Lit Circle: feminist

I chose to be the feminist for the Bel and Serpent because i think Leah going on the hunt was a very big thing. Leah first of all is an American girl in the Congolese Village. This makes her stand out twice as much and made the people twice as reluctant to let her join in on the hunt. Tata Ndu is very much against the Western teachings that Nathan is bringing so letting his daughter come along on the hunt would be even worse. But, aside from that fact, the Congolese women don't even hunt with the men so it would be really weird if Leah went. But to settle the decision, Tata Ndu called everyone to vote again...but this time he lost...and Leah was allowed on the hunt. I think the fact that Tata Ndu lost and Leah went on the hunt symbolizes that some old ways are going to change.
