Purple Hibiscus strategies

While reading Purple Hibiscus I tried to go into the book as open minded as I possibly could so that the read would be as easy and painless as possible. However that worked for about two chapters. Once that idea ran its course I immediately slowed down when it came to reading. The strategy that I am using now is that I should read everything as if my life depends on me grasping at every detail. In case you could not notice I do not like being forced to read and I like to read at my own pace. However by doing this I have forced myself to read deeper into the book and forced myself to want to know what comes next, and try and make this book that doesn't make a lot of sense to me make any sort of sense.

One of the largest challenges that I have encountered would most definitely be the fact that there are times where I just don't care. Now I know that is not exactly a good thing to write about but if I'm being completely honest I do not find this book to be all that entertaining. My lack of caring for the actual plot of the book and me caring more for lets see if I can make sense out of this. I feel like I have this problem because I am trying to understand it in modern society.
