Answer:
Ifeoma looks at Jaja and says that defiance, like marijuana, is “not a bad thing when used right.” Kambili is struck by both her solemnity and her sacrilege. Father Amadi asks why that is a sin, but Kambili can't answer. Father Amadi says that Papa must have told her that. Kambili and Jaja speak in a kind of special language using mostly their eyes. Jaja declares that they must protect the baby, and Kambili knows that he means to protect the baby from Papa. Before Palm Sunday there is a special kind of silence in the house, a silence associated with fear and repression. Jaja's mother, in Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, poisons her husband as a way to escape the abuse he was dishing out on his family. In an attempt to protect his mother, Jaja takes the blame for her actions and subsequently is taken to jail for three years.
