2. Which statement provides the most objective summary of why Kossula starts the story of his life by
telling about his grandfather?
O A. Kossula says that a child in a house is a little mouse and that on the soll of Africa you tell abou
son, then the father. He asks if the author understands that you would not speak about a son
before speaking about the father and the man who is the father of the father.
O B. Kossula says that a child in a house is not the leader and that in Africa you would not speak
about the son before speaking about the father. So he can't speak about himself or his father
until he speaks about his grandfather.
O C. Kossula says that he is a mouse, which is not true as his life is as important as his grandfather's
life, so he should tell his story and then talk about his grandfather.
O D. The mouse is the child and cannot be a leader in a house. Children should not talk about
themselves before talking about those who came before them. Kossula's understanding of thi
shows his respect for his father and grandfather as well as for African tradition.
