Purple Hibiscus is a very challenging book to read but I think the best strategies I use is reading ahead. When I read ahead I read the section that is due for that night and a little more. So the next day I read it agin and some more. So I read it twice to get a better understanding. This really helps for class discussions and with the post colonial cafe assignments.
Another strategy that helps with understanding the book is reading aloud instead of in your head. It allows you to read fast while understanding what you read. They are both very helpful although reading ahead and reading it again is the most helpful. When using these strategies the book is less challenging if challenging at all.
