I found this reading section to be both the most action packed and most disturbing section so far. The most disturbing thing to me (besides Ade Coker dying), was the hypocrisy of Papa throughout the entire book. It just appalls me to the level of disgust. One of the most gruesome scenes occurred in this section. We see Papa beat his daughter to a point to where she almost dies. She even had to stay in the hospital for a prolonged period of time while everyone else thought that she was in an accident.
We see Papa being a hypocrite throughout the entire story. He has a version of self righteousness that justifies his actions "in the name of God". These actions are ruthless and abusive towards his entire family, and they somehow put up with it (that will most likely change soon). Papa will go through with these actions to fight against his wife or his children committing sins (at least by his standards). After he does these actions, he says things like "no one will ever hurt you" or "you are ok now". He does this despite the fact that he is the one that is hurting his own children and wife. I just find it disgusting.
