turn lacks money to go to school, which means that she will be missing school that year.
This event shows Nhamo's cunning and his adeptness with deception. It also shows his cruelty toward his female siblings, and his competitiveness toward them. He seems to look down his nose at them, as well as all other women.
